Naples, February 5, 2026 – Alstom, a global leader in sustainable mobility, has officially opened its new Naples Hub in Italy. This strategic move is set to significantly bolster the company’s ongoing railway infrastructure modernization projects within the Campania Region and cultivate local talent.
Alstom’s Strategic Expansion in Italy
The new facility, situated in the Centro Direzionale business district of Naples, is envisioned as a cornerstone for Alstom’s expansion efforts across Italy. The company anticipates that the Naples Hub will enhance operational efficiency and improve customer service through increased vertical collaboration among project teams. The hub features a cabin layout designed for 50 workstations, configured to promote inter-unit operational communication and collaboration.
Improved Employee Commuting and Workforce Development
A direct benefit of the new Alstom Naples Hub is the expected improvement in employee commuting, which will help reduce travel times and support the company’s employee commuting relief initiatives. This consolidation of employee commuting relief efforts into a single facility simultaneously extends Alstom’s operational footprint in Italy and the Campania Region.
The opening of this hub underscores Alstom’s commitment to building a sustainable workforce in Campania, with a strong focus on recruiting from the local talent pool. This initiative is expected to stimulate the local economy and enrich the railway industry’s skilled talent pool, offering numerous career opportunities.
Facilitating Regional Mobility Through Key Rail Initiatives
The Alstom Naples Hub will play a pivotal role in the company’s involvement in crucial railway infrastructure projects in Campania. Notably, the hub will support the A168 EAV project, which focuses on deploying a new signaling system equipped with ACCM1 and ERTMS components. This project aims to upgrade and modernize signaling along the Vesuvian lines, encompassing a total of 140 kilometers of railway in the region.
Beyond signaling upgrades, the project includes significant enhancements to substations and electric traction systems, ensuring efficient and dependable services. Alstom is also actively involved with ERTMS AQ2 systems, an advanced level of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) that integrates sophisticated signaling and telecom systems. These systems are vital for increasing the safety and efficiency of rail networks and providing the latest technology to the region’s rail services.
Alstom’s Role in Regional Rail Infrastructure Maintenance
The Naples hub will also be instrumental in supporting Alstom’s extensive network of regional depots and maintenance facilities in Campania. Alstom operates several depots in Naples, including Naples Campi Flegrei and Naples Gianturco, which are dedicated to the maintenance of regional trains and signaling systems. These depots are crucial for the upkeep of the rail network, ensuring safe and smooth train operations across the region.
Additionally, Alstom’s Nola (NA) location is responsible for the maintenance of rolling stock for Italo, Italy’s high-speed rail operator. This demonstrates Alstom’s comprehensive capability to support both high-speed and regional rail service maintenance, with Nola specifically contributing to the growing demand for high-speed rail in Italy.
Empowering Campania’s Workforce and Regional Capabilities
With a strong emphasis on recruitment and the development of regional talent, Alstom is dedicated to empowering the Campania workforce as its presence in the area continues to expand. The new Naples hub is central to Alstom’s efforts to attract and retain skilled regional talent, enabling them to effectively implement and deliver major railway programs.
Through continuous investment in its employees, Alstom is fostering a highly capable and innovative workforce within the railway industry. This focus on talent development is essential for Alstom to maintain and further advance railway and infrastructure technologies, while simultaneously contributing to the economic growth of Campania.
