Our commitment

Alstom has deep roots in Spanish industrial and technological history. We could go back 150 years in time to find the origins of Alstom in Spain. Since then, Alstom has reached many milestones with a long history of innovation and commitment to industrial development and sustainable mobility.

Currently Alstom in Spain employs around 2,000 people in 18 work sites,  making it the second largest Spanish employer in the sector. The company has a rolling stock manufacturing site and 4 innovation centres where it runs R&D programmes for rolling stock, signalling, security and services. The technological laboratory located in Madrid has become a benchmark for signalling, security  and Digital Mobility projects throughout the world.

Alstom in  Spain is also clearly committed to international expansion and exports. Over 50% of its business is dedicated to projects abroad, including the worldwide centres of excellence dedicated to signaling, security, and Digital Mobility.

Thanks to technical know-how, industrial capacity and international structure, Alstom is also a strategic partner for major Spanish companies in their drive for internationalizatio. Some of these world-wide projects include Panama Metro with FCC, the Guadalajara metro with OHL, Sydney tramway with Acciona, the Ottawa light railway with ACS, tramways in Algeria with Isolux and the Riyadh metro with FCC. 

Alstom is also the only company in Spain with local industrial and technological presence in all the activities related to railway transport: manufacturing, signaling, services, infrastructure and smart mobility.
