Founded in 1888 by blacksmith Eduard Vossloh in Werdohl, Germany—where the company manufactured spring washers for the Royal Prussian Railway—Vossloh AG has evolved into an integrated rail infrastructure technology leader. Listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (SDAX) and headquartered in Werdohl, Vossloh operates across four strategic divisions: Core Components, Customized Modules, Lifecycle Solutions, and Tie Technologies, employing approximately 4,000 specialists worldwide across more than 75 production and service facilities.

Vossloh is globally recognized for defining international permanent way standards. Its Core Components division engineers rail fastening systems—anchored by its tension clamps (such as the W-system and System 300)—holding rails securely on ballasted and slab tracks across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Through its Tie Technologies division (including Rocla Concrete Tie), Vossloh is the foremost manufacturer of pre-stressed concrete rail ties and turnout sleepers in North America.

Its Customized Modules division engineers and manufactures complex switches, crossings, track turnout systems, manganese frogs, and signaling point machines for high-speed lines and heavy-haul freight networks. Through Lifecycle Solutions, Vossloh pioneered High Speed Grinding (HSG)—a technology capable of operating within scheduled train paths at speeds up to 80 km/h without track closures to eliminate rail head defects, prevent rolling contact fatigue (head checking), and reduce operational rail noise.
