Harsco Corporation has acquired Protran Technology, which designs and produces safety systems for transportation and industrial applications. Protran will be operated as a unit of Harsco Rail.

 

“This investment aligns perfectly with our stated strategy to further grow and diversify our Rail division,” said Harsco President and Chief Executive Officer Nick Grasberger. “We see numerous opportunities to leverage our global market presence and expand the reach of these important, life-saving products.”

Protran’s railway track worker and train operator safety systems are in use throughout North America and internationally to help protect railway personnel from potential collisions and other hazardous situations.
