As part of the process, majority shareholder HRG expanded the investor base and provided additional capital.

Helrom has concluded insolvency proceedings initiated in 2025 after the Frankfurt am Main Local Court confirmed the insolvency plan as legally binding on January 20, 2026. The ruling completes the company’s financial and structural restructuring and secures its continued operations.

A new entity, Helrom Holding Limited, was established as a subsidiary of HRG to hold the participation. The holding is represented by Keith Heller, Thomas W. Rissman, Albert Enste and Roman Noack.

Helrom entered insolvency following a period of rapid growth combined with high upfront investments. The proceedings were used to recapitalise the business and reorganise its corporate structure, with the stated objective of stabilising the company and supporting longer-term scalability.

Under the new structure, Helrom remains the operational provider of its intermodal rail transport solution. The company continues to position itself as a technology-driven operator focused on combined transport services.

The revised shareholder and partner structure includes The Greenbrier Companies, Deutsche Anlagen Leasing (DAL) and Société Générale. All three have been long-standing industrial and financial partners of Helrom and continue their involvement following the restructuring.

According to the company, operational continuity was maintained throughout the insolvency process. In the coming months, Helrom plans to focus on stabilising its business and consolidating existing transport connections.
