r2p expands into Switzerland

As a part of the global growth plan r2p opens a subsidiary in Zurich, Switzerland, and engages experienced industry experts. The opening of the new subsidiary goes in line with the overall growth strategy. r2p is having a strong presence in Switzerland and for the company this is a strategically important market to be active in.

Patrick Hess and Beat Obrist, who are joining the Swiss r2p office, both have more than 15 years of industry experience and have excellent relations in the rail market. The two new colleagues strengthen the inhouse capability and knowledge level through an outstanding industry expertise within the field of Passenger Information Systems (PIS).

“With the Swiss subsidiary we move closer to our existing customers in Switzerland and the experienced staff will help us to offer even better customer support and increased scope of supply – in addition to our state of the art CCTV solutions we also provide world class PA and PIS systems”, states Flemming Kaer, r2p’s Director of Sales and Marketing.

The rapidly growing r2p Group – headquartered in Flensburg, Germany – operates internationally in 45 countries with subsidiaries in Denmark, Brazil, England and the new office in Switzerland. With a silent partnership in Taiwan, a sales office in the Czech Republic, and local manufacturing in India for the Indian market, r2p takes pride in being a truly global company.

As a market leader, r2p has great passion and energy for developing and distributing software and hardware for rail and road vehicles, mobile video surveillance, PIS, PA, APC and telemetric solutions. Our experienced Swedish investor Alder AB, with an investment volume of more than €110 million, provides us with on-going support for our mission.
