Under the project, the company will implement technological, renewable energy and infrastructure improvements that will increase annual production capacity by around 100 wagon bodies, allowing for a total of 750 wagon bodies to be produced annually. The investment will create 173 new jobs.
The improvements will be implemented between 2023 and 2026.
