W. Wagner, B. Weindl
Wagner Rail GmbH, a subsidiary of fire protection solutions provider specializing in rail transport, has expanded its management team. Bernhard Weindl joins Markus Müller and Peter Stahl as an additional CEO, driving the expansion and further development of Wagner Rail GmbH.
The industry specialist joins Wagner from Knorr-Bremse, where he served as Sales Director for Japan in Tokyo and most recently as Director of Global Sales Hydraulics in Munich. He succeeds Markus Kock at Wagner Rail, whose contract as Managing Director expires at the end of March 2024.
Kock, Managing Director of Wagner Germany since its founding in 2020, will refocus on further developing the core German market. Werner Wagner, founder and Managing Director of the group, looks forward to the upcoming collaboration with great anticipation. "Bernhard Weindl has many years of international experience in the rail vehicle market segment, which is so important to us. (...) Our goal in rail fire protection is also to tap into new markets as part of our consistent internationalization strategy. We have achieved significant success in this area in recent years." It is excellent "that Mr. Weindl will continue this path with us." Wagner Rail achieved a 16.7% increase in performance with its specific fire protection solutions for rail vehicles in the past fiscal year compared to the previous year.

The portfolio includes the Titanus series of aspirating smoke detectors, offering false-alarm-proof fire detection systems for the rapid detection of smoke gases. An innovative water mist system provides fire suppression in passenger areas; gas or aerosol extinguishing systems are used to protect technical areas in sealed-off sections of the train or in technical containers. The various Wagner fire protection systems are frequently combined in rail vehicles and mobile applications.
At the beginning of September, Wagner was awarded the “Employer of the Future” prize by the German Innovation Institute for Sustainability and Digitalisation (DIND).
