We want to make a significant contribution to greater safety and efficiency on roads and railways – both for passengers and for goods transport. Every day. All over the world.

Today the Knorr-Bremse Group, based in Munich, is the world’s leading manufacturer of braking systems and a leading supplier of safety-critical sub-systems for rail and commercial vehicles.

In 2023 the Group generated sales of approximately EUR 7.9 billion with its two divisions. We continue to work every single day to maintain our position as one of the most successful industrial groups in Germany.
