About us

Expertise, capability and industrial vision

METRA Rail was created to provide a structured, specialised and forward-looking response to the needs of the railway industry. It is where experience and innovation come together, turning technological expertise into a solid industrial vision focused on the future.

Its organisation is built around two production hubs, Rodengo Saiano and Montale, designed to operate in perfect synergy. Both plants are equipped to manufacture any welded subassembly used in a railway car body, ensuring operational continuity, logistical efficiency and on-time delivery even in critical situations.

This is made possible by the size and characteristics of the production facilities, together with our experience and technical know-how.

At the heart of it all is a dedicated centre of expertise: an internal ecosystem integrating design, quality control, industrialisation and the management of the most complex projects.

Our approach

What sets our approach apart

Expertise

A dedicated centre integrating Sales Engineering, industrialisation and Customer Support, with the aim of driving continuous improvement in technologies and production processes.

Project Management

Advanced management of complex, multi-year projects, from industrialisation through to final delivery. A structured yet flexible approach that enables us to respond precisely to each customer’s requirements.

Flexibility

Production is organised across two complementary, fully integrated plants operating in synergy to ensure continuity and minimise any risk of disruption.

Quality

Certified standards and compliance with key international railway requirements. Every stage is monitored and traceable to ensure reliability and safety.

Sustainability

Reduced CO₂ emissions, aluminium recycling within production processes and the use of fully recyclable material: METRA Rail actively contributes to lower-impact mobility.

Vertical integration

In-house management of the entire supply chain, from foundry to welded component. This ensures full control over processes, with benefits in terms of efficiency, quality and traceability.

Production capacity

Optimised management of high monthly volumes, including long-term projects. METRA Rail’s organisation combines internal resources with an established network of partners.
