DGAP-News: Grammer AG / Key word(s): Product Launch Grammer AG: Grammer Invests in Railway Segment - New Modular Seating Concept to Be Presented at Innotrans 17.09.2014 / 08:53 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Grammer Invests in Railway Segment - New Modular Seating Concept to Be Presented at Innotrans Amberg / September 17, 2014 - At Innotrans 2014, the major international transportation trade show, Grammer will present newly developed platform-based seating systems, called R3000 and H3000, for regional and high-speed trains. Besides passenger seats, Grammer will also exhibit a new range of train driver seats. The new seat concepts are the result of the Grammer Group's decision to actively tap growth opportunities in the market for rail seats by introducing new products. The R3000 platform system combines high functionality with great adaptability, thanks to its modular design. It has rapidly become a sales hit, validating the company's strategic decision to continue investing in product development for the rail market. The first sales were closed in the first half of 2014 directly after the system's market launch. The new rail seat platform is manufactured by Grammer Railway Interior GmbH. This subsidiary of the Grammer Group has added it to its existing portfolio of passenger and driver seats for local, regional and high-speed trains. "The new system excels by complying with the latest European and British safety standards, but that's not all. The platform can also be very flexibly adapted to meet special customer wishes - by modifying the design of the headrest, changing the backrest type, or adding any of a long list of possible features. The R3000 is a highly functional, extremely variable all-round system," says Daniel Gradl, Managing Director of Grammer Railway Interior GmbH.
