Highly Engaged Employees

Since 1987, when Florens delivered its first container under long-term lease, the company has steadily increased the company's commitment to the global shipping industry. Early on, the company focused on the supply of dry and refrigerated containers on long-term leases for Asian-based accounts, particularly Cosco. In 1992, the company invested in c... ontainers as part of third party management programs. By 1995, the company's customer base for long-term units expanded to carriers outside of Asia. In 1996, the company's organization expanded globally by opening offices and depots worldwide. At the same time, master and short-term leases were added to the portfolio. Open-tops and flat-racks were added to the expanding dry-cargo and refrigerated container fleets. Not only are the company positioned to deal with the leasing sector of the company's industry, but the company also offer a full array of used containers for sale around the world.
