Alstom SA is a French multinational rolling stock manufacturer operating worldwide in rail transport markets. The company is active in the fields of passenger transportation, signalling, and locomotives, producing high-speed, suburban, regional, and urban trains, along with trams. Founded in 1928 through the merger of Thomson-Houston Electric Company's French heavy engineering subsidiary and Société Alsacienne de Constructions Mécaniques, Alstom has a long history of innovation and development in the railway sector. The company, originally Alsthom, became GEC Alsthom in 1989 after a merger with parts of the British General Electric Company, and was later rebranded as Alstom in 1998 following its listing on the Paris Stock Exchange.

Alstom develops and markets a comprehensive range of systems, equipment, and services for the railway transport sector. This includes rolling stock such as trains, tramways, and locomotives, as well as maintenance and modernization services, signalling solutions, and infrastructure. These offerings can be provided separately, bundled, or as fully integrated turnkey solutions. The company is a key international player in the industry with a significant presence in European markets and operations in over 63 countries. Alstom's portfolio features high-speed trains like the TGV, metros, monorails, and trams, alongside integrated systems, customised services, infrastructure, signalling, and digital mobility solutions. The company emphasizes its commitment to contributing to a low-carbon future by developing and promoting innovative and sustainable transportation solutions. Alstom's global presence is supported by a talent base of over 86,000 people from 184 nationalities, focusing design, innovation, and project management skills where mobility solutions are most needed. Following the acquisition of Bombardier Transportation in 2021, Alstom significantly expanded its portfolio and global reach, further solidifying its position as a leader in the rail industry.

The company's operations span across various segments including urban and mainline transportation, signalling, and services. Alstom provides maintenance, rebuilding, and renovation services, and also operates in the rail infrastructure market by designing, producing, and installing infrastructure for rail networks. This includes information solutions, electrification, communication systems, track laying, and station utilities. Alstom's commitment to innovation is evident in its development of new technologies, such as hydrogen-powered trains like the Coradia iLint, aiming to decarbonize rail transport. The company also invests in digital mobility solutions to enhance passenger experience and operational efficiency. Alstom's headquarters are located in Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, France.
