CHOMEX

What CHOMEX does

CHOMEX (legal entity CHOMEX CORP) is a US-based manufacturer and direct-to-consumer retailer of expandable modular container homes, founded in 2023 and headquartered in Brooklyn, NY. Its core technology is a dual-wing fold-out architecture using EPS color steel composite panels (Type 950) that compresses into a standard highway-compliant shipping footprint and expands on-site to deliver roughly three times the width of traditional fixed container homes, enabling a 1-hour setup with pre-installed wiring, plumbing, and lighting. The product line spans five residential models (J. Carter Pod at 195 SF, Duo Mod at 385 SF, Haven Nest at 585 SF, Vista Bode at 775-800 SF, and Grand Luxe at 865 SF), commercial variants (container offices and portable classrooms), and accessories including a 5.94KW solar/wind off-grid power package and a folding modular garage, with prices ranging from $8,998 to $69,995 per unit.

The company operates a pure DTC e-commerce model through its Shopify storefront at containerhomex.com with free nationwide shipping in the continental US, supplemented by phone/text sales support (1-561-424-6639) and targeted at five primary buyer segments: individual homeowners seeking ADUs or affordable primary residences, short-term rental investors (Airbnb/VRBO), off-grid and remote-living enthusiasts, commercial buyers needing portable offices or classrooms, and outdoor recreation buyers (hunting cabins, beach cabins). Revenue is generated entirely through one-time unit sales plus accessory add-ons, with average selling price near $36,000.

CHOMEX is a sub-10-employee private company with no institutional funding rounds disclosed. It pursues a low-cost customer acquisition strategy anchored on content marketing, SEO, social media (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter), and earned media coverage in outlets including AP News, Business Insider, CBS 42, FOX 47, and IBTimes. Financing partnerships with Hearth (rates from 7.99% APR, 2-12 year terms, credit scores as low as 550) and Edbar Credit extend accessibility to credit-constrained buyers. The company holds BBB Accreditation, THIA membership, ISO 9001 certification, 3 patents pending for its fold-out technology, and a broad portfolio of structural and quality certifications (UL, EN standards, GB/T, ILAC-MRA, IAF MLA, CNAS).
