Triton International

What Triton International does

Triton International Limited is the world's largest intermodal container leasing company, operating a fleet of more than 7 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of intermodal shipping containers and chassis. Founded in 1962 and headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda, the company leases and sells high-quality intermodal shipping containers and related equipment to the world's major shipping lines through a global network of more than 400 independent third-party depots and offices spanning the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Triton was acquired by Brookfield Infrastructure Partners in a $13.3 billion take-private transaction in September 2023, although its preference shares and senior notes continue to trade on the NYSE, and it continues to operate as an active going concern.

The company's revenue is generated primarily through three streams: recurring container leasing (short-term and long-term leases of intermodal containers), one-time container sales (new and used), and recurring chassis leasing and sales under the TAL International sub-brand. Customers are predominantly large global and regional shipping lines, with pricing negotiated individually under long-term enterprise relationships rather than published tiers. Triton operates a B2B enterprise go-to-market supported by a regional sales network across 25+ cities, a Triton Sales Portal for real-time inventory and transaction management, and TAL-branded customer self-service and tracking tools. In July 2025, Triton completed the acquisition of Global Container International, and in January 2026 it raised $175 million via Series G preference shares and $600 million via senior notes due 2033, signaling continued capital deployment for fleet expansion and debt management.
