EWI Launches Passenger Rail Manufacturing Center

Columbus-based EWI has announced the launch of a Passenger Rail Manufacturing Center in response to data that predicts passenger rail service will experience strong national and international growth in the coming decades.  This first-of-its-kind center will develop and strengthen manufacturing supply chains for the rail and rolling stock industries, improve railroad product affordability and develop technical innovations that will allow railroad manufacturers to collaborate effectively with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).  This effort is expected to create numerous manufacturing job opportunities at the state and national levels.

Launched by a start-up grant from the Ohio Department of Development (ODOD), the Passenger Rail Manufacturing Center intends to assist Ohio manufacturers in securing a leading share of the emerging passenger rail market.
