Long term commitment to the market
Mitsui Rail Capital Europe B. V. and MRCE Dispolok GmbH work as one-hundred per cent subsidiaries of Mitsui & Co., Ltd. The global player Mitsui stands for stability and long-term commitment in the railway sector.
With more than 40,000 employees in over 90 branches and 560 affiliated companies worldwide, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (“Mitsui”) is now one of the world’s largest integrated trading companies. Mitsui has been active in global railway projects over the past decades. Its recent track record includes the Taiwan High Speed Railway project as one of the consortium leaders.
Since Mitsui started its investment for railcar leasing in the U.S.A. in 1996, it has been developing its railway leasing and service as its core business on a long-term basis. Having established Mitsui Rail Capital Europe B.V. in 2004 and further integrated the former Siemens Dispolok GmbH in 2006, Mitsui expanded its locomotive leasing and service in Europe and is now the European market leader. We now have a fleet of over 200 locomotives in Europe and we will increase it to about 300 soon.
