Boise Rail inc was formed in the USA early in 2002 after its founders, Clive Greeff , discovered that their was a need for an international locomotive supply company that was USA based and dedicated to expanding into the Southern African regions. Starting from their home office in Meridian Idaho, Boise Rail first supplied their products to local merchant traders and regional distributors, and soon demand outstripped supply.

The establishement of strategic joint venture partnerships and the opening of a South Africa office in 2005 saw the next step in the growth of the group and regional expansion resulted in it becoming a major player in the world market.

Visions of regional strength and dominance have led the company from humble beginnings to where it is today.
