Background

About Alex Kandrach

My railroad career began in my living room at the age of 13. My dad had just started an e-commerce business called Railroad Tools and Solutions, LLC. At the time, my responsibilities included printing and binding paper catalogs, burning and labeling CD catalogs, and searching the internet for mailing addresses of railroads and mines. Over the past 20 years, I have progressed from being a part-time summer and winter employee to my current position as the General Manager of Railroad Tools and Solutions, Inc. Throughout my journey, I have taken on various responsibilities such as marketing, sales, customer service, shipping, human resources, cleaning, IT, and research and development - often all in a single day. I am fortunate to have had the exceptional opportunity to learn from my dad, who is one of the most knowledgeable individuals in the industry, throughout my entire career. In August 2023, Railroad Tools and Solutions was acquired by Railway Supply Group. I am excited to continue working in this industry alongside my dad, within this group, and to see where we can take Railroad Tools!
