Strong supplier partnerships built on mutual trust and open communication drive success. The collaboration between Hofmann Engineering and Alstom is a prime example, as demonstrated by the #MetroNet Project in Western Australia. This initiative is transforming the state's transport infrastructure while supporting local #manufacturing and showcasing Hofmann’s #WorldClassPrecisionEngineering. Proudly #MadeInWA
Strengthening our local supplier partnerships. At Alstom, our commitment to local manufacturing drives us to prioritise locally sourced materials, to enhance sustainability and improve the resilience of our supply chain. Our Bellevue team is proudly manufacturing the METRONET C-Series trains within Western Australia for Western Australians. For this local project, we have partnered with Perth-based supplier Hofmann Engineering Pty Ltd for the supply of locally made bogie frames for the sixth and all future electrical trainsets. Hofmann utilises advanced robotic technology at their state-of-the-art facility, located just 20 minutes from the Bellevue site, ensuring meticulous precision in each bogie frame and optimising productivity. They also employ a 'just in time' approach to delivery, enabling us to order exactly what we need with the flexibility for next-day deliveries. No more excessive inventory – just seamless coordination that enhances our operational efficiency. By collaborating with local suppliers, Alstom is proud to showcase our commitment to local manufacturing and innovation, reinforcing the value we bring to our customers through a strong local footprint and supply chain. #MobilitybyNature #TeamAlstom #MadeInWA #WorldClassPrecisionEngineering
