We are m2

The m2 railway group

We are active in the railway infrastructure sector in Italy and abroad

m2 was formally established on 30 January 2004, and started business operations on 1 June 2004. We operate in the railway infrastructure maintenance sector, and our clientele consists exclusively of railway companies and the railway itself (Rete Ferroviaria Italiana SpA).
The company’s legal and administrative headquarters is located in La Valle, within the Province of Bolzano. Our service company was the first one in Italy to offer protection of railway worksites through automated worksite security systems. We operate throughout the country, providing protection for railway worksites, and have succeeded in becoming the leading company within the sector at the national level.

After the first few years, having acquired so much experience in the field, m2 noticed that there was a great need for human resources in the railway and railway-equipment maintenance sector. As a result, m2 began to diversify its services, offering shipping companies their own technicians for the maintenance, repair, calibration and operation of machinery for railway maintenance. This sector has opened up various opportunities to m2 throughout Europe and the world. This was how a second area of business was born for m2: Technology.

Our philosophy is also to try and stay cutting edge. Innovation is critical, and has now become the obligation of every business, whether railway or otherwise. Our group is thus always looking for new opportunities.

From South Tyrol around the globe

The company’s legal and administrative headquarters is located in La Valle, in the province of Bolzano, a small town in the heart of the Dolomites near the Austrian border. This proximity to other European countries has had a positive influence on the company’s expansion and internationalization.
