DBS’s UK Industrial Business achieve recertification of RISAS Accreditation

We are pleased to share that our UK Industrial business has been recertified by RISAS (the Railway Industry Supplier Approval Scheme) for another three years. The accreditation comes following months of dedicated work, which included evidencing our robust systems and processes, along with demonstrating we have the correct systems and resources in place to enable us to support our customers as a key supplier to the rail industry.

David Brown Santasalo has a long-standing global heritage in the Rail industry, which includes complete Aftermarket service support including service and repairs, reverse engineering and upgrades, field services, remote condition monitoring, drop-in replacements, asset management services and so much more. We have supplied a wide range of drivetrain solutions to subway, above ground light rail and railway projects around the world. In addition to London Underground in the UK and many projects around Europe, our robust, reliable EMU transmissions are in operation on rail networks in Australia, Chile, China, Korea and Malaysia.

Adam Reynolds, General Manager – UK Industrial said, “The whole UK Industrial team have worked together and put in a lot of hard work to achieve this goal. This is the first accreditation that the team have received since the move to our new facility at Prospect Works in Huddersfield and we are delighted with the result.”

Why is RISAS so vital to Rail Industry Suppliers?

RISAS ensures key suppliers to the industry can become recognised as best-in-class at delivering the most challenging and high-risk products and services. A RISAS certificate is evidence that an independent, robust, rigorous, and transparent assessment of the supplier has been carried out by experts. It ensures that suppliers of critical products have the appropriate systems, processes, competence, resources, facilities, and procedures to meet the standards you expect.
