Harsco Rail moves intelligent solutions under Protran brand

Written by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor

Rail infrastructure and maintenance company Harsco Rail plans to move all technology products and services under the Protran Technology brand, including Zeta Tech.

 

Harsco Rail provides rail consulting services, technological solutions and individual analysis plans that give railroads the ability to inspect, analyze and predict maintenance on their track. These products and services will now wrap under the Protran Technology business line, within Harsco Rail.

“Protran Technology is a leading technology provider in the railway industry. The merging of Harsco Rail’s technology products and services with these safety products will create a significant advantage for our positioning and our customers in the rail market,” said Jim Resio, senior director of Protran Technology, a Harsco Rail company.

Protran’s safety systems are an extension of Harsco Rail’s existing suite of intelligent solutions. The company says that Protran acts as a secondary line of defense against potential human error, warning equipment operators of hazards before they become accidents. Harsco Rail plans to expand on this business line with other technological products and services.

Zeta Tech, acquired by Harsco Rail in 2007, will maintain its current offices and contact numbers in Cherry Hill, N.J.
