Acquisition of Carly Railcar Components. FreightCar America acquired Carly Railcar Components, LLC (CRC), a family-owned railcar component distributor founded in 1995. Carly operates warehouse facilities in Orange, Texas, and Irwin, Pennsylvania, supplying AAR M-1003 approved original equipment manufacturer (OEM) railcar components to repair shops, railroads, private car owners, and industrial customers. The company also operates a core exchange program for reconditioned parts. The purchase price was not disclosed.
Increased Scale and a Complementary Product Portfolio. The transaction strengthens RAIL’s aftermarket distribution business with a focus on running repair components, those parts that are frequently replaced to keep the railcar operational. This product category complements RAIL’s core offerings and product mix. RAIL customers will benefit from a larger catalog of ready-to-ship railcar components. The acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive, and RAIL expects to realize meaningful operational improvements across the combined network, including increased purchasing power with OEMs.
