TURKU, Finland, May 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Teleste Corporation announces the opening of the company's new repair centre in Warsaw, Poland. Since January 2018, the centre has been providing repair and spare part services to support its customers in the European public transport market. The expansion of the service activities underpins the growing importance of dedicated, value added services in the dynamic transport market that takes care of hundreds of billions of passenger-kilometres travelled annually.

We are determined to be the best partner for public transport operators and rolling stock manufacturers in building modern transport systems that can meet today's expectations for more efficient, highly available and greener travelling", stated Pekka Vänni, Director of Teleste's service business for the railway segment.

The new Warsaw repair facility expands Teleste's public transport services arm within the company's Video Security and Information business unit.
