2009 was a year of restructuring key internal processes of rail vehicle higher grade repairs, focusing on a more effective and cost cutting operation. Earlier there were two separated Repair Centre. Due to some duplication in operation, parts management and the size of the workshop staff, which was combined with slackening trend in repair needs, the overall repair activity slowed down resulting in unused repair capacity. By the end of 2009 all kind of electric and diesel-electric Locomotive overhauls and modernization works were performed under “one roof of the dedicated workshop” eliminating ineffective process elements.

This year’s highlight for the Company will be to “Open wider window” toward other European Railway and Public Transport Companies and their affiliates, seeking possible ways of closer cooperation with them.

MÁV-GÉPÉSZET Zrt is committed to become a reliable and flexible business Partner for the interested Rail Companies appreciating the various potential working cooperation levels from a broad-scope strategic contact to very specific and complex maintenance and / or repair agreements.
