A New Powerhouse in Rail Tech: AGÔN Electronics Launches Cutting-Edge Railway Business Unit
T oulouse, France – AGÔN Electronics, the fast-growing European group known for its high-reliability and high-performance embedded electronic systems, has just launched a game-changing new business unit: AGÔN Railway. Positioned as a hub of excellence for on-board train electronics in the railway sector, this new unit leverages the combined firepower of two industry champions — LEROY Automation (France) and MIOS Elettronica (Italy) — to deliver end-to-end rugged, fail-safe and secure electronic solutions for the railways of tomorrow.
At a time when the global railway sector is undergoing a digital and safety-driven transformation, AGÔN Railway steps in as a “one-stop shop” for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), operators, and integrators looking for next-generation solutions in train control and monitoring, secure networks & communications, crash-protected event recorders, and beyond.
AGÔN Railway: A New Hub of Engineering Excellence
AGÔN Railway combines :
- LEROY Automation: 40+years of expertise in Train Control and Management Systems (TCMS), Remote I/O Modules, and safety electronics (SIL2), with over 150,000 systems deployed worldwide operating in all types of trains from light rail vehicles, metro cars, intercity and regional trains as well as high-speed trains and heavy locomotives;
- MIOS Elettronica: Leading the way in Juridical Recorder Units (JRUs), Crash-Protected Memory devices (CPM), Train Network Systems and Communications since 2011.
From SNCF’s TGV and driverless metros in China to commuter trains in South Africa and freight locomotives in India, AGÔN’s technologies are shaping rail transport worldwide transiting several thousands of passengers and merchandises daily without compromising safety and fleet availability.
A European Footprint with Global Reach
Though deeply rooted in Europe — with most operations based in France and Italy — AGÔN Railway solutions are already embedded in transport networks across all five continents. The group’s approach combines local engineering precision with global scalability, offering partners seamless support from concept to lifecycle management and taking care of environmental constraints and optimizing carbon footprint.
More Than Products: Dedicated Engineering Services, System Integration, MRO & Product Lifecycle Management
AGÔN Railway goes beyond the supply of hardware components. As a full-service partner, the business unit provides:
- Product customization and system integration services ;
- Electronic parts and component-level engineering expertise ;
- Bespoke test bench development and deployment ;
- Full maintenance repair and overhauls (MRO) capabilities ;
- Obsolescence and product life-cycle management.
In a sector where reliability and safety are non-negotiable, AGÔN Railway does not offer just components — but confidence through long-term project deployments, strategic accompaniment and customer engagement.
A Strategic Move with Big Implications
As rail networks worldwide expand and modernize, the need for modular, certifiable, and connected electronic systems has never been greater. AGÔN Railway’s launch signals a major leap forward in consolidating European excellence under a single industrial umbrella.
AGÔN Electronics is no longer consortia of individual companies — it’s a high-tech ecosystem, and AGÔN Railway is its most ambitious innovation yet.
