70 years of Plasser & Theurer

In the age of climate change, the railway is experiencing an enormous upswing. More cost efficient, safer, and more sustainable than all other transport systems, it is the mobility solution of the future. Plasser & Theurer sees itself as a part of the railway ecosystem and has been working on enhancing this system’s performance from the very beginning. In that sense, innovations have always played an important role. Over the years, many of them have become standards. And they have shaped today’s image of track maintenance in a major way. In the early 1950s, Plasser & Theurer recognized that the mechanization of track work would be a decisive factor in the development of the railway system. What was missing above all was a tamping technology that could consistently withstand the enormous amount of loading on the track. By inventing tamping machines with hydraulic squeezing, that gap was filled. Today, this innovation is the proven standard in tamping technology: Plasser & Theurer holds 936 patents for tamping technology alone and a total of 2,500 active patents. As a full-range supplier, Plasser & Theurer provides machine technologies for almost every work process: tamping, ballast management, stabilization and compaction, ballast cleaning, formation rehabilitation, material logistics, track renewal and track laying, mobile rail treatment, measuring work – the ideal machine concept is available for every requirement. Nevertheless, new technologies are still necessary.
