About Us
Rail2Rail operates from Kimberley in the Northern Cape and Gqeberha in Eastern Cape and has been in the industry for close to a decade. Rail 2 Rail manufactures pre-stressed concrete railway sleepers (PY and P2) and Vossloh sleepers ( FY and F4) in compliance with SABS ISO 9001-2000 standards and is one of the biggest manufacturers of concrete sleepers in South Africa. Rail2Rail also manufactures and imports infrastructure materials, such as concrete sleepers, rail, fasteners and turnouts.
In 2020, a new facility was opened in Gqeberha to flash butt weld steel rails predominantly for Transnet.
Rail2Rail has the capacity to produce 400 000 sleepers per annum, which are transported via a rail siding all across South Africa. The company also manufactures turnouts and fastening systems which offer flexibility in the superstructures of rail infrastructure through our partnership with Vossloh.
Our manufacturing process for sleepers, turnouts, fasteners and steel rods uses advanced French technology under license from our global multinational partners Rail One GMBH, Vossloh and France Rail Industry.
Rail2Rail currently licenses technology from key global partners in order to be competitive and provide a superior product.
