Two family businesses, two countries, forty years of railway excellence
The ROMIC Group Limited is proud to announce a new partnership with Locomotoras San Luis S.A. De C.V. (LSL).
Both companies are family-owned, each with over 40 years of industry experience, and are coming together in a partnership built on shared values and a mutual commitment to quality, integrity, and customer focus.
Robert and Mary Coleman, owners of ROMIC, are delighted to announce this partnership with the LSL family:
“We share a deep alignment in values, and we’re genuinely excited about the future this collaboration holds. In business, finding the right partners is never easy; it takes time, patience, and a mutual understanding of core principles. When you do find people, you can truly trust and respect, it’s essential to honour that relationship and deliver on each other’s expectations. This partnership is built on that foundation, and we look forward to what we can achieve together.”
José Cardona González, Managing Director of Locomotoras San Luis added:
“Built on shared roots and a common vision, our two family businesses unite to create something greater than the sum of their parts; a partnership that blends tradition with progress, and passion with performance. Together, we aim to push boundaries, deliver real value, and leave a lasting mark on the industry we both deeply care about.”
Over the past three years, ROMIC and LSL have developed a strong working relationship, each recognising the strengths and capabilities the other brings to their respective markets. This collaboration has laid the groundwork for a formal partnership that will now drive global expansion and innovation.
LSL specialises in the manufacture of locomotives and components, earning a reputation for excellence in engineering and production. Their products consistently meet and exceed OEM standards, and they hold significant government contracts across Mexico, North America, and South America for both new build locomotives and overhauls.
ROMIC, with its global footprint spanning the UK, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia, focuses on delivering high-quality used rolling stock to clients worldwide. The company handles all aspects of logistics, commissioning, training and long-term support, ensuring seamless delivery and ongoing reliability and continuity.
This new partnership will allow both companies to expand their global reach; LSL leading on manufacturing, and ROMIC driving sales, marketing, and logistics. Importantly, the aim is not to compete with major OEMs, but to offer bespoke rolling stock solutions tailored to clients seeking smaller quantities and budget-conscious options. In addition to new locomotives, overhauled and remanufactured rolling stock will be offered to meet diverse operational needs.
Together, ROMIC and LSL are committed to delivering trusted, high-quality rail solutions with a personal touch.
