With more than 1,600 employees across eight locations and over four decades of regional presence, Alstom has established itself as a leading player in East Asia's rail sector. The company is supporting a wide range of transformative projects, from new metro lines and signalling modernisation to the deployment of greener and more efficient transport solutions.
Key references in the region include Bangkok's Pink and Yellow monorail lines, Taipei's Wanda–Zhonghe–Shulin and Circular lines, Hanoi Metro Line 3, and Manila Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) Cavite Extension.

Rapid urbanisation and increasing demand for efficient, low-carbon transport solutions are creating significant opportunities. With our long-standing presence and strong local partnerships, Alstom is well positioned to support this transformation. I am honoured to lead this next chapter and to work with our teams and partners to drive sustainable growth in East Asia," said Yann Maixandeau, Managing Director, East Asia.
