Switzerland-based Stadler is acquiring German company BBR Verkehrstechnik GmbH (BBR) and its group firms, which will become part of its new signalling division.

This deal, which builds up on the company’s recent purchase of BÄR Bahnsicherung from Fehraltorf, is said to complement its increasing range of signalling technology products.

As part of the deal, around 270 BBR employees will join Stadler, increasing the latter’s staff strength to over 500.

On 1 January 2022, Stadler’s entire signalling portfolio will be placed in a newly formed division managed by Marc Trippel, formerly the company’s chief of staff.

As a global firm, BBR aims to support digitalisation of the international railway infrastructure.
