Core offering

ProContain manufactures and sells modular steel-frame container buildings under four branded product lines (ProECO, ProBASIC, ProENERGY, ProFLATPACK) plus specialized Technikcontainer for technical equipment. Containers are produced at two German facilities (Coswig and Morsbach-Lichtenberg) and sold directly or through trade and rental partners across Europe for applications including construction sites, offices, education facilities, housing, and technical infrastructure.

Product overview

ProContain offers a modular container building system with four distinct product lines designed for different applications and stand times. The core portfolio includes ProECO (economical standard container for temporary use), ProBASIC (flexible container for applications up to 24 months), ProENERGY (energy-efficient container for stand times over 24 months meeting GEG requirements), and ProFLATPACK (disassemblable variant for cost-effective transport). An additional ProLife line serves custom requirements. Product dimensions follow ISO container standards with lengths of 3.0m to 14.646m, widths of 2.5m to 3.0m, and heights of 2.5m to 3.25m. Containers are manufactured exclusively in Germany at facilities in Coswig (Saxony) and Morsbach-Lichtenberg (North Rhine-Westphalia), featuring steel frame construction with various facade options including sandwich panels, profile sheet, and cassette facades.
