Rail

Distribution of railway equipement

Forlam-Rail, a new division of Forlam Group , is mainly involved in the trading of railway material. This includes products manufactured by the Group such as fishplates and glued insulating joints, but also rail accessories products (lag screws, bolts, fasteners, tie bars…) or even rail lubrication systems, buffer-stops, ballast resin…

After a stake acquisition in 2021 of Transalys MDV (now called Forlam-Rail France), a company specialized in the distribution of railways equipment in France, a joint venture ALMAR (a collaboration between Forlam and the Austrian company Martin Schienentechnik) was created the same year for the manufacturing and trading of insulating joints.

This strategic partnership allows the Group to offer a complete range of equipment to its customers and to position itself as a global supplier of solutions, distributing both in France and internationally, an extensive range of railway components.

By relying on these two areas of expertise, and thanks to the complementarity of equipment and products adapted to every single country, Forlam-Rail reinforces its position as an European leader in the field of fishplates for railroads.
