Strengthening Global Rail business strategy & product portfolio

We are delighted to announce that Kineco Group has completed the acquisition of TRB Lightweight Structures, based in Huntingdon, UK, a company with over 70 years of expertise in lightweight and sustainable solutions for the mobility sector and a trusted supplier to leading rolling stock manufacturers across U.K, Europe and Asia.

This acquisition marks a significant milestone for 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐨 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐥, our flagship rail business, and reinforces our strategy to become a global leader in turnkey rail interior systems. After our maiden acquisition in December 2024 of Semvac A/S Denmark–a prominent rail sanitation systems supplier to the global rolling stock industry, this marks another step in consolidating our multiple rail brands under the 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐨 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐥 umbrella. TRB brings extensive engineering and manufacturing capabilities in detrainment doors, internal and external passenger door leaves, driver cab end wall and fire doors, aluminum honeycomb flooring and partitions, and storage cabinets—further expanding our global rail portfolio.

Mr. 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐤𝐡𝐚𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐢, Chairman & Managing Director of Kineco Group, commented: “The acquisition of TRB Lightweight Structures is aligned specifically to the long-term strategic roadmap of our rail-focused brand—Kineco Global Rail. TRB’s legacy and deep expertise in lightweight rail interiors make it a perfect strategic fit. Importantly, both TRB and Semvac combined will now be able to ride on the back of Kineco Global Rail’s large engineering and manufacturing infrastructure in Goa, India, which is entirely dedicated to the rail interiors market. This synergy will help us achieve scale, competitiveness, and customer reach across global markets. I wholeheartedly welcome the TRB team into the Kineco family.”

Mr. Paul Colquitt, Managing Director of TRB Lightweight Structures Ltd., added: “This new chapter with Kineco allows us to focus our energy and resources on the rail sector, where our expertise and heritage are strongest. Together, we will build on TRB’s reputation for quality and innovation to deliver even greater value to our customers worldwide.”
