Potential to accelerate growth due to complementary product range, expanded software and electronics expertise as well as a global sales organization
OEM Technology Solutions, based in Sydney, Australia, has been part of the DUAGON-MEN-GROUP since the beginning of April. The merger of the companies underlines the positioning of the group as a leading provider of communication, control and computing solutions for rail vehicles.
Pioneering and Future-Oriented: Strong Together in the Rail Market
DUAGON-MEN-GROUP signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of OEM Technology Solutions based in Sydney, Australia.

In addition to controllers, I/O products and gateways, OEM Technology Solutions offers cloud software services for diagnostics and Condition-Based Monitoring (CBM).
OEM's controllers and communication gateways provide owners, operators, train builders, maintainers and subsystem suppliers with the means to collect data necessary to perform CBM, thus maximizing availability and minimize maintenance costs.
“OEM Technology Solutions products and services allow us to provide a broader and deeper product set to the railway market” explained Dr. Markus Dilger, CEO of the DUAGON-MEN-GROUP, when the contract was signed.
Both James McLeod and Richard Gobee, the founders of OEM Technology Solutions have committed to long term agreements to continue to manage the Sydney organization and contribute to the overall group product development strategy. “We are very excited to continue and further accelerate our success story together with the DUAGON-MEN-GROUP”, commented both Richard and James at the signing ceremony.
Global presence for optimized customer service
Together, the group will strengthen its position as the leading independent global technology provider for railway software and electronics and the DUAGON-MEN-GROUP is committed to further investment in the R&D Centre in Sydney. The headquarters of OEM Technology Solutions will act also as a sales and support center for the products of the DUAGON-MEN-GROUP in Australia and Asia Pacific. Similarly, the global duagon-MEN-GROUP organization with on-the-ground service hubs in Switzerland, Germany, China, France and USA will provide support for all of OEM Technology Solutions’ products and services.
With this transaction the DUAGON-MEN-GROUP is positioned for sustained growth and global best-in class customer service and support.
