Mersen announces new commercial successes in the rail sector

Paris, 04 June 2015 - Mersen (Euronext FR0000039620 - MRN), global expert in electrical specialties and graphite-based materials, announces a series of equipment orders valued at close to €2.5 million for major international rail projects. Deliveries will be made until 2017.
These projects are the result of our long-standing and unique positioning with rail equipment manufacturers, including AnsaldoBreda for the Honolulu rail transit project in the United States, and Alstom for the Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) and Kochi (India) metros, and new suburban trains in South Africa.
Mersen's global presence is a distinct competitive advantage. We have the ability to produce locally where required by national regulations through our industrial presence on the ground, in particular in South Africa, the United States and India. Project development takes place in one of our expertise centres in Saint- Bonnet-de-Mure (Lyon, France).
Our broad range of expertise extends from power supply to motors to power distribution. Key products for the sector include 3rd rail current collectors, isolating switches and fuse boxes.

"These contracts demonstrate renewed confidence in Mersen by our long-standing partners, as well as the strength of our global organization to guarantee the highest level of support to our customers through our assembly and quality control capabilities throughout the world," said Gilles Boisseau, Group Vice President, Electrical Protection.
