As part of preliminary insolvency proceedings, intermodal wagon specialist Helrom has initiated a structured investor process aimed at securing a new owner \u201ccapable of unlocking the company\u2019s long-term potential\u201d. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The process, mandated by the creditors\u2019 committee, will be led by consultancy firm PwC, with results expected by October 2025.<\/p>\n

Helrom filed for preliminary insolvency in mid-July<\/a>, citing \u201ca short-term financing gap that could not be closed in time\u201d as the cause. Operations have remained largely unaffected<\/a>, with only one service temporarily suspended. \u201cWe are at the beginning of a restructuring phase \u2013 not at the end of our journey,\u201d said CEO Roman Noack.<\/p>\n

The Frankfurt-based company, founded in 2018, operates services between Austria, Hungary and Italy using specialised wagons designed to transport non-cranable semi-trailers. The preliminary proceedings were opened by the Local Court of Frankfurt and are being overseen by insolvency administrator Thomas Rittmeister, who stated: \u201cHelrom GmbH has a solid operational foundation and a forward-looking business model,\u201d suggesting cautious optimism about the company\u2019s prospects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
