Munich, 23.02.2016 – Railpool, one of the leading European leasing companies for electric locomotives, is setting the course for future growth with GIC becoming an additional shareholder.

GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, joins funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree”) in investing in Railpool’s ongoing fleet expansion and becomes a 49% shareholder in the company. The combined shareholder group will enable Railpool to continue its successful growth, enter into new business areas and selectively make acquisitions.

Oaktree gave us the possibility to upgrade our operations and successfully grow our business while the additional investment of GIC is now securing the continuation of locomotive fleet expansion as well as investing in other growth markets. We are glad to have these two very strong shareholders supporting us in our next phase of development” Torsten Lehnert, CEO at Railpool says.
