#hm19 // How #LAPP fast-tracks connection solutions for #railway technology

Rail traffic is being expanded in many places. Long lead times and the high costs involved in storing products for the railway industry can make this a real challenge. But there is another way.

Do you frequently travel by train? The global railway industry is growing at a rapid pace: the market’s trading volume was estimated at around 50 billion dollars in 2018. And according to the estimates of Research and Markets, this will have risen to approximately 70 billion dollars by 2025. Global growth in this sector is being driven by infrastructure developments and work on high-speed connections. In addition, more and more routes are being approved for freight traffic, resulting in increasing demand for trains and wagons for goods transport. But expanding and updating rail traffic is a major challenge. One of the biggest problems is the availability of cables and connection solutions. Large minimum order volumes and long lead times are standard in this area. This results in product shortages and high warehousing costs.

First-class delivery service

But this isn’t the case with us. We aim to make products available quickly in the right quantity and in the right place. And this doesn’t only apply to major projects – we also take small orders with no minimum quantities and supply tailored cable lengths. Our standard products are available in 24 to 72 hours throughout Germany and Europe. We can also be found locally in the rest of the world thanks to our network of more than 40 sales organisations and upward of 100 sales partners.  

How do we achieve this? We all may have to wait for a train occasionally, but we at LAPP don’t wait for orders before commencing production. We deliver directly from the warehouse, where we currently have more than a million metres of cable. And far from being merely a cable manufacturer, we can offer you full connection solution packages – all from under one roof. Our extra flexible cables in the ?LFLEX? CLASSIC SF or ?LFLEX? TRAIN ranges are suitable for use in all sorts of areas of railway technology. Our oil- and UV-resistant SKINTOP? connection solutions and vibration-proof EPIC? connector systems are just the thing for harsh areas of application with high temperatures or outdoors. Climb aboard – we are the right railway technology partner for you.
