Which projects and achievements from 2025 will carry over into the new year?
In 2025, we completed one of the largest investment programmes in our recent history, comprising three major projects across our production network: a new production line in Croatia, a concrete batching plant at our Güsen site in Germany, and the automation of the sleeper demoulding process at our plant in Poland. In 2026, our focus will be on completing these projects and bringing the new facilities fully into operation so that we can meet growing market demand and continue to supply our customers reliably. At the same time, we remain firmly committed to implementing the measures we have defined to reduce our CO₂ footprint, most notably by expanding on-site electricity generation through photovoltaic systems and optimising our concrete mix designs.
...What are the key challenges for 2026?
Thanks to EU funding programmes, demand in several of our markets is expected to increase significantly, particularly in Croatia and Poland. This means we must rapidly scale up production at our Vinkovci plant, which was completed at the end of 2025, in order to achieve our productivity targets. Remaining competitive in an increasingly dynamic market means becoming more productive without compromising on quality – and these investments, together with others, are enabling us to do exactly that.
...The global landscape is becoming increasingly shaped by disruption. How must Moll Rail position itself for the future?
We are witnessing the erosion of many of the principles that have long provided stability. International law is being disregarded, while traditional values such as reliability and a sense of responsibility are increasingly being sacrificed. In this environment, we are more determined than ever to demonstrate that we are a strong and dependable partner for long-term business relationships. That is why we continue to invest and actively embrace the opportunities created by digitalisation and automation. At the same time, we are evolving the way we communicate. Over recent years, we have built genuine substance, strengthened our international presence and clearly defined what we stand for. You will soon see this strategic direction reflected in our new brand identity.
