About Us
FOREWORD
System7 sets high standards for itself and it is System7’s highest premise to be a reliable, fair and predictable partner for our customers, suppliers and our other business partners.
In order to meet the high demands and to be able to successfully manage the challenges, System7 has implemented compliance guidelines and a code of conduct.
These provisions set out what has been a matter of course for System7 since the company was founded: compliance with ethical standards, social responsibility, fair competition, sustainability and law-abiding business activities.
The above-mentioned guidelines as well as the Code of Conduct reflect System7’s corporate philosophy, values and principles: a “togetherness” based on mutual trust and fairness – both towards our customers, suppliers and our other business partners as well as towards our employees.
System7 is fully committed to the Guidelines and Code and the standards, values and responsibilities contained therein, and leads by example.

About The Company System7
The track with its individual components – substructure, subgrade, ballast bed, sleepers, fastenings, rails and overhead line – forms a system.
The railroad – with infrastructure managers, train operations, passengers, maintenance companies and industry – also forms a system.
The strength of a system comes from the quality of the individual components and their interaction.
As a developer of track construction machines, aggregates, and system solutions, we improve and optimize this interaction.
The focus of our developments is on minimizing life-cycle costs, reducing maintenance effort, clear and intuitive operation and digital remote monitoring of the products, as well as reducing noise and particulate matter.
Our seven guiding principles
- The focus is on the customer
- We listen to our customers
- We live partnership
- We strive for transparency
- We develop the best products
- We offer the best service
- We act sustainably and with environmental awareness
Our quality, safety and environmental management system and employee policies are compatible with:
- EN ISO 9001:2015
- EN ISO 14001:2015
- EN 15085-2:2008
- DIN 6701-2

Compliance Guidelines And Code Of Conduct (COC)
The following points provide an overview of our corporate policy and describe our approach to ensuring conduct in line with values and the law and our benchmark for ethically and legally impeccable action.
A. SCOPE
In the interest of System7 as well as in the interest of our employees and business partners, the following points are “lived” in the company at all times.
