Knorr-Bremse agreed on 28 July 2026 to sell Merak, its worldwide business in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems for trains, to OpenGate Capital; the group is sharpening its portfolio under its BOOST programme and expects a tailwind for the EBIT margin of its Rail division and of the group as a whole. Merak, headquartered in Getafe near Madrid, is expected to generate about EUR 360 million in revenue in 2026; all of its business activities and some 1,500 employees, concentrated in Europe with sites in North America, China and Australia, are to transfer. The price is not disclosed, and closing, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals, is expected at the end of 2026.

Fortescue Metals Group, a mining group, has commissioned Knorr-Bremse to modernise and digitalise its rail network in Western Australia, several hundred kilometres long, over which iron ore travels from the mines to the coastal ports. The programme runs in stages until mid-2027: the existing ITCS train control system is upgraded and key infrastructure components are moved to the ElectroLogIXS platform of the group unit KB Signaling (headquartered in the USA), so that ore trains weighing up to 5,000 t receive their driving parameters remotely in real time instead of pulling into sidings to adjust them. Further technology (EC6 digital track circuit, Rail TempEst rail temperature measurement) is also being examined; the report gives no contract value, and the date is the day of the report.

In mid-February 2026 Knorr-Bremse broke ground on a future campus in Chennai, with up to EUR 200 million of investment. From the end of 2027 plants are to build door systems for rail vehicles and brake components for commercial vehicles; in the long term up to 3,500 jobs will be created alongside the Pune and Palwal sites. The date is the publication date, as the article gives no exact groundbreaking day (LOK Report, 13 Feb 2026) — Source: https://www.lok-report.de/news/uebersee/65116-indien-knorr-bremse-startet-zukunftscampus-in-chennai-und-staerkt-innovation-wachstum-und-effizienz.html

Knorr-Bremse has completed the acquisition of the Duagon Group of Dietikon, Switzerland, a developer of embedded electronics, hardware and software for the rail sector with about 1,000 specialists. The Rail Division thereby strengthens its know-how in electronics and signalling, above all for its Selectron (control and communication) and KB Signaling businesses. Duagon grew by about 15% a year on average in 2022–2025; for 2026 Knorr-Bremse targets an operating margin (EBIT) of about 16% before integration costs there and expects annual synergies of EUR 5–10 million from 2028; Selectron and Duagon together generate about EUR 250 million in revenue a year. The report gives neither a purchase price nor the closing date, so the date of the report is used.

Knorr-Bremse officially opened its modernised Mödling site on 13 October 2025. Over the five years since the project began, about EUR 30 million went into new or thermally refurbished buildings, a rooftop solar array and more automation, without any halt to production. The plant, with about 850 employees, is the group's global lead plant for rail brakes, sanding and wiper systems and brake-control components; the report names no new jobs and stresses safeguarding existing ones.
