Faiveley Transport officially opened Faiveley Transport Czech a.s., its new industrial site in Plzen, in the Czech Republic.
Faiveley Transport Czech is an industrial facility dedicated to the manufacture of railway systems. It covers pantographs, power collectors and converters assembly operations, and is also being developed to include the assembly of couplers, buffers, brakes and doors components, which will involve all Faiveley Transport Products and Services Divisions.
Following nine months of construction work, the new site opened its doors in early January 2016 to some 300 employees. The facility comprises manufacturing, inbound and outbound warehouses, and office space covering a total area of approximately 20,000 m2, and replaces former installations of Lekov, in Blovice, approximately 20 kilometres away. An additional 6,000m² could be utilised from January 2018. Along with optimized internal logistics, production flow, visual management and an improved working environment for employees, Faiveley Transport Czech is intended to accelerate change management and achieve industrial excellence.
The project is part of the Group’s 2015-18 Strategic Plan. “The decision to open a new site in Plzen was made as part of our Strategic Plan to improve our performance and competitiveness,” Stéphane Rambaud-Measson, Faiveley Transport CEO said.
