Rail
MRT manufacture high quality diecastings for UK and European railways.
Our rail castings include seating systems, internal grabrails, brake couplings, and electronic enclosures for signalling and communications systems.
We are well acquainted with the rigorous validation and process control requirements of the rail industry, and have highly robust systems in place to control materials, change management and component certification.
Client quality teams are always welcome to visit our world-class manufacturing facilities for audits and manufacturing reviews.
During component development MRT offer industry leading simulation and design tools to optimise your component for manufacture. This cuts development time and minimises design changes after initial sampling.
Continuous investment in our UK foundry and CNC machining facility has positioned MRT among the most technically advanced and highly flexible diecasting facilities in Europe for the production of rail components.
Our combination of diecasting and CNC machining provides the speed and economy of casting, and the precision and repeatability of machining.
Aluminium diecasting is ideal for rail applications. For interior fittings such as seating, our castings provide a combination of strength, light weight and excellent cosmetic finish.
A comprehensive range of surface finishing processes ensures MRT can provide a one-stop-shop for finished cast components complete and ready for your assembly line.
Our flexible manufacturing processes, and can-do approach ensure we can respond quickly to changes in demand, or for compressed time-scales on product launches.
