––– Unrestricted driving with a reliable supply of spare parts
Discontinued components? Spare parts that are no longer economically viable to produce?
In the railway system, every standstill means operational disruption and costs. When manufacturers discontinue production of critical components or can no longer manufacture them economically, experienced partners are needed who can provide solutions – quickly, reliably, and with regional proximity.
Since 1997, the EBK Group has been developing and manufacturing sophisticated electromechanical spare parts for the railway industry. With our plants in Berlin, we ensure short lead times, and our experienced production team guarantees rapid project implementation with the highest quality standards, even for small production runs and complex requirements.
We get the railway running again with our tailor-made components – technically precise, documented and future-proof.
Our solutions are used internationally and stand for sustainable value creation, technological precision and reliable spare parts supply in rail transport.
Reverse Engineering
We reconstruct discontinued or no longer available products using new, procurable components. This ensures functional equivalence and extends the lifespan of existing systems.
Retro Fit
By revising existing products, we reuse all functional parts and replace defective components with suitable successor products or newly developed parts.
Redesign
If required, we develop complete replacement solutions from scratch – including design, production, and testing equipment construction. This ensures the functional equivalence of discontinued spare parts and guarantees the long-term availability of critical assemblies.
Rapid Prototyping
Using prototyping methods, we are able to reproduce spare parts with low tooling costs – and with identical functionality.
Digital rail transformation
By outsourcing production to the EBK Group, you gain the freedom to focus on digital transformation. At the same time, we also supply crucial electromechanical components for precisely this purpose.
Suppliers-
Bundling
We handle the spare parts supply, optimize procurement processes through supplier bundling and in-house production within the network with consistent quality assurance.
Here you will find:

––– Use Cases: From Challenge to Solution
Use Case I
Reverse rail engineering for electronic components
Initial situation
With older rail vehicles, operators often face the challenge that manufacturers discontinue previously used control components. At the same time, technical documentation for these components is no longer available. This means that a reliable supply of spare parts is no longer guaranteed – with a real risk of timetable disruptions and the associated financial losses.
Typical challenges:
1
High technical requirements
2
Missing manufacturing documents
The components of older rail vehicles are often characterized by high technical requirements combined with very low production volumes. Therefore, extremely economical manufacturing is essential. Furthermore, complete manufacturing documentation is frequently lacking, necessitating sound engineering expertise. This, coupled with a particularly rapid response time, is crucial to ultimately meeting deadlines.
THE SOLUTION
1
Consistent
Reverse Engineering
2
Development of efficient manufacturing processes for small production runs
The EBK Group undertakes the complete reverse engineering, creates new technical documentation and develops an efficient manufacturing process for small series to ensure cost-effectiveness.

Use Case II
Retrofit – Brake control switch for Berlin S-Bahn
Maintaining older systems in rail transport often presents a particular challenge: Critical components are frequently worn out, while original parts are no longer available. This was also the case here: Defective components of a brake control system had to be replaced, even though there were no longer any standard replacement parts available.
Use Case III
Redesign – Obsolescence Management in Rail Transport
In the rail sector, dealing with discontinued electronic components is one of the industry's recurring challenges. On the one hand, existing systems must continue to operate reliably; on the other hand, it is essential to ensure structural and functional equivalence despite the unavailability of components. How can this be managed?
