The Company’s owners, László Wieszt and László Lantos embraced the spiritual legacy of the former Ganz factories, and founded Hungarotrain Kft. in 1992.
At the present, we have 10 permanent associates both engineers and technicians. In spite of our small size, we actively contribute to the life of the railway and vehicle industry sector. With its 100% Hungarian ownership background, the Company is primarily involved in the maintenance, repair servicing, commissioning and development of railway vehicles and the design of industrial electronics and control systems.
The members have actively participated in the design and manufacturing of the Hungarian railway vehicle park. We have also contributed to the manufacturing, commissioning and servicing of Ganz-Transelektro Rt’s trolley buses delivered to Landskrona and Rome.
Our cooperation with the Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) looks back on a long history, we have had a role in the repair services of commissioned vehicles both in and beyond the guarantee periods. We have important relations and contacts with the vehicle repair service entities of MÁV, and as subcontractors we have been involved in the major overhauls and commissioning works of the above-mentioned vehicles.
Under the commission of the manufacturer, our Company was acting for the guarantee repair services of the AdTranz (ABB) trainsets delivered to MÁV. Since the expiry of the guarantee period, we have been participating in maintenance works on the basis of MÁV’s order.
Apart from the domestic railway company, we are the reliable partners of a number of foreign companies that are key stakeholders in vehicle industry. As Bombardier’s subcontractor, our associates have been active in the commissioning of the RS2 metro in New Delhi, as well as the preparation of the local personnel for the operation of the metro for three years now. In Hungary, we render repair services to the components of Talent trains for Bombardier MÁV Kft. In 2010, under the commission of Stadler Bussnang AG we were appointed to commission the Flirt trains purchased by MÁV Zrt. and have them authorized by the National Transport Authority.
The key pledge of our Company’s competitiveness and future is our reliable, diligent and target-oriented work. Our firm financial background established throughout long years, as well as our team of highly prepared experts are guarantees for our appropriate performance to our customers and subcontractors alike. Our Company stands out for conventional values, because we are convinced that our commitment to the development of railway transportation has much more to yield over time than the enforcement of immediate and direct economic interests.
