History
editIn 1993, TIP was acquired by GE Capital. With GE Capital, TIP expanded its European network. In 2007, TIP expanded its offer by introducing services like maintenance and repair services as well as telematics. In October 2013, TIP was acquired by HNA Group, a Chinese conglomerate. In 2016, TIP Trailer Services Group acquired Train Trailer Rental Ltd,[4] a Canadian provider of trailer rentals, leasing and storage. In that same year TIP acquired Dutch rental and leasing company Twan Heetkamp Trailers (THT),[5] which had a fleet of around 3,000 trailers operating across Europe.
In 2018, HNA Group sold its European TIP subsidiary to I Squared Capital[6] for a sum of around €1 billion.[7] In August 2018, I Squared Capital (ISQ) acquired 100 percent interest in TIP.[citation needed]
In 2022, TIP introduced the trademark name "TIP Group" to reflect the full business entities, activities and geographical scope, and the diverse fleets of various assets.[citation needed]
