Apex Rail Automation was established in November 2020 with the sale of Vossloh Signaling USA, Inc. (VSIG) from Vossloh AG. Apex is headquartered in Grass Valley, California.
In 2014, VSIG was formed with the merger of Global Rail Systems (GRS) and J Manufacturing, Inc. (JMI) under the parent company Vossloh AG:
- JMI was based in California and primarily focused on electro-mechanical switch machines, rods, and layouts. JMI was acquired by Vossloh AG in 2011.
- GRS was based in Texas and primarily focused on railyard automation technologies and electronics. GRS was acquired by Vossloh AG in two separate transactions with an investment in 2009 and the complete acquisition in 2013.
Apex Rail Automation is the industry leader providing turnkey solutions for both railyard and mainline track. Our origins in the merger of these two businesses combined deliver state-of-the-art engineering and high-quality manufacturing.
