ABOUT TEXELIS
Trains, trams, trucks and military vehicles come in just about every size
and configuration but they all have one thing in common - they need axles
to run on. And that is where we come in – our business is axles.
Our key expertise is in knowing how to expertly
convert the powerful forces generated by
vehicles, whether diesel, electric or hybrid, into
effective motion over the ground.
We specialize in heavy-duty applications and are
unique in having decades of experience in both
electric and diesel applications. We offer our own
highly competitive and advanced product range
of driven and non-driven axles with a complete
service from concept to production.
We have a flexibility and responsiveness that
comes with our size and with thousands of
products in reliable, cost efficient service for
major clients across the globe, Texelis can
provide optimum solutions for every application.
