Vossloh Finalizes Acquisition of Sateba

Vossloh, the rail technology company, has completed its acquisition of the European concrete sleepers manufacturer Sateba. The transaction was finalized on October 1, expanding Vossloh's portfolio in Europe. Headquartered in Paris, Sateba is a leading producer with 1,000 employees and 19 sites across ten countries, manufacturing four million sleepers annually.

This acquisition aligns with Vossloh's strategy, adding to their expertise in North America and Australia. Vossloh's CEO, Oliver Schuster, emphasizes Sateba’s innovative approach to sustainability as a key factor in the acquisition.

The €450 million purchase from TowerBrook Capital Partners was financed mainly through debt and a capital increase. For 2025, Vossloh estimates consolidated sales, including Sateba, to reach €1.33 to €1.4 billion, with an EBIT margin of 9% before purchase price allocation effects.
