FAGSI

What FAGSI does

FAGSI Vertriebs- und Vermietungs-GmbH is a German provider of temporary modular buildings supplied through rental and outright sale, operating since 1980 within the ALHO Gruppe (founded 1967). The company maintains approximately 30,000 units in circulation and has realized roughly 400,000 m² of space, with five regional branches across Germany plus a dedicated FAGSI Bau division in Krefeld and owned subsidiaries in France and Switzerland. Active markets include Germany, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.

The product portfolio is structured by deployment duration: ProBASIC (up to 24 months), ProENERGY (24–60 months, optimized for energy efficiency), ProCOMFORT (60+ months, premium long-term fit-out), and ProECO (cost-optimized for price-sensitive tenders). Modular configurations can integrate photovoltaic arrays, hybrid heating/cooling, and tailored interior fit-out. FAGSI holds the first project-related type approval (vBG) for container buildings in Germany (obtained 2022), alongside RAL-Gütezeichen Mobile Raumsysteme certification, Made in Germany PRO QUALITY status, and a 2025 EcoVadis Committed rating. Manufacturing is anchored at sister company ProContain GmbH in Sörnewitz, supplemented by a new production hall at Morsbach-Lichtenberg commissioned in 2025.

Revenue is generated primarily through long- and short-term leases of the modular building stock to five customer segments: municipalities and government, education (schools and universities), childcare (Kitas), the construction industry, and corporate offices. Go-to-market is direct, executed through the regional branch network and international subsidiaries rather than via intermediaries, and certifications are leveraged explicitly to win ESG- and quality-scored public-sector tenders. The business model is asset-heavy and rental-led, with revenue tied to utilization of the 30,000-unit fleet and contract mix across duration tiers.

Core offering

FAGSI manufactures, rents, and sells temporary container and modular buildings for commercial, educational, governmental, and industrial customers across Germany and select European markets. The company offers four product lines (ProBASIC up to 24 months, ProENERGY 24-60 months, ProCOMFORT 60+ months, ProECO economical) plus add-on solar/photovoltaic systems and equipment, with full general contractor services covering consultation, design, permitting, construction, and maintenance.

Product overview

FAGSI offers temporary buildings for rent or purchase through five standardized product lines: ProENERGY (energy-efficient containers for 24-60 month solutions), ProCOMFORT (modular buildings for long-term rental from 60 months), ProBASIC (individual containers for temporary solutions up to 24 months), and ProECO (economical standard containers), along with solar modules as an add-on. The company operates two core construction approaches: container construction (Temporärer Containerbau) using standardized prefabricated units up to three stories, and modular construction (Temporärer Modulbau) offering variable dimensions for more complex building designs. FAGSI functions as a general contractor providing end-to-end services from consultation through planning, execution, and maintenance. Buildings serve diverse use cases including offices/administration, education (kindergartens, schools, universities), accommodations/housing, and construction sites.
