Precision-engineered, ISO-compliant 40-foot Corten structural modules, turnkey living units, and custom high-cube developments meeting strict Swiss SIA standards and alpine thermal thresholds.
Explore our certified 40-foot and modular product portfolio tailored for high snow loads, extreme insulation (Minergie compatibility), and versatile alpine site installations across Zurich, Geneva, Basel, and the alpine cantons.
The procurement of 40-foot shipping containers in Switzerland is dominated by extreme terrain requirements, strict land planning laws (RPG / LAT), and rigorous cantonal energy standards.
40-foot High Cube containers configured as glamping micro-residences for high-altitude ski areas. Reinforced roof structures resist snow accumulation up to 4.5 kN/m² in strict compliance with SIA 261 standards. Integrated with aerogel or PIR thermal bridging to prevent condensation in sub-zero climates.
Modified 40-foot Corten structures deployed in Lucerne, Bern, and St. Gallen as decentralized battery storage systems (BESS) and telecommunication enclosures. Features factory-tested fire retention up to EI 60/90, certified penetrations, and vibration-dampened flooring for heavy power packs.
Multi-story modular offices and student accommodation utilizing combined 40-foot shells. Prefabricated MEP channels aligned with Swiss SEV electrical safety norms and sound insulation standards (SIA 181), minimizing on-site disruption in dense cantonal building zones.
Eliminating middlemen, trading houses, and speculative margins through vertically integrated production.
Rooted in real-world fabrication since 2015, our direct factory workflows eliminate the common disconnect between European architects and Asian manufacturers. From structural cutting, heavy reinforcement framing, and ISO-corner casting verification to thermal envelope application and final finishes, every step occurs under one continuous roof.
Standard export containers fail Swiss building permits due to thermal bridging. We apply factory-installed PIR sandwich boards, continuous Rockwool cores, or closed-cell polyurethane spray foam yielding U-values as low as 0.15 W/m²K, ready for validation by Swiss cantonal energy certifiers without complex retrofits.
Direct river barge routing from Basel Rhine port or dry-port clearance via Hamburg/Rotterdam directly through Swiss rail depots. We pre-coordinate transit clearances, T1 customs formalities, EUR.1 preferential certificates (benefiting from the Swiss-China Free Trade Agreement), and drop-deck deliveries with specialized crane setups.
