Founded in 1888 in Lucerne, the company opened a branch in Rheinfelden, Switzerland, in 1943, where it specialized in the production of freight wagons and welded assemblies.

As part of internationalization, Waggonservice WSG, based in Berlin, was taken over in 2022; the company, specialized in freight wagons and auxiliary vehicles, was renamed JOSEF MEYER Rail Maintenance GmbH in 2023. From May 2023 a modern maintenance hall in the middle of Hamburg port was added, where JOSEF MEYER Rail Hamburg GmbH offers stationary and mobile maintenance services.
