Weissenberger, currently a non-executive director on the Board of the Cronos Group, has been named acting Chairman and CEO. Cronos is one of the five largest lessors of intermodal containers, owning and managing a fleet of over 375,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), including both company-owned units and containers managed for third party owners.
