Switch technology for modern rail infrastructure
We occupy a leading position in the field of railway infrastructure and railway engineering with our product solutions. Our switch rollers provide maximum reliability with every point changeover, while simultaneously reducing the amount of maintenance that is required. With the standardised locks which we have developed for switch rollers and frogs, we are setting new standards for point systems. Our forged slide chair and check rail base plates are also characterised by their long service life. These key components make a lasting contribution to the safe and low-maintenance operation of the points. Take advantage of our extensive expertise, and get tailored solutions for your railway project.
This is our commitment to consistent quality standards, environmental protection and energy efficiency.

Railway infrastructure encompasses tracks, switches, locking systems, signalling and control centres – forming the backbone of any railway network. Operators, including infrastructure managers such as Network Rail, are responsible for ensuring safe operation, regular maintenance, and seamless collaboration with suppliers like CDP Railsystems to support an efficient and resilient train network.
These occur at critical touchpoints where the railway network and rolling stock interact – for example at switches, frogs, and transition zones. High-performance, well-aligned components and intelligent digital integration are essential to ensure operational safety and vehicle efficiency across the train network.
Modernisation must comply with technical standards, environmental and safety regulations, and legal frameworks (e.g. TSI). At the same time, new components and digital tools must integrate seamlessly into existing systems – from switches to locking mechanisms.
Locking systems such as standard locks or EVZ units ensure the mechanical securing of points. They are crucial for smooth operation and reduced maintenance costs. Standardisation also increases reliability and helps operators save resources.
Repairs are typically carried out by specialised personnel who maintain or replace components like locks, frogs, or slide chairs. Responsibility usually lies with the operators or contracted maintenance companies, who manage the work and rely on appropriate tools and technical support.
