April 2, 2021 – Alstom is
continuing to implement its Alstom in Motion strategic plan with
the acquisition of Flertex, a group specialised in the design and
manufacture of brake linings (pads and shoes) for braking systems,
particularly for the rail industry but also for other industrial
applications.
This acquisition expands and strengthens
Alstom's expertise in braking systems, a key element in the overall
technical performance of trains. It comes only a few months after
that of IBRE, a company specialised in the development,
manufacture, and supply of cast-iron or steel brake discs. This
acquisition also represents a promising development opportunity for
Flertex and its employees.
"We are pleased with this acquisition which,
similarly to IBRE, enhances our solutions and skills in the field
of braking to meet our own needs as well as those of our
customers," says Jean-Baptiste Eyméoud, President of Alstom
France.
Flertex is a group of international scope with
approximately 120 employees, with the vast majority working at its
sites in Gennevilliers (in the region of Île-de-France) and
Saint-Florentin (in the region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté), with a
turnover of around 16 million euros in 2020. More than 50% of its
turnover comes from the rail industry, mainly in France and Europe
but also in Latin America. For more than 60 years, Flertex has
focused strongly on innovation to develop ever more efficient
materials: increased braking performance, noise reduction and
reduced emissions of fine particles into the atmosphere.
