The Clearwater team has advised Bär Bahnsicherung, the largest independent rail safety service provider in Switzerland, on its sale to Stadler Signalling, a division of SIX listed Stadler group.
The two companies will jointly drive forward the digitalisation of the rail industry and further strengthening Stadler's overall know-how in train protection and digitalization.
Bär Bahnsicherung AG has been the largest independent rail safety service provider in Switzerland for 30 years. With 4 branches and 130 employees, the company provides the entire service catalogue in the field of railroad safety. A central pillar of Bär Bahnsicherung is its newly developed electronic interlocking system in accordance with European standards (ETCS), which is already being used by many joint customers in Switzerland.
With the acquisition of Bär's team of experts and technology, Stadler's signaling division has received the necessary reinforcement to set the tone in the ongoing mammoth project, the worldwide conversion to digital signaling solutions.
