HARSCO CORPORATION Building Total Life Cycle Support New relationships are positioning Harsco Rail to support  new global contracts—and to grow our long-term value to customers.  When customers around the world negotiate large rail equipment  contracts, they pay close attention to how original equipment  manufacturers will support their equipment throughout the product life cycle. Public and private railroads around the world are responding favorably to our customer-focused service model.  We’re driving leading-edge innovation directly in response to customer needs, both now and into the future.  Harsco’s customer-first philosophy figured prominently in two  recent, long-term contracts signed with SBB, the national railway  company of Switzerland, each valued at more than $100 million.  Harsco will produce specialized utility track vehicles and catenary  maintenance units, both to the highest European specifications.  Harsco Rail contracted to purchase a meaningful portion of the  content from Swiss suppliers, and also will utilize components and advanced technology from other proven European railway  suppliers. And by meeting customer objectives for locally sourced  and supported content, we’re helping boost local economies while  building reliable supply lines throughout the product life cycle. Mapping an Efficient Manufacturing Layout Moving five individual manufacturing plants under one  roof will add capacity and accelerate the production  cycle, so Harsco Industrial AXC can help energy  producers meet growing demand for natural gas. At Harsco Industrial AXC, Lean analysis revealed that our Air-X-Changers engineered coolers traveled dozens of miles between plants during the manufacturing process. That meant extra transportation expense, a longer production cycle and  higher fixed costs driven by the use of multiple facilities. 6 2014 SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT
