One of the two new companies replacing French Fret SNCF, Technis, is currently facing legal issues as there is another company with the same name already registered. The \u2018original\u2019 Technis took the matter to court. \u201cIt is heartbreaking to see that certain groups consider themselves to be above the law\u201d, the company lamented.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The \u2018new\u2019 Technis was founded, together with Hexafret, to replace Fret SNCF in the context of a massive restructuring, implemented to avoid harsh sanctions from the European Commission. The former should take care of maintenance tasks, while the latter will pick up Fret SNCF\u2019s rail freight operations. However, the issue concerning the name Technis remain a pickle which will only be solved in French courts.<\/p>\n
