The main business of this new company will be to design toilet cabin systems for trains. These cabins will then be manufactured by Satys Interiors Railway Spain, our production site in Madrid.

Moreover, this new facility will give us a foothold into the German- speaking market for all of our Railway Interiors products.

Satys Interiors Railway will continue to offer high quality solutions at a competitive price and is working to become the European leader in train interiors.

Trenitalia presented to the press last week its new regional Pop train in Bologna station (Italy). This train was built by Alstom under the name Coradia stream.

Satys Interiors Railway contributed to this success by developing a new floor heating concept that improves the wellbeing of passengers.
