About AW Solutions:
AW Solutions was founded in 2013 by Andrzej Wójtowicz, an experienced rail transport engineer and entrepreneur who has been in the business since 1991.
Since our inception, we have been at the forefront of introducing solid sticks for wheel flange lubrication of rail vehicles. Based on this technology, we have developed an extremely efficient lubrication system that has earned recognition from some of the largest railway companies in Poland.
Thanks to our local success and growing international interest, we have expanded our operations globally. Today, our NSP-WFL solid lubricants are used by train operators worldwide, helping them significantly increase fleet operational efficiency while reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
At AW Solutions, our team is dedicated to helping train operators around the world achieve a higher level of transportation services through the use of our dry, bio-based wheel flange lubrication system. Whether it is a new system installation, replacement of an existing lubrication system, or a switch to our solid lubricants, our clients can always count on excellent results and satisfaction from both the maintenance and purchasing departments.
If you are looking for the most efficient flange lubrication system to improve your transportation services, we are here to help. Contact us today to learn more about NSP-WFL and how it can benefit your operation.

Testimonials
SIEMENS Mobility Sp. z o.o.
“At the moment, the fleet of Siemens INSPIRO vehicles that is operating on the Warsaw Metro lines is equipped with NSP-WFL solid stick wheel flange lubrication system offered by AW Solutions.”
SIEMENS Mobility Sp. z o.o.
Rail Polska Sp. z o.o.
“After a two-year period of use, we observed a considerable (about 40%-50%) decrease in the pace of the wear of wheel flanges compared to locomotives not equipped with the lubrication system.”
Rail Polska Sp. z o.o.
WISKOL Sp. z o.o.
“We declare that, using solid stick wheel flange lubrication system [NSP-WFL] extended the longevity of wheel sets by nearly 50%.”
WISKOL Sp. z o.o.
Freightliner PL Spółka z o.o.
“We declare that [NSP-WFL] solid sticks can be successfully used for wheel flange lubrication in locomotives’ wheelsets, diminishing thereby their wear.”

Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways
“We have been using […] 300mm long applicators with interlocking soy sticks […] for over a year and we have been very pleased with the results with a marked reduction in wheel flange wear where the applicators have been fitted. We will be extending their use over the next few years.”

DB Cargo Polska S.A.
“Performed observations revealed much lower consumption of the [NSP-WFL] sticks for lubricating the wheel flange as against to currently used. ”
DB Cargo Polska S.A.
DCT Gdańsk SA
“The applied layer of lubricant stays resistant to weather conditions and it is not removed from the metal surfaces after precipitations. The soybean oil-based sticks characterize themselves with lower wearing at steel wheels surfaces than the graphite sticks.“
DCT Gdańsk SA
Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd
“The consumption of [NSP-WFL] solid lubricants is 46.2 % lower compared to currently used”
Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd
JSC „Lietuvos geležinkeliai“
“Conclusions: the consumption of [competitive] solid lubricants is 2.6 times greater than [NSP-WFL].”
JSC „Lietuvos geležinkeliai“
PKP CARGO S.A.
“From above, it emerges that on locomotives subjected to observation, the wear of […] soy sticks was about 50% lower than of the competing provider.”
PKP CARGO S.A.
„PKP Intercity” Spółka Akcyjna
“In the following weeks, wear of the [NSP-WFL] sticks were already two times lower and amounted to approx. 15-20mm per week (10mm / 4300km).”
„PKP Intercity” Spółka Akcyjna
“Przewozy Regionalne” sp. z o.o.
“Performed operations have shown a few times lower consumption of the lubricant for wheel
flanges (about 20mm/10 000km) compared to the previously used.”
