Talgo President Josa Antonio Jainaga has highlighted that the company has reached a record volume of orders of EUR 6.307 billion and is expected to doubleits production capacity by the end of 2028.
In the words of Jainaga, Talgo is probably living through one of the brightest moments in its commercial history. After closing 2025 with a portfolio of orders worth EUR 4.466 billion, that figurehasnow risen to EUR 6.307 billion, setting a record.
In addition, the president of Talgo has announced the creation of a new corporate research unit in the Basque Country, which will be integrated into the Basque Network of Science, Technology and Innovation and will be called Talgo TeknoRail.
General Shareholders Meeting
Jainaga made these announcements at the Talgo Shareholders General Meeting held this Tuesday in Vitoria-Gasteiz, which was the first ordinary meeting chaired by Jainaga.
The president of Talgo - and of Petronor - has stressed that the last few months have been marked by changes in the shareholder structure of the company, as well as by a profound financial restructuring, both processes aimed, he said, at providing Talgo with the stability it needs.
Thanks to this, Jainaga has ensured that Talgo currently has a very high level of liquidity, as well as a highly diversified financial structure that will enable it to develop its growth policy with guarantees through numerous contracts to be implemented in the coming years.
He also explained that in the coming weeks they will complete their agreement with Renfe on the Avril project, which will leave any financial uncertainty completely clear.
