Hector Rail was founded in 2004 and is headquartered in Stockholm. Having initially operated services between Sweden and Norway, the company has expanded over the past two decades to establish a presence across Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Germany, becoming the largest private rail freight operator in Scandinavia, HICL said on Monday.
