ACF Industries, Inc.
 PROFILE
ACF Industries (ACF) has been around for more than a century, but it is still on track. The company makes railroad tank and covered hopper cars (a category that it revolutionized with its Center Flow design). Through its American Railcar Industries (ARI) affiliate, ACF also sells and leases railcars and related parts such as coupling and braking components, valves, hatches, and outlets. ARI also offers customers such services as railcar painting, lining, and repair. Formed in 1899 and originally known as American Car & Foundry, ACF is the oldest builder of railcars in the US and is owned by billionaire financier Carl Icahn, who also is ACF's chairman.
