The entire production process is subject to strict quality controls to verify that product geometry conforms to order specifications.

Currently, for the Italian market alone, WEGH Group has produced over three million sleepers in PRC and 5,000 switch bearers.

Level crossing devices and switching mechanisms for railway signalling and safety

The WEGH Group is active in the area of railway signalling and safety, offering consolidated know-how in the production of mechanical, electronic and electro-mechanical devices, including switching mechanisms, level crossing barriers, pedals, both line and street LED signals, and components for railway relay excitation advance and delay.

All products are manufactured in conformity with international standards and technical specifications requested by the RFI-Rete Ferroviaria Italiana, an organisation recognised internationally for its high-security standards.

WEGH Group has focused its efforts on creating products that guarantee high reliability, maximum levels of security and low running costs. For all these reasons, the RFI selected the TD96/2 as the official level crossing device for the Italian railway, which has over 5,500 units installed.
