A new force in European rail freight

[ December 6, 2023   //   ]

TX Logistik, a subsidiary of the Italian Railways’ Mercitalia Logistics arm, has finalised acquisition of Exploris Deutschland Holding Hamburg, becoming the second largest rail freight operator in Germany. After the preliminary contract was signed last July, the transaction was finalised following clearance by antitrust authorities. TX’s Logistics Business Division now has a footprint in 11 countries including the Exploris companies, Via Cargo, HSL Logistik and Delta Rail which are strongly oriented towards east-west transport and complementing its presence on the north-south European axis.

Chief international officer at Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane Group, Carlo Palasciano, said “Closing this deal takes us much closer to establishing the role that the division is carving out for itself as a European logistics operator.”
