TŽV Gredelj (Croatian: Tvornica željezničkih vozila Gredelj d.o.o.) is a Croatian rolling stock company founded in 1894 as the railway workshops of the Hungarian State Railways. After ten years of bankruptcy, the company was sold to Tatravagonka in 2021, a Slovak rail maunfacturer.[2] On 6 February 2026, the Tatravagonka management board announced the closure of TŽV Gredelj and the subsequent firing of around 300 employees.[3]
History
The company's history dates to 1894 and the establishment of a railway workshop for heavy repair of steam locomotives.[4] The original factory was constructed in 16 months on the edge of the city of Zagreb (now within the centre of the expanded city), south of the 1890 Zagreb Glavni railway station, for the Kraljevskih južnih željeznica (Royal Southern Railway) between Budapest and the Adriatic.[5]
