Vossloh Fastening Systems Reaches 150 Million Tension Clamp Output

CHINA, April 2026 — Vossloh’s Fastening Systems facility in Kunshan, China, has achieved a remarkable production milestone, manufacturing 150 million tension clamps since it began operations in 2007. This success underscores nearly two decades of commitment to quality and innovation in rail fastening.

As a vital part of Vossloh’s global production network, the Kunshan plant supplies high-quality fastening components across a wide range of rail applications. These include high-speed rail lines, conventional rail, heavy haul corridors, and urban transit projects. Its products meet international quality standards and are distributed in over 100 countries, showcasing Vossloh’s significant role in the global rail supply chain.

Tension clamps are essential components of rail fastening systems, engineered for exceptional durability and low maintenance in both ballasted and slab-track environments. The manufacturing process includes rigorous raw material testing, precise heat treatment, and thorough mechanical evaluations. Many of these clamps are integrated into Vossloh’s advanced MFlex® fastening systems, designed to meet the demands of modern high-speed rail.

Vossloh attributes this milestone to ongoing process improvements and substantial investments in plant development. This achievement reinforces the company’s industrial presence in key markets and aligns with global trends in rail infrastructure, where demand for reliable, high-quality components continues to grow.

For rail industry stakeholders, the production benchmark at Kunshan signifies the maturity of manufacturing capabilities and Vossloh’s ability to support long-term infrastructure projects, particularly as rail systems increasingly seek enhanced reliability and lifecycle performance from their track systems.
