Canpotex has selected National Steel Car (Hamilton, Ontario) to manufacture 700 new railcars specially designed to transport Saskatchewan potash to coastal ports. Canpotex’s investment in these additional railcars is valued at USD 70 million.
“Canpotex’s success is due in part to our 43-year reputation as a reliable supplier of potash. The quality and innovative design of the railcars from National Steel Car will ensure we continue to reliably deliver the potash our global customers need, when they need it,” Canpotex President and CEO Steve Dechka noted.
“We are proud of our strong relationship and 20-year history of working with and producing industry-leading potash cars for Canpotex,” stated Gregory J. Aziz, National Steel Car’s Chairman and CEO.
Since 1999, Canpotex has invested over USD 500 million to build over 7,000 railcars with National Steel Car.
