GATX Rail Europe is gearing up to give the rail transport market a significant boost. Our efforts last year were aimed towards becoming a Market-Driven Sales Organization, which has brought us closer to you, our valued customers. This year is all about enhancing efficiency and understanding your needs better than ever before, which is why we brought our Sales teams together in Warsaw. The rooms were filled with fresh faces, bold strategies were spun, and enthusiasm was boundless.

Team Trainings to make Railcar Leasing easier for you
With new faces and last year’s team shuffles, we are making sure that our sales team is adequately prepared to respond to your transport needs swiftly and accurately. Our sales meeting equipped the team with the latest insights and objectives, and caught everyone up on the latest innovation topics and market trends, with a focus on intermodal and new energy transports, topics supported by our external guests. Beyond that, we’ve put special emphasis on training our staff on digital tools for greater efficiency, including our new telematics portal – have you accessed it already to plan your transports more effectively?
