Rifer is based in Milan, very close to the Swiss border, at an important rail and intermodal transport hub, which enables the company to offer products and services to Central European countries. It has a workforce of more than 60 people and an annual turnover close to 10 million euros.
CAF Miira has also acquired a minority shareholding in Cosmef WM, a company that is part of the same group as Rifer and of a similar size, dedicated to heavy maintenance work on railcars. This ensures that full advantage is taken of the synergies between both companies and that the railcar maintenance business also remains within the CAF Group's orbit.
