From modest beginnings in 1979, Inter-Rail Group has grown to become one of the premier automobile handlers in the nation. Committed to our core values, this growth reflects our continued dedication to provide the best service to our customers so that we can enjoy further opportunities and job security well into the future.
At Inter-Rail we make every effort to:
- Provide our customers with a quality service at a reasonable rate.
- Ensure our employees a secure and safe work environment while maintaining competitive wages and benefits.
- Encourage individual growth and company-wide excellence by promoting from within.
This dedication to quality for our customers as well as employees has benefited Inter-Rail from its inception. When first founded, Inter-Rail managed just one facility located in Walbridge, Ohio with volumes under 6,000 automobiles a year. However, Inter-Rail would not stay small for long, and as its reputation for quality increased, Inter-Rail's business opportunities expanded.
By 1990 we managed 11 facilities in several states and handled over 900,000 vehicles per year. Ambitious for us at the time, our slogan at the annual managers' meeting was "1.5 in 95" as we hoped to achieve volumes of 1.5 million in the following five years.
Exceeding that goal less than three years later, we have since more than tripled in size without diminishing our commitment to excellence. In fact, in 1999 we achieved one of the highest stamps of quality in the industry, ISO-9002 certification. In 2003, we improved quality standards to ISO 9001-2000.Even with our unprecedented growth, we have continually attained some of the highest American Association of Railroad audit scores, which independently assess quality within the industry.
Today we handle over 4 million vehicles a year, and provide other services such as railcar repair and switching in conjunction with our core service of multilevel railcar loading and unloading. Our customers are not only some of the largest railroads in the nation but automobile manufactures as well.
Over the years we have been recognized with the following awards:
- Ford Quality Goal Awards
- Chrysler Recognition of Excellence
- General Motors Vehicle Transportation Quality Awards
- CSX Transportation Ramp of the Year
- Union Pacific Quality Ramp Awards
- Chrysler Transportation Awards
- Chrysler Improvement Process All Star
- Honda Performance Excellence Award
- Union Pacific Supplier of the Year
