Torsten Lehnert, CEO of RAILPOOL, says: “The foundation of a RAILPOOL subsidiary in Poland is a logical continuation of our considerable activities in this market, one of the biggest and most important rail markets in Europe. I am very pleased to have Robert Nowakowski on board with us to lead the local business starting in October. He is a seasoned rail executive who knows very well the Polish market and I am convinced that his extensive experience paired with RAILPOOL’s competence for full-service lease and our modern rolling stock will be of great benefit for our local customers and business partners.”

Robert Nowakowski says: “I am delighted to join RAILPOOL in October to take their operations in Poland to the next level. I am myself strongly rooted in the local – and challenging – rail cargo market. Based on Railpool’s great success in Poland and in line with their ongoing expansion in Eastern Europe I am very much looking forward to helping them pave the way to meet the increasing local demand for powerful and reliable traction services.”
