What Conexwest does

Conexwest is a US-based supplier of new, used, and refurbished ISO shipping containers that sells, rents, and modifies containers for commercial, industrial, government, and consumer end-users. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Lathrop, California (with the original operational base in Oakland), the company operates five company-owned yards at Lathrop, Oakland, and Fontana in California plus Ferris, Texas, and serves customers across 28+ US states. Its customer base spans construction contractors, food and beverage operators, pharmaceutical and biotech firms, agriculture, government and military agencies, retail chains, event producers, and cryptocurrency mining operators, with marquee relationships reportedly including Walmart, Amazon, Google, Tesla, SpaceX, Disney, Whole Foods, Uber, Costco, Red Bull, Shell, Chevron, PG&E, Bechtel, BART, the US Navy, CalFire, and CDCR. Since inception the company reports more than 30,000 delivered orders and a 4.6-star customer rating across 400+ reviews.

The company's core capability is in-house container modification and customization. Fabrication services cover steel man doors, windows, flooring, insulation, HVAC, electrical distribution, plumbing, custom coatings, ventilation, and security installations. Specialized product lines include refrigerated containers with temperature control from -40°F to +70°F and blast freezers reaching -76°F for pharmaceutical and biotech cold-chain applications, as well as a custom MRI laboratory delivered to a California hospital in 2024 that reportedly saved approximately $9 million in construction costs. Conexwest also offers the Conexbuilder online design tool, a self-service configurator allowing customers to design and visualize custom containers before purchase, and has launched Bitcoin mining container units targeting crypto operators with high-density computing, cooling, and power integration. Multiple certifications — ISO 9001, AWS CWF, HCD, SAM.gov, SBA 8(a), ANAB, FDA, NSF, HACCP, and OSHPD compliance for healthcare — gate entry into government and regulated-industry contracts.

Conexwest runs a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model through conexwest.com supplemented by phone-based inside sales and delivers nationwide using its own fleet of tilt-bed, flatbed, and crane trucks. Revenue is generated through six streams: one-time container sales (new, used, refurbished); subscription-based rentals of storage, ground-level offices, and refrigerated containers on monthly terms; custom modification services; parts and accessories; chassis and equipment sales; and managed delivery services. Pricing spans from $99/month for a 40ft High Cube rental to $150,000 for a high-stacker forklift, with custom modifications and refrigerated units (e.g., a 20ft blast freezer at $61,450, a 40ft blast freezer with generator starting at $110,000) quoted separately. The company has scaled operations across 28+ US states supported by the certifications above and an owned depot and delivery infrastructure.

Direct peers

• Falcon Structures: Texas-based manufacturer of modified shipping containers for offices, storage, and specialized uses (blast-resistant, restrooms, etc.). Most direct comparable on container modification capabilities, target customer segments (construction, oil & gas, government), and US delivery model.
• Sea Box, Inc. US manufacturer and modifier of ISO shipping containers with in-house fabrication, custom builds, and depot/yard operations. Closely matches Conexwest's combination of container sales, rentals, custom modifications, and government/military contracting.
• Boxhub: Online marketplace for buying new and used shipping containers across multiple US locations. Comparable direct-to-consumer digital GTM, transparent pricing model, and standard container inventory — overlaps most with Conexwest's e-commerce sales motion and Conexbuilder configurator strategy.
• Southwest Mobile Storage: Regional supplier of portable storage containers for rent and sale in the western/southwestern US with delivery service. Comparable business model in container rental and sales with depot-based operations and similar customer base (construction, commercial).
• Conex Depot / ConexBox: Multi-state US dealer and modifier of shipping containers with online sales, rentals, and custom builds. Closely matches Conexwest's sale/rent/modify tri-motion and US-wide delivery coverage.

Broad incumbents

• Cort Business Services: National provider of furniture rental and modular container/office solutions with large-scale fleet, rental subscriptions, and enterprise sales motion. Comparable at the rental/subscription and ground-level-office level, though broader scope dilutes focus on shipping containers specifically.
• WillScot Mobile Mini: Public national leader in modular space and portable storage with large rental fleet, value-added products, and Fortune 100 enterprise relationships. Overlaps with Conexwest's rental and modified-office offerings at a much larger scale; comparable customer type but broader portfolio (modular buildings + containers).
• United Rentals: Largest US equipment rental company with extensive fleet, refrigerated container and storage solutions, and national footprint. Comparable on the reefer/container rental side and enterprise/government customer motion, though containers are a small slice of UR's overall catalog.
• Mobile Mini (now WillScot): National portable storage container leasing specialist with subscription rental model across the US. Closely comparable rental economics, container-focused product line, and contractor/commercial customer base — though now part of WillScot at much larger scale.
• Triton International: Global leader in intermodal container leasing with large reefer fleet and depot network. Comparable on refrigerated container leasing and depot operations; differs in that Triton leases to ocean carriers at far larger scale, not directly to US SMB/enterprise end users.
