Presentation
The successor to the National Freight Cars Factory (Fbrica Nacional de Vages - FNV), founded in 1943,
AmstedMaxion was set up at the start of the new Millennium, with an association between Amsted Industries,
a North American manufacturer of components with firm activities in the railway, steel casting and services and
Brazilian company Iochpe-Maxion, the largest national producer of wheels and chassis for commercial vehicles, with
products sold in more than 40 countries.
After six decades of activities, AmstedMaxion appears as one of the main references, within Latin America, when
it comes to the development and production of Freight Cars in aluminum and steel, as well as wheels in cast steel,
trucks, wheelsets and also coupler system, as well as providing services of repair, adaptation and modernization of
Freight Cars and components. As a pioneer, the company serves all railways, and also users thereof, both in Brazil
and abroad, including a company for the lease of Freight Cars.
In its steel foundry, steel parts are produced for application to machines and equipment for civil construction, mining
and railway industries.
For all this, it is a company which is present in the daily lives of millions of people. Indeed, because that product
which has just arrived at your place of abode is sure to have passed along some route created by AmstedMaxion.
