The ECB Group expands to the UK.

The ECB Group, based in The Netherlands, that supplies steel shipping containers to the moving industry, widely used for containerised and self storage, is expanding its operations in the UK.

The company originally supplied to the international maritime and shipping industries but has now diversified to include the sale and lease of new and used maritime containers for storage purposes throughout Europe.

For the last year the company has been working on developing a network of depots in major UK ports: Liverpool, Southampton, Tilbury and Felixstowe. They will all be operated from the head office in Rotterdam.

The new depots will offer UK customers a better service with keener pricing and than has been possible in the past.  They will also be able to provide a local service for repairs, modifications and spraying. UK operations have already started and the company expects to have the network completed during the first half of 2012.
