About Peter Spuhler
Peter Spuhler, former CEO of Stadler Rail, built a fortune buying up railcar makers across eastern Europe.
In 2019, Spuhler took Stadler Rail public through an IPO that valued the company at $3.8 billion.
His wife's grandfather had started Stadler five decades earlier, and in 1989, he bought the company from her grandmother for $6 million.
Over the years Stadler has built railcars to climb to Germany's highest peak and designed ones to withstand the brutal Helsinki winters.
