The Captrain Deutschland Group has announced a merger between its Eisenach subsidiary, Hörseltalbahn (HTB), and Regiobahn Bitterfeld Berlin (RBB). The consolidation will streamline administrative and operational processes. Captrain expects an improved efficiency within the group by integrating the services of HTB and RBB more effectively.
Henrik Würdemann, Managing Director of Captrain Germany, noted that HTB and RBB have a longstanding cooperative relationship. This merger formalizes their collaboration, allowing for a more cohesive operation in Central and Eastern Germany. The newly expanded RBB will continue under the leadership of its current managing directors, Holger Harsch and Tobias Zug.
Additionally, Captrain Germany Group will transfer all shares of its Polish rail freight company, Captrain Polska, to Captrain Germany. This change aligns the company structure with existing management responsibilities that have been in place since 2014. Historically, Captrain Polska was a subsidiary of ITL Eisenbahngesellschaft (ITL), another member of the Captrain Germany Group.
The structural changes will not affect employees, workplaces, or customers. Contacts and locations will remain the same, ensuring continuity in operations and service.
