The story

PTKiGK Rybnik emerged from the company ZTKiGK, that started operation in 1965, taking care of mainly stone transport.

In 1994, the company was privatised and went public under the name PTKiGK.

In 2007, the main part of shares was taken over by the PCC Rail group; on 8 October 2008, the name was changed to the PCC Rail Rybnik.

Acquisition by Deutsche Bahn

On 30 January 2009, PCC's president Waldemar Preussner sold PCC Rail S.A. to Deutsche Bahn, the German national railway company. PCC Rail is slated to become a part of DB Schenker Rail's Eastern European operations. After the transaction was finalized, the name of the company was changed to DB Schenker Rail Rybnik S.A.
