Greenbrier does the hard work that matters. We build the freight railcars and barges that keep global economies moving—and keep them moving at scale.
An innovator committed to Moving What Matters™, Greenbrier is the leading international supplier of equipment and services to freight rail transportation markets. Headquartered in Lake Oswego, Oregon, we’re a workforce of over 18,000 employees in the Americas, Europe and the Middle East. Greenbrier is a growing company dedicated to the people and communities where we live and operate.
We pride ourselves on being a global industry leader in innovation.
Greenbrier manufactures and repairs virtually every type of freight railcar, and we maintain a full-service wheels, axles and parts network. Greenbrier Gunderson — our flagship facility in Portland, Oregon — also manufactures a wide range of Jones Act ocean-going barges and river barges for freight transportation along with other industrial and marine-related products.
Greenbrier’s leasing business enables us to offer flexible financing programs to our customers in North America. These leasing options are complemented by our freight railcar management services offerings, making Greenbrier the most comprehensive freight railcar management solutions provider in North America, managing over 372,000 railcars.
Every day, our actions are shaped by our priorities.
