Matisa

Matisa Matériel Industriel S.A. is a Swiss company that manufactures rail maintenance machines and provides associated services.

The origins of Matisa can be traced back to the working practices of early twentieth century railways; traditionally many of the reoccurring maintenance tasks involved in keeping lines in a safe operating condition had been almost exclusively performed by hand and involved strenuous effort, and thus necessitated considerable continuous labour costs being incurred.

[4] To extend the company's reach and pursue international sales, numerous subsidiaries have been established in other nations, such as France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Brazil, Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom, to provide sales and after-sales support for Matisa's products while various local agents also engage in these activities around the globe.

[14][15] Starting around the turn of the century, Matisa has maintained a strategic partnership with Speno International, the latter having initially procured a new generation of rail grinding machines, designed to fulfil future requirements along with compliance to the latest certification requirements active in the European rail sector built by Matisa.

[16] Into the twenty-first century, despite a general trend of deindustrialisation and a shortage of skilled labour, Matisa has opted to retain its main manufacturing base in Switzerland to date.
