Since the year 2000 the Society has undergone strategic refocus, concentrating on its core compentence in packaging technology. Today SIG comprises one division: SIG Combibloc, specializing in aseptic carton. On 5 November 2007, SIG Holding AG was acquired by Reynolds Group Holdings Ltd., the private investment company of businessman Graeme Hart. Reynolds announced the sale of SIG Holding AG to ONEX Corporation on 24 November 2014.〔http://www.reynoldsgroupholdings.com/Announcements/2014/24Nov2014PressReleaseSIG.pdf〕 == Railways == In 1853, SIG was founded in Neuhausen am Rheinfall (Canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland), as a manufacturer of railway cars. In the late 1970s, SIG was the designer and builder of what was at the time Toronto, Canada's latest tram (or streetcar), the CLRV L1. Only the first six CLRV cars were made by SIG (out of an order for 10, the rest were cancelled for cost-saving measures). The remaining 190 L2 vehicles, along with 52 articulated variants, were made by Thunder Bay, Ontario-based UTDC (which is now part of Bombardier Transportation). The tilting system of the SBB RABDe 500 was developed by SIG. The railway branch of SIG was sold in 1995 to Fiat and in 2000 to Alstom, today only components are manufactured in the Neuhausen works. SIG also manufactured 3 passenger coaches for the Trans Europ Express trainset used briefly by Ontario Northland Railway for their Northlander service (two power coaches were made by Werkspoor).〔http://www.uwyo.edu/rgodby/trains/northlander.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
