ABOUT US

Zoppas Industries and MultiRail
full-spectrum railway expertise

Zoppas Industries operates in the rail sector through an integrated approach that combines two distinct and complementary areas of expertise.

For over sixty years, Zoppas Industries has been designing and manufacturing thermal management systems for highly complex B2B applications: home appliances, automotive, medical, aerospace, and transport. With 15 production sites across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, and over 8,000 employees, the company supports its OEM customers at every stage of the process — from co-design to industrialisation.

With the acquisition of MultiRail, Zoppas Industries expands its footprint in the rail sector by extending its offering to include catering systems and onboard equipment. Founded in 2000, MultiRail specialises in the design, engineering, production, and supply of turnkey catering systems for onboard installation, backed by extensive experience in high-speed trains.

The integration of these two competencies allows us to offer rail manufacturers and operators full-spectrum coverage: from thermal management of the vehicle infrastructure to functional onboard systems, all through a single point of contact.

WHAT WE DO

An integrated offering for the rail sector

Zoppas Industries, together with MultiRail, now covers the complete range of technical requirements for rail transport — from thermal management of the vehicle to functional onboard systems.
Thermal management systems by Zoppas Industries – co-engineered thermal platforms for every train component:

  • HVAC systems for climate control in passenger and service areas
  • Floor Heating Platform — underfloor heating with uniform heat distribution
  • Battery thermal management — protection and optimisation of electric traction systems
  • Anti-icing systems and windscreen heating — active protection under critical weather conditions
  • Anti-freeze heaters for onboard water systems and tanks

Our Solutions

Passenger Comfort

We design and develop systems for climate comfort
and the safety of all passengers.

HVAC Systems

We design and manufacture HVAC coils, achieving high standards in both performance and energy efficiency.

Standalone Heating with Ventilation for the Driver's Cab

We supply next-generation systems that fulfill multiple functions within a single product: comfort, glass defrosting, and demisting.

Floor heating

Our modular underfloor heating system has been designed to offer numerous advantages: faster installation and maintenance, a reduction in total train weight, and lower CO2 emissions. Zoppas Industries is the sole player on the market with in-depth expertise in both electric heating challenges and the structural design of composite flooring. Passengers will enjoy complete comfort: thermal, perceived, and acoustic, thanks to significant vibration reduction.
