Westbahn has extended its long-standing contract with STRABAG Property and Facility Services Austria on a long-term basis, while expanding the scope of services to include its southern route between Vienna and Villach.
The agreement continues a partnership in place since 2011, under which STRABAG PFS has acted as Westbahn’s exclusive integrated facility management provider. Its services cover cleaning of trains as well as retail and office spaces across key locations including Vienna, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Bregenz, Munich and Stuttgart.
The latest extension follows Westbahn’s network expansion, with new services operating from Vienna via Graz to Villach since March. STRABAG PFS will now support this route, including the cleaning of 22 trainsets across the expanded network throughout the year.
The scope includes nightly interior cleaning of carriages, windscreen cleaning and operational cleaning at stations, alongside specialist services such as graffiti removal. The company said it will deploy modern cleaning technologies to improve efficiency and resource use.
“We have had the privilege of accompanying Westbahn on its journey for many years and we are proud that this trust has now been reaffirmed,” said Matthias Plattner. “For us, this is not only an honour but also an incentive to continue delivering the highest quality across national borders.”
