All Subsidiaries, Divisions to Unite Under the Stucki Name
PITTSBURGH, Pa., Dec. 20, 2024 – A. Stucki Company, a leading rail industry supplier, today announced that all its subsidiaries and divisions will begin operating under the A. Stucki Company name effective January 1.
“Our collective journey has been driven by customer service, innovation and quality – principles that are encapsulated by the Stucki name,” said Ron Port, chief executive officer.
“All our divisions and subsidiaries will unite under one banner and be known as A. Stucki Company.”
Stucki was founded in 1911 by Arnold Stucki, a Swiss engineer who moved to America and thrived in the rail industry. His innovative side bearing design stabilized rail cars and became an industry standard.
In recent years the company has grown significantly by acquiring businesses in rail and related industries, most of which retained their names, brand identities and independent operating models.
“That approach was appropriate during a period of such rapid expansion,” said Port.
“However, our focus now is on leveraging our collective capabilities to drive growth and customer intimacy under a single, strong brand identity.”
Subsidiaries included in the rebranding are:
Alco Spring Industries, a Chicago-based manufacturer of hot wound coiled steel springs for the transit, rail, construction and locomotive industries;
American Industries, a provider of new and reconditioned railcar components and systems located in Sharon, Pa. and Jerseyville, Ill.;
American Turbocharger Technologies, a provider of technical services for locomotive, marine and stationary diesel engines based in Newport News, Va.;
Birmingham Rail, a leading supplier of new and reconditioned rail and turnout and switch material based in Birmingham, Ala., Houston, Tex. and Youngstown, Ohio;
DiMEC Rail Services, a leader in the field of railcar and mobile railcar repair, with locations in Michigan, New York and West Virginia.;
Independent Draft Gear, a provider of new and reconditioned draft gears for locomotives and rail cars based in Farrell, Pa.;
Magnus, a manufacturer of traction motor support bearings for the railroad industry based in Fremont, Neb.;
Salco Products, a manufacturer of plastic and metal products used in tank cars, hopper cars and plant process equipment based in Lemont, Ill. and Houston, Tex.;
Seco Machine, an industry leader in comprehensive contract manufacturing located in North Canton, Ohio.
Some subsidiary names will continue in product lines, trademarks, and certifications. However, all personnel and facilities will now operate under the Stucki brand.
“The strategic decision to leverage our combined strengths under a unified brand will amplify our capabilities and deliver even greater value to our customers,” said Port.
