Siemens expands rail service network with first Rail Service Center in Poland

• Investment underscores the importance of the Polish market for Siemens Mobility
• New Rail Service Center will support locomotive fleets in Poland and across Central and Eastern Europe
• New depot as part of the European service network for Siemens locomotives

Siemens Mobility is expanding its European rail service network with the construction of a new state-of-the-art Rail Service Center in Gądki near Poznań, Poland. The new depot is scheduled to open in 2027 and will provide comprehensive maintenance services for locomotives operating in Poland and across Central and Eastern Europe. The new 4,300-square-meter facility will accommodate up to seven locomotives simultaneously and will include around five kilometers of electrified tracks, cutting-edge maintenance equipment, including an underfloor wheel lathe and a dropping table, as well as a dedicated testing area. Service operations will be based on Railigent X, Siemens Mobility’s suite for applications and services, helping to optimize maintenance processes and maximize fleet availability. The new depot in Poland will become an integral part of Siemens Mobility’s European service network for locomotives and further strengthens its global service footprint.

“With our first Rail Service Center in Poland, we are expanding our service network in a strategically important European rail market, to provide best-in-class service based on the latest technologies. With more than 130 service locations in over 30 countries, we combine global expertise with local presence to support our customers and help ensure up to 100% fleet availability. This investment further strengthens our service capabilities, enabling us to provide reliable support throughout the entire lifecycle while creating the foundation for the further development of our service business in Europe,” said Elmar Zeiler, CEO Customer Services at Siemens Mobility.

Expanding Siemens Mobility’s global service network

Siemens Mobility operates one of the rail industry’s largest global service networks. The network supports customers throughout the lifecycle of their rail systems, with the goal of maximizing fleet availability and operational efficiency. As an integral part of the network, the new Rail Service Center in Poland will expand maintenance capabilities across Central and Eastern Europe and provide customers with faster and more flexible access to service capacities. The facility will offer both light and heavy maintenance and cover a broad range of activities, from scheduled inspections and maintenance of safety systems to major overhauls, modifications, accident repairs and mobile service. Sustainability is also a key element of the new facility, which is planned to operate carbon neutrally.

Building on strong service expertise in Poland

Siemens Mobility already has more than 15 years of experience in locomotive maintenance in Poland. Today, a team of more than 60 specialists supports several hundred locomotives annually, including Vectron, Taurus and BR189-F4 vehicles. Maintenance activities are supported by digital solutions including Railigent X, Siemens Mobility’s digital platform for rail asset management, as well as digital tools for fleet and spare-parts management. Siemens Mobility has also been ECM-certified in Poland since 2021, providing the framework for maintenance management, engineering support and fleet management. The new Rail Service Center will consolidate and expand these existing capabilities, while increasing the range and capacity of services that can be performed locally.

Local partnerships support long-term growth

The development of the new Rail Service Center is supported by local and regional partners, including Marshal’s Office of the Wielkopolska Voivodeship, together with the Municipality of Kórnik and the Zakłady Kórnickie Foundation. The investment is intended to strengthen local rail expertise, support the development of multi-system locomotive maintenance capabilities and contribute to the continued growth of sustainable rail transport in Poland and across Central and Eastern Europe.
