Branches of activity
We have fostered the development of the Italian railway network since the 1950s.
With our technology and tools as well as the know-how and technical skills under our belt, we have faced the new challenges of high-speed trains: over a third of the national high-speed network in Italy runs on lines and tracks set up by GCF.
For years we have dealt in Italian railway maintenance and in international railway work, following the strictest quality, safety and environmental standards.
We have touched down in the electrification and signalling segments thanks to a shrewd policy of acquisition of leading companies in the industry.
We have developed an efficient company branch for machine and locomotive maintenance, opened construction sites in the subway and tram sectors and upped our presence on foreign markets.
The history of railway equipment is our history and our evolution.
The railway is our profession.

Services
With the Plasser 09/32/4S and the Matisa B50D tamping machines (equipped with a Palas system for lining of the track on absolute base) you can achieve forward movement of 1,500 m/h.
La Meccanica, the special train for track construction, can lay 16 ties per minute, which makes for about 500 m of new track per hour.
In Italy, where as a general rule train circulation is allowed to stop for just 3 to 4 hours a day—and only during night hours—GCF can complete 1 km of track-overhead line per day, that is, in half the time it usually takes in other countries.
Company history
Sixty-five years of history
GCF was originally a sole proprietorship founded by Luigi Rossi in 1950, specialized in railway equipment. It changed into a limited liability company in the early 1980s, and in 1990 it was incorporated into a public limited company. Today Generale Costruzioni Ferroviarie is the main company in Rossi Group.
Dedication to the mission and emphasis on cutting-edge technology, experience and innovation have progressively driven the development of the company. Today it has become one of the key players in renewals and reclamations, not to mention the construction of new traditional or high-speed/capacity lines.
The last few years have been particularly important for GFC’s development.
Heavy investment in machinery and extremely efficient production technology, the organization, training and specialization of human resources and the acquisition of important companies and firms operating in the electric traction and signalling industry have provided CGF with the tools, skills and know-how that make it possible for the company to go through with integrated projects and turnkey contracts in the railway, subway and tram industries.
The organization and speed of its services, quality management and strict compliance with the safety standards make GCF simply outstanding. The big names in Italy and Europe count on GCF to be their supplier—the perfect partner for carrying out international products with broad horizons.
Offices and availability
GCF's main offices are in Rome.
All strategic planning and management control activities are carried out here, as well as all financial, administrative and technical management functions in addition to organisation linking and coordination of site operations.
