American Industrial Transport, a business formerly known as American Railcar Industries, is a specialist in railcar leasing and repair,[2] headquartered in Saint Charles, Missouri. AITX, both the name and primary railcar mark, leases railcars in the covered hopper and specialized tank car markets.[3]
History
American Railcar Industries (ARI) was formed in 1988 and grew in railcar repair as a result of acquiring business assets from ACF Industries.[4] At that time ARI manufactured components for railcars, and also provided painting, repair and fleet management services. By 1999, the company was manufacturing both hopper and tank cars.
In December 2018 the business was purchased by ITE Management.[5][6]
