What MODULCO does

MODULCO is a Belgian private limited company (SPRL) founded in 1979 and headquartered in Strépy-Bracquegnies, Hainaut. The company designs, sells, and rents modular containers and habitable modules, serving customers across Belgium and Luxembourg. With more than 45 years of continuous operation and a workforce of approximately 15-30 employees, MODULCO occupies a regional niche in the modular construction market, addressing use cases that span offices, schools, construction site facilities, commercial spaces, industrial units, event structures, sanitary modules, workshops, storage containers, and fully custom configurations.

The product portfolio is organized across four tiers: BE60 (standard configurations), BE100 (premium customization line), Premium (fully customizable solutions), and Maritime (marine-grade modules). Underlying capability combines in-house fabrication with custom configuration engineering, supported by a logistics fleet that includes an electric forklift acquired in 2024. Unit pricing ranges from EUR 1,490 for entry-level units to EUR 12,500 for higher-value configurations, indicating a deliberate spread across commodity and bespoke price points.

MODULCO operates a dual revenue model combining outright sales and rentals (both short- and long-term), with a rental-to-ownership pathway. The customer base is enterprise-grade and sectorally diverse, including bpost (postal services), Brico (retail), Infrabel (railway infrastructure), ENGIE (energy), Wanty (construction), RTBF (broadcasting), Assa Abloy (industrial hardware), and Sotrelco (electrical contracting). The company remains privately held with no stock symbol and has not disclosed financials; engagement is project-based with site delivery, custom configuration, and after-sales service as core delivery mechanics.
