    Rail.One (previously known as Pfleiderer Track Systems) was a major player in the rail track industry for which it provides sleepers with or without ballast. Its high level of expertise means it participates in international infrastructure projects. With its 7 plants, in 2006, located in Germany, Hungary, Romania and Spain, Rail.One is well established in Europe and is pursuing a strategy of development in strong growth markets.

We appreciate Ardian’s unique support on our growth path that helped us very much to become market leader and position us ideally for future growth.”

Daniel Schustermann Managing Director of Schustermann & Borenstein

It is an efficient team, determined and confident in its choices, and always attentive to its partners. The relationships of trust that the Ardian team builds over time, with the management teams and, beyond that, with the advisors around them, are part of their DNA.
