Eurovia boosts its rail infrastructure positions in Canada

RUEIL-MALMAISON, France, 3 Feb. 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - Eurovia has finalised the acquisition of Canadian rail works contractor Rail Cantech.

Operating primarily in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, Rail Cantech provides engineering, construction and maintenance services for national railway networks, urban transport networks and industrial sidings.

Founded in 1989, Rail Cantech generated revenue of about C$30 million in 2015 (€21 million) and currently employs about 200 people.

This acquisition adds to Eurovia's range of services in Canada and increases its industrial capacity in a country where rail activity is growing rapidly. Rail Cantech will join ETF, the Eurovia subsidiary specialising in rail works.

This new acquisition illustrates its expansion strategy both in geographical areas with strong growth potential and in the rail sector.  In Canada, Eurovia generated revenue of over C$700 million in 2014 (about €480 million).
