2026 celebrates a remarkable milestone for our company: 100 years of serving the rail industry with maintenance of way equipment. For a full century, we’ve been proud to support the people and teams that keep our railroads operating safely and efficiently.
Founded in 1926, an era when rail was the backbone of industry, Nordco began with a simple mission to build world-class roadway work equipment that would help maintain the tracks that our country relied on. What started as a small operation in Wisconsin has grown into a reliable equipment partner that serves customers across the continent.
Over the past 100 years, rail technology has evolved dramatically, and we have evolved with it. From early mechanical solutions to the advanced AI vision systems of today, we at Nordco are proud to be at the forefront of innovation in the industry. We’ve continuously invested in engineering, manufacturing, and partnerships with our customers to ensure our products meet the demanding requirements that the railroads rely on.
Looking forward, we are committed to proactively solving the problems that the next century will present. Whether that’s safety, sustainability, or technology, we remain committed to providing innovative maintenance of way solutions to meet those needs.
We are grateful to our customers and partners who have trusted us over the decades. Their challenges have pushed us to expand the possible.
With the same values that have guided us from the beginning, we’d like to say thank you for being a part of our journey. Here’s to 100 years of excellence.
