Founded in 1963 and based in the Kansas City area, COMET Industries provides rail technology, components and services for freight and industrial rail operations. Through COMET Rail and COMET Electronics, it supplies new and reconditioned freight-car and locomotive parts, AEI systems, wayside equipment and connected rail intelligence solutions. Its C-Suite ecosystem combines RailNet, Cinq and Cinq Edge to capture and analyse railcar movement data in near real time. AAR-certified reconditioning, extensive parts inventory and integrated hardware and software support reliable operations across railways, industrial sites and intermodal terminals in North America.
In the rail industry, where uptime, safety, and asset utilization are paramount, the concept of Increased Component Life (ICL) plays a vital role in maximizing the return on investment for railcar components.
Connectivity is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity, particularly in industries like freight rail where operations span vast geographic areas and involve countless moving parts.
With decades of expertise, COMET specializes in Automatic Equipment Identification (AEI) systems, freight car and locomotive components, insulated rail joints, and reconditioning services.
