And if you need tailor-made solutions that go beyond Thermitrex’s core competence, the company can rely on the know-how and portfolio of the global Goldschmidt Group.

Extreme climatic and topographical conditions are a major challenge for track construction in Africa. There are also high mechanical loads, because the rail infrastructure is mainly used for heavy goods transport. That is why network operators and transport and construction companies rely on continuously welded tracks with Thermit® welding, the most flexible, reliable and economical welding process.
