Today, Global Railway Industries Ltd. announced it will relocate Rafna Industries Ltd.’s manufacturing operations from Baie D' Urfe, Quebec, to Berwick, Pa. Global Railway subsidiary G&B Specialties Inc. will manufacture Rafna-branded rail-gear products in Berwick.
G&B Specialties will maintain Rafna’s Canadian sales and service offices in Calgary, Alberta, and Montreal.
“Combining the manufacturing into one facility allows G&B to optimize its production planning and mitigate the seasonal factors associated with the rail-gear market," said Global Railway Chief Executive Officer Mike Kohut in a prepared statement. “There will be no disruption in the supply and service of rail-gear units as a result of this consolidation.”
Global Railway markets various railway equipment and supplies in North America.
