Hanjes & Co. Stahlbau

What Hanjes & Co. Stahlbau does

Hanjes & Co. Stahlbau is an Austrian, family-owned manufacturer of railway vehicle components, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Vienna. The company produces interior, exterior, technical, and shell-construction assemblies for rolling stock — including complete car-body fabrication, driver cabs (e.g., for EMU metro trains), and innovative modular subsystems such as a co-developed multifunctional lightweight partition panel. Its core technology is certified metal-welding (EN 15085-2 CL1, EN ISO 3834-2) combined with adhesive bonding to EN 17460 Class A2, supported by EN ISO 9001 and EN ISO 14001 quality and environmental management — credentials that are gating qualifications for Tier-1 rail OEM supply.

The company operates a multi-entity structure spanning Austria (Hanjes & Co. Stahlbau and Hanjes Material Services GmbH) and Croatia (Hanjes d.o.o.), employing more than 500 staff. Customers include Siemens Mobility, for which Hanjes supplies on the Velaro (high-speed), Avenio (tram), and Vectron (locomotive) platforms, as well as London Underground and ÖBB (Railjet), with project references visible across Europe, the Middle East, and the United States. Go-to-market is project-based and tender-driven, mediated through EU co-funded internationalization and R&D programs and partnerships with DIZ-CNC, Iveković-TZM, and CAA in the SPIN consortium. Revenue is generated through contract manufacturing for OEM rolling-stock programs; no recurring SaaS or volume-product pricing model is disclosed, and no digital/AI-enabled product layer is indicated.

Core offering

Hanjes & Co. Stahlbau manufactures custom, fully assembled and ready-to-install railway vehicle components for high-speed trains, trams, locomotives, and metros. The portfolio covers interior components (handrails, seat holders, luggage racks, ceiling panelling, floor flaps, fire extinguisher boxes), exterior shell components (roof elements, side panels, skirt profiles, door frames), and technical parts (cable ducts, welded profiles, support brackets). Manufacturing is based on CAD-supported design along with welding and bonding of aluminium, stainless steel, and steel to railway-industry certifications.

Product overview

Hanjes & Co. Stahlbau is a railway component manufacturer specializing in the development and production of fully assembled, ready-to-install components for railway vehicles. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio across four main product categories: Interior Components (handrails, seat holders, luggage racks, ceiling panelling, floor components, fire extinguisher boxes), Exterior Components (roof elements, side panels, skirt profiles, door frames), Technical Components (cable ducts, support brackets, welded profiles), and Shell Construction. The product portfolio is supported by CAD construction services, welding services (combining craftsmanship and robotics), and bonded assemblies. Currently in development is an innovative multifunctional lightweight partition panel for reducing railway vehicle mass and emissions. The company processes aluminium, stainless steel, and steel, and operates with over 500 employees across Austria and Croatia locations.

Direct peers

• Voith GmbH & Co. KGaA: Supplies rail drivetrains, couplers, and digital industrial technology to locomotive and rail-car builders globally. Comparable to Hanjes as a long-established European manufacturer of technically demanding, certified rail-vehicle components supplied directly to OEMs.
• Knorr-Bremse AG: Global market leader for braking systems and other rail-vehicle subsystems, supplying major OEMs including Siemens, Alstom, and Stadler. Comparable to Hanjes as a Tier-1/2 supplier of safety-critical, certified rail-vehicle subsystems built to similar railway welding and quality standards.
• Dellner Bubenzer: Specialty supplier of rail couplers, gangways, and brake systems for rail vehicles, supplying major European OEMs. Comparable to Hanjes as a niche Tier-1 supplier of custom-engineered, safety-critical rail-vehicle subassemblies with similar customer base.

Broad incumbents

• CAF (Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles): Spanish rail OEM producing trains, metros, trams, and locomotives with a strong European presence. Comparable as a customer peer; Hanjes' small-batch certified fabrication fits CAF's component supply needs.
• Wabtec Corporation: Large diversified rail equipment supplier offering braking, freight wagon components, transit systems, and digital solutions globally. Broader portfolio and scale than Hanjes but overlaps as a certified supplier of rail-vehicle subsystems and components to the same European OEMs.
• Stadler Rail AG: Swiss rail OEM specializing in locomotives, multiple units, and trams, with European manufacturing footprint similar to Hanjes. Comparable as a customer-side peer; Hanjes' cab, interior, and structural work fits Stadler's supply-chain profile.
• CRRC Corporation Limited: World's largest rail OEM, offering a full range of locomotives, multiple units, metros, and trams. Comparable as a customer-side rail OEM peer; relevant for Hanjes' ambition to scale component supply beyond European OEMs.
• Alstom SA: Global rail OEM manufacturing rolling stock (trams, metros, high-speed trains, locomotives). Hanjes is a current/planned supplier to Alstom platforms; comparable as a customer-companion in the rail supply ecosystem, though vertically integrated across the full vehicle.
• Talgo S.A. Spanish high-speed and intercity rail OEM with lightweight aluminum vehicle architectures — technologically aligned with Hanjes' aluminum welding/bonding expertise and rail-vehicle component scope.
• Siemens Mobility: Division of Siemens AG manufacturing rail vehicles including Velaro high-speed trains, Avenio trams, and Vectron locomotives — all current Hanjes reference customers. Comparable as the dominant customer peer in Hanjes' portfolio.
