Rail company Stadler US becomes its own division

Rail company Stadler US becomes its own divisionStadler — which has been building trains for over 80 years, has its headquarters in Bussnang in eastern Switzerland, a workforce of around 14,500 based in various production and engineering locations, as well as more than 80 service locations — has seen Stadler US grow rapidly in recent years. To support and strengthen this development, the board of directors has decided to separate the US location from the Swiss division as of 1 January 2025, creating its own North America division; this will be headed by the current CEO Martin Ritter (pictured), who will become a member of the group management board.

Stadler established its US headquarters in Salt Lake City in 2016, after Trinity Metro in Texas ordered eight diesel-electric Flirt trains in 2015. Stadler established a new facility so as to comply with the ‘Buy America Act’, which stipulates that at least 60% of the value added for federally funded projects must be generated in the USA.

Since then, Stadler has enjoyed continuous growth there, and today more than 500 people work for Stadler in the USA. At the end of October 2024, work started to make the plant even bigger, enabling Stadler to manage ongoing growth and, in future, manufacture coach bodies in the USA.

The company recently secured an order for four diesel-powered DMU Flirt for Trinity Metro in Texas and one for up to 80 new streetcars for Salt Lake City. GTW, KISS and hydrogen-powered Flirt are already in operation in various parts of the US, confirming Stadler’s presence in the North American market with a wide range of products.

Peter Spuhler, Stadler’s chairman of the board of directors, said: “Stadler US has enjoyed significant growth over recent years. We are now strengthening the location to underscore the importance of this market.”
