Trackelast is a division of Tiflex Limited that was formed in 1990 from two well established companies; TICO and The Flexible Cork Company. Trackelast is the division previously called The Flexible Cork Company which was established in 1946 and many of their materials retain the FC (Flexible Cork) designation known throughout the rail industry.

We specialise in the design, development, testing and manufacture of resilient rail support materials and other components which are designed to reduce noise and vibration from the rail tracks. These materials are used in both heavy and light rail applications and can offer other secondary benefits.

Tiflex has a state-of-the-art manufacturing and test facility in Cornwall, approved to the various rigorous quality standards demanded of today’s rail industry. This is coupled with an extensive product development laboratory.

Trackelast are here to help our customers not only with standard products but also bespoke solutions to meet their specific application requirements. Our polymer material specialists, through technical collaboration with our customers, develop solutions not only for rail applications, but also for other industries including; Defence, Oil & Gas and Construction. One example of this is the Trackelast FC650 fire retardant material designed in conjunction with TfL / LU and now used widely on the London Underground.
