Margaritelli Ferroviaria S.p.A. made its debut appearance at the 2016 edition of Innotrans, which is held in Berlin every two years. It is the most important international trade exhibition in the sector of railway transportation technologies. The number of visitors to the stand from all over the world greatly exceeded expectations. Visitors showed a lot of interest in the innovative technical track laying solutions the company presented at the fair: from PRC sleepers for tunnels to those incorporating USP, the sleeper model for housing a eurobalise and relative wiring, the rail wiring sleeper system and sleepers for insulated joints in track signalling circuits, as well as the company’s environmentally friendly impregnation treatment for wooden sleepers.

A highly efficient logistics operation set up and run in-house enabled Margaritelli Ferroviaria S.p.A. to complete delivery on schedule of over 250,000 sleepers along the line for the new French High Speed rail link between Nîmes – Montpellier. The sleepers were transported from Italy by rail to a temporary storage unit near Saint-Césaire, set up and equipped by Margaritelli Ferroviaria S.p.A. Consignments of sleepers were then reloaded as required and delivered along the line in step with the advancement of the track laying site. The new line will be open to rail traffic by the end of 2017.
