The present invention relates to a component for rail fixing systems manufactured from a fibre-reinforced plastics material which consists of a basic plastics material and reinforcement fibres integrated therein. The component for rail fixing systems according to the invention can be manufactured from plastics materials in a cost-effective manner and combines a low weight with a mechanical resilience optimally matching the requirements with the greatest possible level of design freedom. This is achieved by manufacturing the component by using injection moulding compounding and the length of the reinforcement fibres being an average of at least 200 μm.
