This synergy enables full coverage of the value chain, from design to delivery, ensuring seamless integration, premium quality, and long-term reliability. The offering combines EMS (Electronic Manufacturing Services) and ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) to deliver robust, efficient, and high-performance solutions tailored to the demanding requirements of the railway sector.
• A comprehensive and distinctive offering: AGÔN Railway becomes a single point of entry for railway customers, offering: Certified embedded products (EN 50155, ERTMS, etc.), components and solutions for train control and command (TCMS, ETCS, CBTC, traction), engineering, testing, maintenance, and obsolescence management services, full product lifecycle management, including repair of electronic boards and equipment.
• A clear objective: to become a leading player in Europe. With AGÔN Railway, AGÔN Electronics aims to structure and enhance its railway expertise, improve commercial and technical efficiency, and position itself as a key partner for integrators, manufacturers, and railway operators, both in France and internationally.
Bruno Picquart, CEO of AGÔN Electronics, shares: “The formalization of the Agôn Railway Branch is fully in line with our strategy to become a European leader in electronics for constrained environments. We are thus strengthening our value proposition for our customers, bringing together the expertise of Leroy Automation and Mios Elettronica, and giving our teams the means to accelerate our development.”
David Vayssié, CEO of LEROY Automation, added: “The teams at Leroy Automation and Mios Elettronica, brought together under Agôn Railway, share a passion for the railway industry and an electronics culture based on expertise. The approaches to customer needs developed over the years have proven to be extremely complementary, enabling them to respond in a differentiated manner to the needs of rolling stock manufacturers, integrators, and operators.”
Massimo Passarella, CEO of MIOS Elettronica, concluded: “Synergy is a very common word in business but sometimes is completely misused, referring very often to marketing announcements rather than indicating the essence of an organization. This is not the case of Agôn Railway. Leroy Automation and MIOS Elettronica have an unmatched level of affinity with no critical overlaps. This makes the synergical integration into Agôn Railway very natural and effective. Together we have the ambition, the resources and the competences to take a leading role in the Railway market.”
