Tatravagónka Poprad

Tatravagónka in Poprad is an absolute European institution in the field of railway engineering and today stands as the undisputed market leader in the production of freight wagons and bogies. The company's history began in 1922, and since then, the plant has steadily expanded its production capacities and technical know-how. The massive factory complex near the High Tatras is a hub of highly specialized mechanical engineering, where state-of-the-art wagons designed for intermodal transport, as well as for carrying automobiles, chemicals, and heavy cargo, are designed and built. Tatravagónka supplies nearly all the major state-owned and private railway companies across Europe. With over 2,000 employees at its main site and massive investments in research, development, and automation (such as the deployment of cutting-edge welding robots), the company is not only the industrial heart of the city of Poprad but also a shining flagship of the entire Slovak heavy industry.
