Our Company

Big Box Containers was formed in Johannesburg in 1997. We opened a Cape Town branch, now our head office, in 1999 and due to high demand established an office in Durban in early 2010.

In April 2007, the existing management and Private Equity firm, Spirit Capital, acquired a 70% interest in Big Box Containers (Pty) Ltd. With this acquisition, Big Box Containers obtained BEE credentials through the investment company, Thembeka Capital, a shareholder in Spirit Capital.

Today, we have South Africa’s largest range of new and refurbished containers for sale or hire.

Our Vision / Mission

It is our aim to be the first choice for shipping container sales, hire and modification in South Africa.

To achieve this, we have a firm commitment to our customers to deliver expert advice and excellent service from the most experienced people in the business; to offer guaranteed quality and reliability; and to maintain the highest ethical standards.

In the running of our business, we support innovation, the development of our people through our Corporate Social Investment programme and the growth of our brand and business.
