About The Company

A. Stucki Company, established in 1911 by Arnold Stucki, is focused on the engineering, reconditioning, machining and manufacturing of railcar parts, railcars, and industrial parts. Arnold Stucki, a talented Swiss engineer who had moved to America shortly before the turn of the century, thrived in the rail industry and authored “Steel Car Design,” a landmark reference guide. In the company’s early days, the side bearings Mr. Stucki designed to stabilize rail cars became an industry standard. By the 1950s, almost all North American railroads had converted to Stucki roller side bearings. In more recent years, Stucki has focused on growth and diversification, acquiring accomplished suppliers of machined components, springs, bearings and other products, as well as critical remanufacturing and logistics services. The expansion program has broadened Stucki’s product and service capabilities and added tremendous value to long-term customers within and beyond the rail industry. At A. Stucki Company, we pride ourselves on our ever-growing, progressive roots. We value innovative individuals who exude qualities such as integrity and commitment. Our foundation rests on success, hard work, initiative, and an environment that promotes growth and continuous improvement.
