Rail asset specialist MadePartners and Brazilian engineers Sysfer form strategic alliance
A new partnership between infrastructure asset experts MadePartners (MADE) and Brazil’s rail engineering leader Sysfer is set to transform rollingstock procurement across Latin America, delivering innovative, high-impact solutions to meet growing demand for mission-critical rail infrastructure.
MADE Founder and CEO Paul Belcher said the alliance reflects a strong, shared commitment to helping Brazilian rail sector clients achieve better procurement outcomes through closer supplier collaboration.
“MADE has developed a suite of excellent services and quality resources for organisations looking to obtain complex rail assets from China,” he says. “Brazilian engineers, like Sysfer, want expert onsite support in Asia to complement their teams so they can build greater technical knowledge, improve asset performance and boost return on client investment.
That’s where MADE comes in.”
Sysfer CEO, Peter Mirow, says that the relationship between the two infrastructure leaders ‘will bring a whole new approach to rollingstock procurement for the high- quality Brazilian rail sector.’
“As an example, the proactive technical compliance MADE offers sits hand in glove with the Sysfer offering,” he says. “MADE collects and utilises compliance data to ensure better outcomes for rollingstock specification, operation and post-deployment disposal. We will now incorporate their range of skills into our offering.”
The MADE/Sysfer alliance will involve both parties at respective stages of procurement from design to manufacture, testing, assurance, delivery and management of rollingstock such as rail passenger cars, locomotives and wagons.
MADE has a global reputation in procuring complex assets for the rail, resources, energy and construction sectors that are predominantly manufactured in Asian countries such as China, but their reach is global and includes Australia, New Zealand, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, USA, Canada, Brazil, South Africa, Germany, Italy and the Middle East.
“Our international experience, sector experts, quality systems and local knowledge are what Sysfer will now be able to tap into,” adds MADE’s Paul Belcher.
“We share many common objectives and look forward to working together to help accelerate the Brazilian rail sector through a dynamic and collaborative approach.”
