The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. strongly disagrees with allegations made in petitions filed by UTLX Manufacturing LLC (UTLX), seeking antidumping and countervailing duties on certain railway tank cars and parts. Greenbrier will vigorously defend its record before the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission.

The petitions are not supported by the facts or the law. Greenbrier rejects the false suggestion that it abandoned U.S. tank car production or American workers. Greenbrier operates a purpose-built tank car manufacturing facility in Marmaduke, Arkansas, where American employees build tank cars today. In fact, the petition itself identifies Greenbrier as a U.S. producer and acknowledges Greenbrier's domestic tank car production in 2025.

Greenbrier's commitment to American manufacturing is broad. The company employs more than 2,000 skilled Americans in railcar manufacturing, component assembly, repair and maintenance at more than 20 facilities in 11 states. The petition's effort to portray Greenbrier's manufacturing operations as a retreat from the United States is disconnected from the facts. Since 2019, Greenbrier has invested more than $500 million in its Arkansas manufacturing operations, including Marmaduke and Paragould. These investments support American welders, machinists, electricians, engineers and suppliers across the United States.

Greenbrier also rejects allegations that its tank cars are unfairly priced or subsidized. Greenbrier competes on safety, quality, innovation, productivity and customer value. Its tank cars are built to rigorous U.S. Department of Transportation and Association of American Railroads (AAR) standards, everywhere they are manufactured, including our AAR-certified site in Arkansas. In fact, Greenbrier purchases tons of steel annually from U.S. foundries as the primary input into the tank cars that UTLX alleges to be dumped and subsidized.

Trade remedies should be based on a complete factual record, not a competitor's unsupported claims about Greenbrier's business, workforce or future intentions. Greenbrier will cooperate fully with Commerce and the Commission while advocating for its American employees, customers, shareholders and suppliers, as well as the efficiency and competitiveness of the North American rail network and the broader U.S. economy.
