Ansaldo Trasporti

What Ansaldo Trasporti does

Ansaldo Trasporti S.r.l. is an Italian private company (S.r.l.) headquartered in Somma Vesuviana, with operational facilities in Acerra (Naples area) and Casablanca, Morocco. The company designs, constructs, installs, integrates, and maintains rail and metro transportation systems, offering a portfolio spanning very-high-speed rolling stock, multimodal locomotives, intercity coaches, EMU and DMU trainsets, fully low-floor trams, light and heavy metro systems, and narrow-gauge vehicles. Service modules include spare parts supply, revamping (renovation/modernization), overhaul (commissioning and preventive maintenance), predictive/planned/corrective maintenance, service and commissioning, and "Built to Print" / "Built to Spec" design services.

The business operates on a B2B enterprise sales model, serving railway operators, metro and urban transit authorities, and rolling stock manufacturers. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise engagement with transit authorities and OEMs, supplemented by flagship partnerships with Ansaldobreda S.p.A. (former parent and manufacturing partner) and CAF in Spain and Italy. The customer base disclosed on its corporate website is concentrated among Italian public-transport authorities (ATM Milan, ANM Naples, EAV Campania), Morocco's ONCF (for bogie overhaul at the Casablanca plant), and OEMs such as Ansaldobreda and CAF.

The company is wholly owned by Gesa Industry, which acquired the Ansaldo brand from Ansaldobreda S.p.A. in 2022 and is the sole shareholder. Sole Director is Gennaro di Sarno. Revenue is generated through professional services (maintenance, overhaul, revamping, design, commissioning) and hardware sales (spare parts), with project-based custom pricing and no publicly disclosed rates. Beyond core rail services, Ansaldo Trasporti has expanded into adjacent sustainability-adjacent technology via the 2023 Purifygo anti-smog bus filtration system deployed with ConeroBus and monitored in real time via an IoT control center operated with AGT Engineering. The company holds a full suite of rail-industry certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22163/IRIS, ISO 45001, EN 15085, and ECM Entity-in-Charge-of-Maintenance certifications) issued by RINA and the Italian National Safety Authority.
