Jubilee of the Turkish subsidiary

Rail Cargo Logistics, the Turkish freight transport subsidiary of ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG), recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. Customers from different sectors and forwarding companies, service providers and representatives of the Austrian Consulate and Advantage Austria Istanbul were invited. The General Consul of Istanbul, Josef Saiger and his wife, Brigitte Saiger, were among the honoured guests. 20 years of successful railway logistics deserve to be celebrated – and in the course of this, great thanks are due to all of the stakeholders for this milestone.

Event on the Bosporus

Around 120 guests accepted the invitation to the Portaxe Shine venue in Baltalimani on the banks of the Bosporus. After welcome speeches from RCG board member Christoph Grasl and managing directors Murat Hürmen and Ercüment Gücüyener, the guests were able to not only talk about industry-related topics in a celebratory atmosphere but also enjoy a performance of the Turkish folk dance Zeybek and a violin show.

The Turkish RCG subsidiary was founded in 2003 in Istanbul under the name Express-Interfracht in partnership with majority shareholdings. It has been a one hundred percent subsidiary of the Rail Cargo Group since 2008. The company was renamed Rail Cargo Logistics ten years ago. Today, the railway logistics specialist is the market leader in the conventional and combined rail transport sector focusing on end-to-end services.
