Walking the path to a low-carbon future together

Alstom develops and markets mobility solutions that provide a sustainable foundation for the future of the transport market. Alstom's product portfolio ranges from high-speed trains, metros, monorails and trams to integrated systems, tailor-made services, infrastructure, signalling and digital mobility solutions.

Today, the company brings together over 120 years of Swiss railway history. The local predecessor companies of Alstom's Swiss subsidiary date back to the end of the 19th century. For example, Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon (MFO), Schweizerische Lokomotiv- und Maschinenfabrik (SLM) in Winterthur or the railway business of BBC and later ABB. In the course of the consolidation of Swiss and international manufacturers of rolling stock, Alstom grew to become one of the most important producers in the country. The Alstom production facility for the manufacture of railway carriages for the Swiss market in Villeneuve/VD even dates back to the founding of an engineering company in 1842.
