Multi Rail

What Multi Rail does

Multi Rail S.r.l. is an Italian private company founded in 2000 and headquartered in Cimavilla di Codognè (Treviso), Veneto, that designs, engineers, manufactures, and supplies turn-key catering systems and equipment for installation on board trains, with a primary focus on high-speed rail restaurant cars and galleys. The company sells four modular product families — MULTIATLAS (interchangeable freezers, refrigerators, warming ovens, and convection ovens), MULTICOMBO (optimized-size refrigerator/freezer combinations), MULTILINE (a fixed-width 940 mm modular galley architecture with STORAGE | COOKING | WASHING main-modules), and MULTIHEATER (compact on-board water heaters) — engineered to withstand the dynamic stress of high-speed rail operation. Manufacturing is supported by ISO 9001 quality management certification and UNI EN 15085-2:2020 certification for welding of railway vehicle components.

The company's revenue model combines direct enterprise sales of custom-engineered hardware systems with professional services covering design, on-board installation, commissioning, and after-sale support. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are directed to request quotations through the website. The primary customer segment is rail OEMs and operators — Multi Rail has documented installs with Hitachi Rail Italy (ETR 1000 bar/galley, ETR 500 galley) and Talgo Spain (TAF EMU Galley Club/Preferente) — with selective diversification into marine vessels (Mariner UK), hospital, community, and restoration catering. Commercial activity is anchored on direct enterprise engagement and biennial InnoTrans trade fair participation, including a 2024 joint booth with Zoppas Industries and scheduled presence at InnoTrans 2026. The company is privately held with 11–50 employees, no disclosed investors, parent entity, funding rounds, or revenue figures.
