Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)

Track-Tec is a Polish leading supplier of track superstructure materials. The company plans to move production of concrete sleepers from a plant taken over in Serbia to Goczalkow (Poland). 'We decided to transfer the production line to Poland due to the growing demand for sleepers and the country's infrastructure plans regarding the amount of expenses for modernising the railway infrastructure after 2021' said the Chairman of the Management Board of Track-Tec Group. The production line has been already dismantled and the related equipment moved to Goczałków. The production line will be launched at the beginning of 2018, increasing the Group's production capacity of 300,000 sleepers per year.
