Kalmar RT Center builds things that go when competitors stop
Kalmar RT Center’s business model is to go where oth-

The Texas-based operation is a manufacturer of spe-

intermodal logistics, mining and forestry industries, in

Kalmar RT Center has a workforce of 166 employees

northeast of San Antonio.
