When I sold my first container more than 30 years ago, something happened to me. These metal giants now remind me of the big wide world out there every day. Globalization, global economy, pirates and people from all over the world. They tell me their stories every day. I've never heard the same story twice.
People are alike. But deep down inside there's more to each and every one of them than you can see. Potential and talents. Are containers people? Not exactly, yet somehow they are. For decades I've been fascinated by polishing up these “rough diamonds”.
They have always been the foundation of this company. But where do we draw the line between tradition and stagnation? Between constancy and progress? The world is permanently changing. And always has done. I'm young and have no prejudices. The link between the present and the future. For you, for us, for containers
