## About

Founded in 2003 by co-founders Hans-Jürgen Weidemann, Michael Baier, and Fritz Merk and based in Leipzig, Germany, CargoBeamer AG provides an intermodal transport system to move semi-trailers by rail. In February 2025, CargoBeamer AG raised EUR 65 million in equity and debt financing from new investor Orion Infrastructure Capital. As of June 2024, the company is led by CEO Nicolas Albrecht. CargoBeamer offers a rail-based alternative for transporting semi-trailers. The system allows various semi-trailer types, including non-craneable, tank, and refrigerated units, to be loaded onto special trains. The company operates a growing network of terminals, enabling seamless loading and unloading of semi-trailers onto and from railcars. These terminals are equipped for efficient and rapid processing, including the loading and unloading of an entire train. Additionally, the business offers an eLogistics platform for online booking, document management, and real-time shipment tracking via GPS. This allows for transparent and convenient shipment management for customers. The company will utilize the February 2025 funding to aid with the building of two CargoBeamer-Terminals in Domodossola, Italy, and Kaldenkirchen, Germany.
