RSN 2024

It’s an exciting time for CB Frost as our team gears up for the summer, starting with RSN 2024, which takes place at Derby Arena on 4th July.

Now in its fifth year, Rolling Stock Networking (RSN) is the UK’s largest international rail industry exhibition, attracting rolling stock businesses from all over the world. Primarily focusing on passenger and freight rolling stock, depot equipment, ancillary services and technical enhancements across the wider rail industry and supply chain, RSN provides the opportunity for a wide range of organisations to exhibit their products and services.

RSN is a free to attend event, attracting a high footfall each year, so it is always an excellent opportunity for CB Frost to present our extensive range of high performance products and materials and showcase our manufacturing capabilities to visitors. With over 150 exhibitors taking part in RSN 2024, we expect it to be a busy day and look forward to making many new contacts.

As well as placing us face to face with such a large audience, the Rolling Stock Networking event is also always an ideal opportunity for us to stay on the pulse of innovations in the rail industry supply chain, as well as speaking with rail industry colleagues and existing contacts.

Speaking at last year’s event, business development manager Daniel Brock highlighted not only what CB Frost can do for the rail industry, but why exhibiting at RSN is always a great opportunity for us.

 

 

“We specialise in everything rubber, sponge and plastic for interior solutions for rail car manufacturers, so that may be door seals, window seals, extrusions, mouldings and gaskets. A one-stop shop for everything plastic, sponge and rubber. 

“We get to speak to key decision makers, influencers and the people who actually handle our products on a day to day basis. They’re the people we want to speak to, they’re the people that we need to see on a daily basis to introduce our company and showcase our full range of capabilities.”

Find CB Frost at RSN 2024

After an extremely successful summer of events in 2023, from which we gained a large volume of new industry contacts and won substantial new contracts, we are excited to exhibit at RSN 2024. 

If you are visiting this year’s exhibition on 4th July, CB Frost can be found at stand E4. We look forward to meeting you. If you have any queries prior to the event, please do feel free to get in touch with our sales team.
