What Bory, S.r.o. does
BÔRY, s.r.o. is a Slovak private limited liability company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Žilina that sells and distributes new, first-way, and used ISO shipping containers across Central Europe. Its product range spans the standard ISO size matrix (20'DC, 20'HC, 40'DC, 40'HC, 45'HC) in three condition grades — Cargo Worthy used (10–15 years), IICL near-new (2–3 years), and First Way — alongside refrigerated/freezer units (20'RF, 40'HC RF) fitted with Thermoking or Carrier cooling systems, proprietary galvanized connection hardware (UpBridge and UpLock), and value-added modification, transportation, and buyback services. The underlying technology is largely commodity: containers are manufactured from COR-TEN weather-resistant steel with standard ISO corner castings enabling stacking of up to nine units (260 tonnes on the bottom unit), polyurethane insulation (10–12 cm) for refrigerated variants, and aluminum T-bar or plywood flooring.
The company operates five warehouse locations — Žilina, Bratislava, Košice, and Bretejovce in Slovakia, plus Praha in the Czech Republic — and delivers across Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Germany, Austria, and Italy. Its go-to-market is sales-led: a physical showroom in Žilina (ul. Za Plavárňou 15), outbound calling by a small named sales team, and a website-driven price-quote request form. Pricing is unit-based (used 20' from ~€3,000 ex-VAT; 40' from ~€4,000 ex-VAT; loading fee €35 ex-VAT), with revenue mechanics structured around one-time container sales plus ancillary delivery and modification fees. The customer base of 7,000+ annually is highly fragmented across private individuals (personal storage), SMEs (inventory and equipment storage), commercial real estate owners (rental-storage arbitrage), and emerging niche segments such as residential container housing, mobile solar power, and urban agriculture. Cumulative volume exceeds 200,000 m² of storage area sold, positioning Bôry as the self-described market leader in Slovak container sales. Headcount is stated at 1–10 employees and no external funding rounds are referenced.
