Sung Shin Rolling Stock Technology, also stylized as Sung Shin RST, is a South Korean rolling stock and equipment manufacturing company.[1]
History
The company was founded in 1990 as Sung Shin Industrial Company. In 1994, the company changed its name to Sung Shin Industrial Company, Limited and again in 2009 in its current one, to indicate its focus on railway systems such as bogies, locomotives, coaches, and systems integrator in the international stage.[2] The company's rolling stocks were exported to the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, and South America.[3]
In October 2022, after the company signed a contract worth a total of $70 million to export 81 units, including 59 semi-high-speed trains and 22 narrow-gauge passenger trains, to Tanzania Railways from 2021 to 2022, Tanzanian Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa visited Sungshin RST's 2nd Mungyeong Plant.[4]
