Since 1993, MF Wirth Rail Corporation has been dedicated to supplying the highest quality rail (tee, crane, girder, contact, and guard rails) to heavy-haul railways and mass transit authorities as well as to a wide variety of industries in North and South America.

Working closely with the rail mills, Wirth Rail ensures that its customers get the quality products they need and the service they deserve.

Most of Wirth Rail’s offered sections are produced to the latest standard specifications or to specific customer requirements in fully integrated ISO 9001 certified rail mills, made from virgin iron in vacuum degassed, continuous casting processes. Rails are subjected to visual, ultrasonic, line straightness, dimensional tolerances and end straightness inspections, depending on the specifications.

The rails are then prepared for timely shipment, transported and delivered by Wirth Rail to the customer’s storage yard of job site in desired lengths or in CWR stings.

Wirth Rail is North and South America's leading supplier for rails for transit systems.
Wirth Rail's rail products include tee, crane, girder, contact, and guard rails.
Wirth Rail has invested in the production of smaller vignole rail profiles for light-rail transit (LRT).
Wirth Rail has worked closely in the development of girder rails for new and existing tramway lines.
Wirth Rail focuses on mass transit projects and provides recommendations and expertise to engineering firms and transit authorities.

All our rails are produced in ISO 9001 rail mills in the European Union and Wirth Rail is their official / exclusive distribution channel for North and South America.
