Despite the current volatility, Ermewa remains unwavering in its commitment to growth and sustainability. The company plans to augment its fleet by acquiring at least 3,000 newly built wagons annually until 2031, aiming for a total of 60,000. This ambitious goal stands firm even in the face of the manufacturing industry's limitations, including hampered production capacity and surging energy costs, and underscores Ermewa's prominent role within the intermodal market and the construction industry.

Emphasizing its dedication to environmental stewardship, Ermewa is keen on forging partnerships that contribute to long-term carbon neutrality. For instance, it collaborates with ArcelorMittal, a multinational steel manufacturing corporation, to transport recycled steel using its railcars. Furthermore, Ermewa applies a sustainable approach to managing its ageing wagons, either refurbishing them to extend their lifespan or recycling them, salvaging high-quality parts for other uses. This practice, part of a larger circular economy approach, sees around 2,000 railcars recycled annually with 95-99% of their components being re-purposed. As Ermewa navigates through the turmoil of the global landscape, it remains rooted in its commitment to sustainable and resilient operations.
