InterRail Subsidiary RailService acquires UralRail
Moscow, March 19. In February 2012, RailService Ltd., Moscow, a subsidiary of the Swiss InterRail Group, acquired the rolling stock owner UralRail, located in Moscow. “Thanks to the acquisition of a company with its own fleet, the spectrum of services offered by RailService has been extended a great deal. From now on, our rolling stock will no longer merely exist of rented wagons, but also of our own "open-top" wagons”, says Managing Director Yuri Kulakin.
UralRail, which was founded in 1996, currently owns altogether 163 "open-top" wagons. More than 55% of these wagons are no older than 10 years and 30% no older than 5 years.
Further acquisitions of rail service providers with their own equipment are likely to follow. „It is part of InterRail’s longstanding tradition“, says its Chairman of the Board Hans Reinhard, „to actively seek ways and means of bundling traffic routes, to effectively focus on our structures, and to aim at making our services increasingly attractive.“
The InterRail Group incorporates other companies with extensive experience and their own equipment, such as InterRail Logistics and InterRail-TSES, both of which are leaders in container transportation to and from CIS.
