The creation of a new industrial hub in the field of railway rolling stock and integrated railway systems is being launched by ONEX Group, through its new subsidiary ONEX Rolling Stock & Integrated Systems (ONEX RSIS), based in Elefsina. The project was presented at a special event at the Elefsis Shipyards and is linked to the strategic exploitation of the Group's existing heavy industrial infrastructure, as well as to the general effort to restore high value-added production activities in Greece.ONEX RSIS is accompanied by an investment programme exceeding 20 million euros over a two-year period, with part of the funds already being directed within the coming months. The start of production activity is scheduled for 2026, while the plan foresees the creation of at least 100 new jobs, with an emphasis on technical and mechanical specialties. At the same time, the company is also considering the acquisition of a telecommunications company, a move that will strengthen the railway digital and telecommunications systems segment.ONEX RSIS has as its main objective the creation of a centre for the production, assembly, maintenance and upgrading of rolling stock and integrated railway systems, utilising the industrial ecosystem of Elefsis. The infrastructure includes more than 57,000 sq.m. of covered areas and extensive available areas, with capabilities for heavy metal construction, precision welding, sandblasting and waterjetting, state-of-the-art industrial paints, final vehicle assembly, equipment installation, load and leak testing, as well as quality control and final inspection.
