Falcon Lease

What Falcon Lease does

Falcon Lease Pte. Ltd. is a Singapore-incorporated international lessor of ISO tank containers used for intermodal transport and storage of bulk liquid cargo, primarily chemical and food-grade liquids. The company was founded in late 2019 by Mike Cooper and has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sasser Family Holdings since September 2021. Falcon's core technology is a fleet of close to 9,000 ISO tanks (owned and managed) representing more than $160M in cumulative investment, comprising Standard (T11/T14), T50 Gas, Baffled, Reefer, Swap Bodies, and Special configurations with capacities from 21,000 to 35,000 liters and a stated 20+ year service life with 93%+ renewable/reusable materials.

The company's commercial offering spans four leasing structures: Operating Leases, Finance Leases, Sale-and-Leaseback, and Customized Lease Solutions, including new-build specifications. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring lease payments on the physical asset base, supplemented by sale-and-leaseback transactions and bespoke fleet programs. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to individual customer requirements rather than published. Falcon goes to market through an enterprise direct-sales motion staffed by a global team with regional commercial coverage in EMEI, China, and the Americas, marketing primarily via the corporate website and direct inquiry channels. The company's stated primary customers are global chemical and food & beverage enterprises requiring bulk liquid transport solutions, with sustainability credentials (EcoVadis Silver 2024, Bronze 2026) increasingly positioned as a procurement differentiator.

Falcon's parent, Sasser Family Holdings, is a fourth-generation U.S. transportation conglomerate (founded 1928) that provides long-duration capital and corporate backing. Management combines more than 100 years of container shipping experience across President, Senior VP Operations, VP Marketing, senior directors of finance and credit risk, and regional marketing managers. Headcount in the Singapore entity is reported at 1-10, consistent with a lean operating model leveraging Sasser group infrastructure while running a global commercial franchise.
