Ansaldo Trasporti , abbreviated to ATR , was an Italian railway manufacturer with headquarters in Napoli. Founded in 1980 as a joint venture between Ansaldo and Finmeccanica , the company was listed and part of the Finmeccanica group. It was dissolved in 2001 and completely taken over by Finmeccanica after the operational business in AnsaldoBreda and Ansaldo STS had merged.
history
After the company was founded, Finmeccanica initially held 10% and Ansaldo 90% of the share capital. Shortly after it was founded, the vehicle manufacturer began to act as a system provider and general contractor and was listed on the Italian stock exchange in 1986. In 1988 ATR bought the American signaling system manufacturer Union Switch & Signal (US&S), headquartered in Pittsburgh , which was listed on NASDAQ in 1993 . A year later, ATR took over 49% of the French Compagnies des Signaux et d'Entreprises Electriques (CSEE), which had supplied the TVM signaling system for the TGV .
In 1996 Ansaldo Signal was founded in the Netherlands , in which all activities of ATR in the field of signaling systems were combined. The entire assets of US&S and CSEE were brought into the company, with ATR appropriating the remaining 51% from CSEE. Ansaldo Signal was listed on NASDAQ. After ATR went public in 2000, Ansaldo Signal's shares were no longer traded on the stock exchange. In the following year, ATR outsourced its activities as a system provider and general contractor to its own subsidiary Ansaldo Trasporti Sistemi Ferroviari (TSF), which was founded in 2000.
After the vehicle division merged with Breda to form AnsaldoBreda , Ansaldo Trasporti was fully integrated into Finmeccanica and the shares withdrawn from trading. The two former ATR subsidiaries, Ansaldo Trasporti Sistemi Ferroviari and Ansaldo Signal, were initially controlled directly by Finmeccanica and then incorporated into Ansaldo STS in 2006 .
