Lucchini UK (LUK) is part of the Lucchini RS Group of Italy, specialising in the machining of train wheels and
axles, the assembly of complete wheelsets for new passenger carriages and the maintenance of train
wheelsets and gearboxes.
LUK has met with outstanding success promoting the high quality of its products
and intensifying a close relationship between Staff, Customers and Suppliers, in
particular via its Continuous Improvement Programme called Lukomotion. The
company commitment is constantly to update its machining capability and nondestructive
testing technology and increase efficiency to keep up with customer
demands for top quality, service and flexibility.
As well as being approved to ISO 9001, LUK is certified to IRIS, RISAS and more
recently added ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 to its long list of approvals.
LUK’s wheel and axle plant in Trafford Park, Manchester, claims over one hundred
years of history. Now owned by Lucchini RS (Rolling Stock), the plant has
undergone an £11m investment programme to update its facilities, making it a
“one-stop shop” for any activity related to wheelsets and gearboxes.
LUK’s Italian parent company is at the forefront of the design and manufacture of
wheels, axles and wheelsets, with its own steel production, R&D laboratories and
state-of-the-art facilities for wheel and axle manufacture.
