The two shareholders of the company, HSH Nordbank and KfW IPEX-Bank, have appointed Torsten Lehnert and Thorsten Priebe to the management team as at 1 October 2013. Both were already instrumental in founding Railpool GmbH in 2008 and have since contributed to the company's success through their work as Head of Sales and Head of Service, respectively.

As at 30 September 2013 Dr Walter Breinl retired from the management after five years of successfully helping build up the company. Wilhelm Wellner remains a member of the management team, which has now grown to include three members.
