1 July 2020 – Alstom is taking a new step
forward in the implementation of its AiM (Alstom in Motion)
strategic plan in France with the acquisition of Ibre, a company
specialised in the development, manufacture and supply of cast iron
or steel brake discs for high-speed, intercity, regional and
suburban trains, trams and metros. Alstom and Ibre already had a
long working relationship on projects for SNCF. With the
acquisition, Alstom will reinforce its internal capabilities
regarding railway braking systems, which are essential to the
overall dynamic performance of trains.
Ibre employs around 30 people at its Sens site in the region of
Bourgogne Franche Comté and had a turnover of approximately €10
million in 2019. It is a company with an international scope, with
more than half of its sales in France, of both original equipment
and replacements. The rest primarily serves customers in Austria,
Australia, Belgium, Scandinavia, England, India and Germany.
"This acquisition represents very promising development
potential for Ibre and its employees and is in line with Alstom’s
strategy to extend its know-how," says Jean-Baptiste Eyméoud,
Senior Vice President Alstom France.
Railway brake discs are one of the critical components of the
braking system. Alstom's acquisition of Ibre represents a unique
opportunity to extend its offer. Ibre products will be offered as
original equipment and as part of maintenance contracts. Following
completion of the transaction, which took place on 30 June, the
company, renamed "Alstom Ibre", becomes a wholly owned subsidiary
of Alstom.
