Gmundner Fertigteile

What Gmundner Fertigteile does

Gmundner Fertigteile is an Austrian family-owned manufacturer founded in 1972, headquartered in Ohlsdorf, specializing in precast concrete and polymer concrete infrastructure products for the global railway sector. The company operates as a GesmbH & CoKG (Austrian limited partnership), jointly founded by the Asamer and Stern & Hafferl entrepreneurial families, and is a subsidiary of the Stern-Gruppe diversified mobility group. With approximately 65 employees, the company runs four core product lines: BODAN modular polymer concrete track covering systems for level crossings, BO-TRACK reinforced concrete slabs for heavy-duty industrial tracks, BO-GATE platform elements for railway stations, and BO-STATION technical buildings for transformer and switching stations.

The company's core technology centers on the patented BODAN Bridge Design, a polymer concrete modular track covering system where frameless slabs transfer road traffic loads through the rail sleeper grid into the ballast bed, remaining independent of rail profile, sleeper type, or fastening system. This architecture enables panel reuse after relocation, simplifies maintenance (only rubber profiles require periodic replacement), and supports axle loads up to 120 tons in industrial configurations. BODAN systems have demonstrated lifespans exceeding 25 years in service, with Austrian installations operating for 30+ years. Manufacturing capacity was materially expanded with a new 85m x 25m x 16m production hall featuring a 60-ton crane, officially opened June 6, 2025, designed to serve rail, energy, and e-mobility sectors.

Gmundner Fertigteile operates a direct enterprise sales model targeting national railway operators, metro and tram systems, and energy suppliers, with a sales team organized by geography (Austria and international) and product line. Revenue is generated through project-based one-time sales of custom-tailored solutions developed collaboratively with customers. The export quota exceeds 50%, with installations in 15+ countries including Germany, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Malaysia, Japan, Australia, India, Italy, Netherlands, Ireland, Denmark, and Hungary. Marketing is conducted primarily through international trade shows (InnoTrans Berlin, Rail Solution Asia, Mass-Trans Innovation Japan, ILCAD/TRESPAD) and academic/industry publications, with named customers including ÖBB, Deutsche Bahn, KTMB, Wiener Linien, Rhaetian Railway, Kobe Railways, and KEIKYU Railways. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, the Austria Quality Seal, and country-specific railway approvals across served markets.

Core offering

Gmundner Fertigteile manufactures precast concrete and polymer concrete products for railway infrastructure. Its core offerings include BODAN modular track covering systems for level crossings between rail and road, BO-TRACK reinforced concrete track support slabs for heavy-traffic and industrial areas, BO-GATE platform elements for stations, and BO-STATION technical buildings and modules for transformer, switching, and gas reduction stations.

Product overview

Gmundner Fertigteile is a specialist for precast concrete parts in the areas of transport and energy, offering four core product lines: BODAN (modular polymer concrete track covering systems for railroad crossings), BO-TRACK (reinforced concrete track support slabs for heavy traffic and industrial areas), BO-GATE (reinforced concrete platform elements for station areas), and BO-STATION (flexible technical buildings and modules). These products work together as a complete infrastructure solution system connecting rail and road, from level crossings and platforms to technical buildings at railway installations.

Products and services

• BODAN Modular track covering system made of polymer concrete for railroad level crossings between rail and road. Frameless slabs are laid between the rails like a bridge and transfer traffic loads from the road via the rail sleeper grid into the ballast bed. Suitable for single and multi-track crossings, Y-sleepers, switch areas, and grooved rails. Used by national railway operators, urban transit, and tram systems.
• BO-TRACK Reinforced concrete track support slabs for use in heavy traffic and industrial areas. Solid elements provide maximum robustness under extreme loads with edge protection brackets in galvanized design. Panel thickness 35 cm or 45 cm, standard lengths 400 cm or 500 cm, axle loads up to 90 tons for industrial plants and up to 120 tons with different plate heights.
• BO-GATE Reinforced concrete platform elements for railway stations, stops, and waiting shelters. Consists of only three elements per platform with non-slip surface of high roughness, seamless guidance system for the blind, and quick assembly. Installation possible while the railway is in operation. Maximum individual component weight approx. 4 tons enables installation using a two-way excavator.
• BO-STATION Flexible customized buildings and modules for safety and protection requirements. Technical buildings offered ready-made or modular, suitable for installation during ongoing railway operation. Applications include transformer stations, switching stations, gas reduction stations, well buildings, and stops or toilet buildings. Optionally available with raised floor, basement, and technical equipment including air conditioning.
