History

Dellner was founded in 1941 by Jan Dellner, who established a factory in Sweden making automatic couplers.[1]

In 2009, the company acquired UK train gangway coupler manufacturer Woodville (formerly Woodville Rubber Company).[1] In 2019, it was purchased by EQT Partners.[2]

Company Structure

The group's subsidiary are held by Dellner Invest, and as of 2015 includes Dellner (train couplers); and Dellner Components (component manufacturer); and a 'Dellner Industrial' subholding including : Dellner Dampers (dampers for railway and other applications); Dellner Brakes (brake systems for industrial applications, and shipping); Dellner Woodville (flexible couplings for rail and other industries).[3]

Railway coupling

Dellner manufactures a version of the Scharfenberg coupler, connecting vehicle, pneumatics and electronics at the same time.[4] The patented energy absorption D-BOX technology allows coupling at speeds of up to 15 kilometres per hour (9 mph) with no structural damage, and up to 36 kilometres per hour (22 mph) with deformation but with the vehicles remaining on track. The patented D-REX system provides Ethernet high speed data connection at speeds of 100 Mbit/s.
