Railcare provides railway maintenance services and equipment primarily in Scandinavia and the UK. They specialise in the handling of cables and excess mass, relining of railway drums, snow clearance and the manufacture and rental of locomotives, wagons, personnel and towing equipment.
Railways are heavily regulated, which means that they often are subject to budgets and public procurement processes, creating lumpiness in the business. The sector is also sensitive to changes in political priorities and tastes. Disruptive technology in other means of transportation is another risk.
