Agreement with F2i Sgr and Fhp Group for entry into Cfi share capital

An agreement has been signed between FS Logistix, F2i, Italy’s leading infrastructure fund, and FHP Group, a company controlled by F2i and specialized in port and rail logistics, to strengthen the intermodal rail freight transport market through the entry of the FS Group company into the share capital of CFI – Compagnia Ferroviaria Italiana.

 

The transaction envisages FS Logistix acquiring a 30% stake in the share capital of CFI, a company controlled by FHP Group and operating as a railway undertaking, within the framework of an industrial project aimed at further enhancing the efficiency of rail logistics services, in line with European objectives for modal rebalancing, energy efficiency and CO₂ reduction. The agreement, signed today, will enable the FS Group company to expand its operational capacity, improve efficiency and enhance service coverage in support of the competitiveness of intermodal rail freight transport.

 

“This transaction opens up new industrial development prospects to respond increasingly effectively to market needs,” said Sabrina De Filippis, CEO of FS Logistix. “Our entry into CFI’s share capital and the concrete actions set out in the agreement will allow us to expand our operational capacity and improve service efficiency. It represents a key element of our growth strategy in the intermodal logistics sector.”

 

“The entry of FS Logistix into CFI is very positive news for the entire rail freight sector and for Mercitalia Rail from an industrial standpoint. It will enable more effective service planning for the development of intermodality,” added Silvio Damagini, CEO of Mercitalia Rail (FS Group).

 

“Thanks to the industrial agreement between the FS Group and F2i, the country’s industrial fabric will benefit from more efficient, reliable and competitive services,” said Renato Ravanelli, CEO of F2i SGR, “with the goal of developing FHP as a pan-European logistics operator capable of competing with road transport and contributing to the achievement of the EU’s modal shift targets for 2030, supporting the transition toward low-carbon logistics.”

 

Paolo Cornetto, CEO of FHP Group, stated: “The agreement signed today is a further step in the growth of the FHP Group, which in 2025 completed the integration of CFI and Lotras and recently acquired control of two additional port terminals in Savona and Torre Annunziata, bringing the total to 10 managed across the country. With today’s transaction, FHP will strengthen its ability to offer integrated port-rail services and facilitate the modal shift from road to rail, with positive environmental and energy impacts.”
