In 1973, Westcode Incorporated was formed as a privately owned corporation in the state of Pennsylvania (USA) as the manufacturing base for Westinghouse Brake and Signal Co. of Chippenham, England; which was originally founded by George Westinghouse in 1881. From then until now Westcode has developed into a major supplier of both Air Conditioning and Door Systems to the Rail Transit industry in North America.

From its Pennsylvania headquarters, Westcode designs and manufactures its Door and HVAC products to meet the specification and requirements of all of the Major rail vehicle manufacturers with facilities in North America.

Over the years Westcode has been associated with larger groups such as Hawker Siddley, and British Tyre and Rubber, and is now part of the Unipart Group based in the UK. In 1996 Westcode and Mitsubishi signed an agreement providing for Westcode to manufacture Mitsubishi Air Conditioning equipment under license further expanding range of equipment available.

Over the years these associations have all assisted in developing what is today a youthful and energetic company which is able to draw upon over 100 years of experience in the rail industry.

Our products are built to the highest standards of quality in terms of both reliability and maintainability, using the most modern technology, and techniques.
