electrical connection solutions on track, including products that have been standards in the rail industry for generations.

As part of nVent, ERICO is one of several product brands that have a well–established legacy in rail, including nVent ERIFLEX, HOFFMAN, SCHROFF and RAYCHEM. Their trusted products comprise the nVent Rail and Transit portfolio, serving global railways with innovative solutions that connect and protect critical network infrastructure.

nVent manufactures rail products in each major region throughout the world, including North American, South America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific. Our products are designed to meet all relevant railway standards and maintain key certifications (in standards such as AREMA and CENELEC) to ensure optimal performance and safety while in service. With a broad range of innovative electrical solutions, nVent rail products are used in applications throughout the railway network, including on track, trackside signaling infrastructure, onboard systems and network structures.
