EWA in a strong Foundry Group
The foundry has been a part of DIHAG Holding GmbH since 1999.
Ten tradition-steeped foundries have merged in this high-performance corporate group. Under the joint Holding umbrella, each tradition-steeped subsidiary operates independently as specialist in its respective market segment.
The DIHAG foundries benefit from the financially strong Holding, which has invested EUR 150 million in state-of-the-art facilities and technologies of its foundries since 2008 alone.
To pool competencies in design and production of brake block shoes and increase synergies, EWA merged with two other foundries from DIHAG Holding GmbH to become Euro-Rail GmbH. Together with the foundries Euro Metall Kft. Budapest and Odlewnia Żeliwa Bydgoszcz Sp. z o.o., Eisenwerk Arnstadt GmbH, as Euro-Rail GmbH, is a long-term partner and main supplier for many European State Railways.
