UNIFE are the European Rail Supply Industry, which advocates on behalf of more than 100 leading rail supply companies in Europe – from SMEs to major industrial champions – who are active in the design, manufacture, maintenance and refurbishment of rail transport systems, subsystems and related equipment. UNIFE also brings together national rail industry associations from 11 European countries. UNIFE’s members account for 84 per cent of the European, and 46 per cent of the global market for rail equipment and services (stats at March 2022). UNIFE communicate members’ interests at European and international levels while actively promoting rail equipment and standards worldwide. UNIFE’s membership reflects all segments of Europe’s rail supply industry from rolling stock manufacturers and infrastructure suppliers to system integrators and engineering companies. UNIFE’s members are committed to collaborating on common challenges facing our sector, and also providing the innovative technology needed to meet the growing demand for sustainable transport.
