FOLD CONTAINER

Foldable Containers(FOLDCON)

Leading the innovation in international maritime transportation with foldable containers.

FOLDCON is an innovative foldable container that combines ergonomic design inspired by human joints with groundbreaking technology. While its dimensions are the same as conventional containers, it can be folded to reduce its volume by 1/4, enabling cost-effective and eco-friendly transportation.

  • Improved Spatial Efficiency

    The transportation capacity of maritime, rail, and land transportation increases by four times, and the empty container storage capacity of harbors, inland terminals, warehouses, etc., also increases by four times with foldable containers.

  • Increased Productivity per Hour

    Shortened cycle period of foldable containers enhances time utilization, enabling on-time supply to proper destinations. Loading and unloading speeds of empty foldable containers are also increased by four times.

  • Environmental Benefits

    With four times the loading capacity Empty foldable containers, the number of transport vehicles decreases by 1/4. This reduction in vehicle operation leads to carbon emission reduction and energy savings.

FOLDCON

Since the birth of the revolutionary Dry Container in 1956, the logistics industry has faced numerous challenges. Particularly in terms of trade volume, there are various inefficiencies such as intercontinental imbalances, rapid increase in container transportation volume, and rising costs of logistics infrastructure investments. In order to address these issues, a newly evolved concept of Foldable Container, called FOLDCON, has emerged.

Intercontinental freight volume disparities

  • Deepening intercontinental freight volume disparities :
    The trade ratio between Asia and North America is approximately 6.3:3.7, while the ratio between Asia and Europe is 6.8:3.2.
  • Increasing uncollected volume of empty containers
  • Excessive economic losses due to the logistics process of empty containers
  • Rising costs of logistics infrastructure investments due to limited container storage area
