Pep Shepherd Celebrates 50 Years with Altro
50 years at Altro: Today Pep works as Altro's Health and Safety Administrator, supporting the company's Zero Harm vision.
Altro have been designing and producing high quality rail safety flooring for almost sixty years. Here at Altro we pride ourselves on our drive to transform transport spaces for the people who use them, putting design-led innovation at the core of everything we do. We appreciate that train interiors are a large part of the on-board experience that modern passengers demand, so we partner with you to deliver more visually appealing, safe, compliant, and environmentally conscious rail cars.
Our lightweight train floor products offer:
Altro train flooring is used in a range of applications across the world, including a variety of different types of rolling stock, stations and even cable cars. From the companies specifying, to the experts fitting the floor, to the passengers who will be relying on your rail service, we’re committed to creating train floor material which positively impacts all individuals who might come into contact with it.
Here at Altro, safety is our highest priority. We’re proud that we offer imperative weight and compliancy features without ever compromising on our safety credentials. It’s important that passengers have the best protection underfoot to minimise the risk of slips or falls, no matter if the service is busy or what might contaminate the floor. The slip resistant aggregates in Altro’s acrylic rail floors are distributed throughout the thickness of the floor to ensure strong contact between the floor and the shoe.
We ensure that whatever your vision, we can help produce the contemporary, inviting environments that modern passengers expect. Beyond the sample card, we give you the opportunity to create entirely custom designs with complete colour freedom with both the base and aggregate colours (subject to minimum order quantity). Why not try out our kit cutting and logo service? Using our precision cutting equipment, we can make any logo or design out of our flooring products, from your company branding to useful wayfinding logos.
Our portfolio covers a range of compliancy regulations to give you choice wherever and whatever you’re specifying for.
