Harsco Rail unit gets follow-on orders
Written by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-ChiefHarsco Corp. Wednesday announced two follow-on orders in its Harsco Rail track maintenance business group valued at more than $15 million.
The first order is a follow-on equipment sale in Germany, where the unit will join a growing fleet of Harsco rail grinders that provide precision rail grinding of complex switch and crossing rail surfaces throughout the German railway system. Delivery is scheduled for the latter part of 2011.
A second contract addresses similar switch grinding work in the U.S. but under a contract service relationship in which Harsco owns, operates, and maintains the equipment on the customer’s behalf. This latest renewal covers a five-year contract period.
