Railway engineering company TMH Africa has restarted operations at a 45 000 m2 rolling-stock manufacturing facility in Boksburg, Gauteng. The facility was acquired in 2018 from DCD Rolling Stock, which closed down as a result of financial challenges. The acquisition formed part of a R500-million investment drive into Africa on behalf of parent company TMH International, which, in turn, is a subsidiary of Russia’s Transmashholding Group. The facility was first developed in 1911 and is equipped to produce 60 locomotives, 150 coaches and 200 wagons yearly and is also capable of manufacturing subassemblies such as bogies, diesel engines and traction motors.
