Following the storms in Valais and Spain, the rail vehicle manufacturer Stadler is gradually working its way back to normality. At the Altenrhein plant, short-time work is coming to an end, the Valais supplier Constellium has ramped up production again, and all employees at the Spanish plant near Valencia are back at work. However, the consequences of the outages will be felt for some time to come, including by Stadler customers.
