Revenue model

1. Railway Infrastructure Construction and Maintenance Services: Strukton generates revenue primarily through multi-year service contracts for railway infrastructure construction, renewal, and maintenance. Contracts are awarded through public tendering (e.g., Trafikverket, Trafikförvaltningen, municipalities, port authorities). Revenue is project- and contract-based, typically spanning 5 years with option periods. Services include track work, electrical, signal, telecom, and power supply systems.
2. Machine Rental and Equipment Services: The company operates a large fleet of specialized railway construction and maintenance machines (track replacement trains, ballast cleaners, aligners, stabilizers, etc.) deployed across Scandinavia and internationally. Machines are based in Sweden, Italy, and the Netherlands and operate across Europe and globally.
3. Training and Education Services: Strukton provides railway-specific technical and non-technical training for Trafikförvaltningens (SL) and Trafikverket's track infrastructure, including safety certifications, track and tunnel certifications, and continuing education for railway professionals.
