Helrom, a German intermodal operator which applied for insolvency in July 2025, has found a new investor. A purchase agreement has reportedly been signed. The company has therefore secured its future existence.
The identity of the Helrom owner-to-be is not yet publicly known, but the rail operator tells RailFreight.com that an announcement is coming soon. What is known is that the new investor will ensure that non-craneable trailers can continue to be transferred to rail using Helrom technology in the future, according to German publication DVZ.
A creditors’ meeting will still need to approve the agreement. That meeting is set to take place on 20 January. The investor finding process, which took around half a year, aimed to secure the continuation of business operations. Consulting firm PwC supported Helrom in the search for an investor and also extended its efforts to international parties.
