of Alstom’s presence in Benelux
8 March 2021 - Alstom has signed a purchase agreement for
the acquisition of Shunter, a leading services company in the area
of maintenance of rolling stock for freight and passenger transport
in the Netherlands.
Shunter, headquartered in Rotterdam, employs
approximately 110 skilled people across three maintenance workshops
and three services locations. The group offers its customers a
broad and integrated package of services in the field of management
and maintenance of rolling stock for freight and passenger
transport and on-board signalling solutions, including the
performance of maintenance, damage repair and modifications. This
is done both in its workshops and on location. Each year, Shunter
carries out maintenance, overhaul and damage repair on more than
1,000 railway vehicles. Shunter’s annual turnover in 2020 was
around €20 million.
This transaction will reinforce Alstom’s
position in the Benelux maintenance market by combining both
companies’ capabilities, solutions and products to the benefit of
railway operators. It will also reinforce Alstom’s global
maintenance services with a physical presence in the Port of
Rotterdam.
“We are very enthusiastic to integrate Shunter's
expertise which is widely recognised by the operators,” says
Bernard Belvaux, Alstom Managing Director Benelux. “Shunter’s full
maintenance expertise will complement Alstom’s knowledge and
installed base in products and solutions. It will enable us to
become an even stronger maintenance partner to our customers,
increasing availability and reducing the total cost of ownership of
their fleets.”
“The collaboration between Shunter and Alstom is
not new: we have been working together for over 14 years. The
integration of Shunter into an international group will bring us
new possibilities with access to new markets. I am delighted to
join Alstom and convinced that with our combined expertise we can
satisfy our customers even better,” says Jos Toes, Managing
Director of Shunter.
The completion of transaction is subject to the
satisfaction of mutually agreed conditions. It is expected to
occur by 2nd quarter 2021.
Alstom operates in Benelux with two global
competence centres dedicated to signalling and power electronics,
two manufacturing sites – one for rolling stock and one for
components - and several signalling project offices. The service
activities are carried out through a network of locations to
support customers with proximity.
