Loram Maintenance Revenue and Competitors

Since 1954, Loram Maintenance of Way, Inc. has been providing railroad maintenance equipment and services of exceptionally high standards of quality and performance. We know that as we perform our three specialties--rail grinding, ballast cleaning and ditching--and perform them better than anybody else, we can help railroads extend the life of their assets. That means a better bottom line for everyone--not just for the railroads, but for Loram, too. \"Extending railroad asset life means a better bottom line--for the railroads and Loram.\"\"One customer reported an increase in rail life, measured in total accumulated gross tons over a ten-year study period, of approximately 25% on tangent track, and from 25% to more than 100% on curves.\"\"Railroads today are increasingly being driven by the bottom-line. Our customers want to extend the life of their assets, and that\'s where we fit in.\"\"We are totally confident of our capabilities, but realize that demonstration is the key to market acceptance in new areas.\"\"We look at many of our supplier relationships as partnerships. It\'s in our best interest to help them meet our needs.\"
