INNOVATION AND EFFICIENCY TO CONTRIBUTE
TO MORE SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT

Our solutions for the electrification of the rail sector are the result of the innovation and technology developed by La Farga, attaining greater performance and wear resistance compared to a conventional catenary.

Our complete catalogue of products made from high purity copper and its alloys of tin, silver, and magnesium are the best solutions for conventional lines, metro, tram and high-speed lines.

We offer the entire range of rail products that the market needs: contact wire, connection cable, suspension cable, feeder cable and droppers.

Following our drive to innovate and be pioneers, and with our commitment to a better world by contributing to the creation of value with a positive impact, we have presented the market with 100% recycled copper solutions and with the smallest carbon footprint, an innovation that ensures the highest standards of quality and efficiency.

Thanks to our presence in over 44 countries and our ability to internationalize, we can continue to promote the circular model in the international rail sector, offering the reintroduction of copper into the system. Thus, copper is given a new life, while maintaining all the qualities and properties of copper material at the end of its useful life.
