Alstom

Alstom is a French multinational company that manufactures rolling stock, signalling systems and infrastructure for the rail transport sector. The company is headquartered in Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, near Paris, and operates in more than 60 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Alstom is listed on the Euronext Paris stock exchange and is a constituent of the CAC 40 index. The company's product portfolio includes high-speed trains, metros, trams, electric buses, signalling and digital mobility solutions, as well as rail infrastructure and maintenance services. Alstom holds a significant position in the global rail market, competing with companies such as Siemens Mobility, CRRC and Bombardier Transportation (which Alstom acquired in 2021). The company employs about 80 000 people worldwide and generates annual revenue of approximately €16-billion to €17-billion. Major subsidiaries and brands include Bombardier Transportation, Coradia, Avelia and Citadis. Alstom also has a presence in the power generation sector through its historical involvement in energy infrastructure, though it sold its power and grid businesses to General Electric in 2015. The company was founded in 1928 and has since grown through numerous mergers and acquisitions to become one of the world's leading rail transport manufacturers.
