Alstom is adding a 135,000 square-foot manufacturing facility on Shawmut Park Drive in Hornell, New York, to produce stainless steel rail car shells. The $50 million investment will support a contract to supply up to 500 commuter rail cars to Metra in Chicago.

Metra S.p.A. has completed the acquisition of Rustici S.p.A., a manufacturer of aluminum structural components for the rail industry based in Pistoia, Italy. This is Metra's second acquisition since being acquired by KPS Capital Partners in July 2021.

KPS Capital Partners signed a definitive agreement to acquire Siderforgerossi Group, a global manufacturer of large-diameter forged products, from its current owners. Siderforgerossi operates nine manufacturing sites in Italy and three in India.

KPS Capital Partners signed a definitive agreement to acquire Crown Holdings' EMEA food, aerosol and promotional packaging business for EUR 2.25 billion, with Crown keeping a 20% stake. Closing is expected in the third quarter of 2021.
