Gold Container Corporation

GOLD Container Corporation was created in 1983 in San Francisco. Initially it concentracted only on special equipment (like flat racks and open top containers) leasing. In 1987 GOLD Container Corporation was purchased by a French group names TOUAX, listed on the Paris stock exchange. This sound financial backing has allowed GOLD Container Corporation to undertake a major investment program and to focus its activities on the leasing of 20’, 40’ and 40’HC dry freight containers with a world-wide coverage. GOLD Container Corporation established strong commercial agreements with container manufacturers throughout the world in order to obtain high quality equipment allowing GOLD Container Corporation to deliver new equipment according to our customers’ requirement with preferential production schedules at competitive prices.

SHIPPING CONTAINER LEASING IN THE INTERNATIONAL MARKET

Over the past several years the container has become the ideal method for transporting all goods, liquid or solid, whether by river, sea or land. The container leasing market continues to grow as a result of the internationalisation of trade and increasingly widespread use of this transport method.
The container business is a sector with high development potential for the future and we plan to reach a fleet size of 300,000 TEUS within 3 years.
The TOUAX Group and its subsidiary GOLD CONTAINER CORP. manages 220,000 TEUS at the end of 2003 making it the 10th in the world, in the maritime container leasing market. Gold Container Corp. offers a very young fleet of high standard containers, with an average age of 3.5 years. 95% of our containers are 30T tested and manufactured with full corten steel.
