At CB Frost & Co, we don’t believe in waiting around when a great opportunity knocks. That is exactly why we signed on the dotted line to secure our exhibition stand for Rolling Stock Networking (RSN) 2026 soon after last year’s event.

This year’s RSN event takes place at Derby Arena on Thursday, 2nd July.

As a specialist rubber and plastics manufacturer, and preferred converter for Rogers Corporation (a relationship spanning over 30 years), we supply a wide range of high performance EN45545-2 compliant products to meet the most stringent demands of modern rail applications, including Rogers’ world-class BISCO® Silicones and PORON® Urethane materials and Armacell’s ArmaFlex® Closed Cell Insulation Foams. 

RSN is always a highlight of our calendar as it’s a prime opportunity to showcase our bespoke solutions and expertise.

What is Rolling Stock Networking?

RSN is the UK’s largest international rail show, focused entirely on the essential details that keep the network moving. The exhibition specifically targets:

  • Passenger and Freight Rolling Stock
  • Technical Enhancements and Innovation in the Rail Industry
  • Depot Equipment and Ancillary Services
  • The Wider Rail Supply Chain

What makes RSN stand out in a crowded exhibition calendar is its unique philosophy. It’s free to attend and is designed to offer market access to companies of all sizes. Whether you are an OEM or a highly specialised SME like us, the event provides a level playing field to showcase capabilities to the entire rail sector.

Find CB Frost at Stand E2

We were fast to secure our spot at RSN 2026 due to the fantastic atmosphere of collaboration that we have experienced in previous years. Each event provides a great networking platform, with a focus on innovation and achieving shared goals.

You can find us this year at exhibition stand E2.
