KB Rail Mexico

Today, we held our Christmas gathering "Posada" with all the KB Rail Mexico employees, where we had the opportunity to come together, share laughs, dance, sing, and enjoy a raffle. We are grateful to everyone for their effort and the achievements made in 2024. We wish you all happy holidays! #MerryXmas #HappyNewYear #KBRailMexico

Today, we held a graduation ceremony for three employees who completed their high school studies and one who earned a master’s degree. At our company, the growth and development of our staff are of utmost importance, which is why we offer 100% scholarships to our employees. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the graduates and their families, who have always supported them, as balancing work and studies is no easy task. This marks our second graduating class, and we are incredibly proud of their achievements. #Graduation2024 #Congrats #KBRailMexico #WeMoveTogether

Our company always seeks to have information at hand so that our colleagues can access the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategy. On this occasion, the talk on "The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women" by Dariela García, was a gift of her valuable time and knowledge where the main theme was "gender violence". #DEI #WeMoveTogether #KBRailMexico

KB Rail Mexico had the opportunity to participate on November 6th and 7th in the local Maquila and Suppliers Expo Acuña 2024 for the third time in the past three years. There were over 17 companies that participated in this year's event, along with other MRO suppliers and logistics 3PL services. The majority of the visitors came from the local industry, universities, and high schools; the visitors were exposed to in-depth knowledge of the process required to manufacture their products, the type of tools that are used, and the places to which the products are exported that are produced with Acuña's labor. #KBRailMexico #WeMoveTogether #KBRailNorthAmerica

Día de Muertos KB Rail Mexico Day of the Death is a tribute to the afterlife, a day meant to honor those who have died and keep their memory alive. On Oct 2nd as part of this celebration we had a “Catrina” mask contest, a vibrant event of art, culture and tradition. Also, during breakfast all of our employees had the opportunity to taste a piece of “pan de muerto” (Mexican Dead of Bread) with a cup of hot chocolate. #KBRailMexico #WeMoveTogether #KBRailNorthAmerica

With the installation of 1,160 solar panels, we are proud to usher in the era of clean energy. On November 4, we officially switched on our clean energy generation system, marking a significant step toward KB's corporate goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030. This new solar panel system will enable us to produce more than 40% of our annual electrical energy consumption. Over the life of the project, we expect to prevent the emission of 15,230 tons of CO2. The system has the capacity to generate 1.06 gigawatts annually and consists of 860 panels installed on the roof of our warehouse, as well as 300 panels installed on the roofs of our cars in the parking lot. Undoubtedly, KBRM is aligned with the sustainability goals that our parent company, KB, is aggressively pursuing. During this exciting milestone, we were joined by representatives from Oficina Verde and the Ecology Department of the Municipality of Coahuila, as well as our executive Ed Whelan, VP of HSE and Quality at Knorr-Bremse Rail North America. With this achievement, we have undoubtedly embarked on a new era—one focused on sustainability #Sustainability #KBRailMexico #KBRailNorthAmerica #WeMoveTogether

On October 31st, as part of our Halloween celebration and in search to promote risk awareness, we had a dynamic called the tunnel of terror. As we went through the tunnel, the employees were able to find pictures of the consequences that accidents can bring, and we invited them to chase away the ghosts of unsafe acts and conditions. Although accidents happen, they are all preventable, and it is up to all of us to adopt a culture of prevention and safety awareness. Thank you to all our employees, and we hope you are not too scared! #SafetyFirst #Halloween #KBRailMexico #Wemovetogether

October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month; therefore, KB Rail Mexico promoted early detection by a special talk from Dr. Paola Ferrer, a specialist in oncology at the Mexican Institute of Social Security. Her talk focused on the factors to consider to detect at an early stage any abnormality that could lead to a health complication. In addition, some KBRM employees participated in a 5K run organized by Amigos del Hospital, which is a diagnostic center where tests and services of papanicolau and colonoscopy are performed at very low cost or free and with the best equipment of its time. It is worth mentioning that KBRM's Health Department has monthly prevention initiatives that permanently monitor the health of its employees. #CancerAwareness #KBRailMexico

Last month we conducted an internal auditor training based on the ISO 9001 standard for a group made up of colleagues from all departments. The training was provided by an external company from Saltillo Coahuila who at the end of training, certified the cross functional team of internal auditors who will help carry out internal audits of our quality system. We congratulate all of our colleagues who participated and successfully completed the training course. #Quality #KBRailNorthAmerica #KBRailMexico
