The event brings together customers and prospects, offering a unique opportunity to discover the capabilities of the new workshop, engage with Akiem’s teams, and explore tailored maintenance solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of Scandinavian rail operators.

Located in the heart of Sweden’s railway network, the Borlänge workshop is ideally positioned to serve operators across Sweden and Norway, including corridor traffic towards Germany and Denmark. The workshop, spanning 600sqm, features office space and two pits. It is equipped for preventive and corrective maintenance, with lifting jacks and cranes enabling in-house execution of complex operations — delivering both cost efficiency and faster turnaround times.

This facility is operated by Akiem Maintenance & Services (AMS) and reflects Akiem’s long-standing presence in Sweden, where the company has been active for 15 years with a dedicated local team of 30 professionals. “The Borlänge site was initially developed to diversify maintenance solutions beyond our well-established presence in Hallsberg and now serves as a cornerstone for expanding Akiem’s maintenance offering in the region” said Volker Wallrodt, Managing Director of AMS.

By establishing this site, Akiem reinforces its ambition to:

• Enhance quality and safety through localized, high-performance maintenance capabilities.
• Increase deliverability and operational availability for its customers.
• Foster proximity and responsiveness, with teams working hand-in-hand with operators to deliver customized traction solutions.

The inauguration will also serve as a platform for networking and dialogue, as Akiem continues to invest in the Scandinavian market to support operators facing growing demands for modern, reliable locomotives.
