ELL CEO Christian Kern:

“Some people say: The rail business is all about complex technology, heavy iron, huge amounts of reinforced concrete and enormous investments. Sure, that’s a major part of the fascination. But what really makes the difference in turning a rail company into a top performer are the people and their commitment. And, of course, a vision that everyone shares. Our employees are the decisive factor when it comes to the company’s success. As a company, we therefore attach great importance to transparent and trusting communication in order to create a working environment in which everyone can grow a little every day. And the great thing about it is that it is also a lot of fun to help build a “Great Place to Work”.”
