Marine containers transformed for every need
GLS S has been offering for many years the possibility to modify or transform standard shipping containers according to the needs of companies or people. We offer a wide availability of containers of all sizes thanks to our international sales network of new and used containers.

The most common industrial uses of modified containers are for technical rooms for generators, electrical cabinets, cogeneration plants, shelters, warehouses. In the industrial field, containers can also be modified for liquid collection, mobile workshops or laboratories.

Our standard ISO shipping containers are made of welded CorTen steel elements.
You can order new or used containers with your company color or logo, with doors, fixed or tilt windows, partitions, electrical panels, switches and lighting points.
We also offer the option of climate control such as extra ventilation, insulation and air conditioning.
If you prefer a different flooring than the standard wood flooring you can opt for aluminum checkerboard plates or PVC flooring.
Architecture projects and installations
Contemporary architecture applied to containers is one of the youngest and most dynamic specializations. Buildings or commercial premises composed of shipping containers have achieved great popularity because they are quick to install, practical to handle, economical and environmentally friendly.
The cost of a project depends on the customer's needs, however, for standard modifications we offer these rates:
- painting RAL color preferred from 500€;
- customization with company logo from 300€;
- lighting systems from 650€.
Modified containers for every need
There are no limits to the use of modified containers. You can think of using them to create a storage space instead of leasing a warehouse. Or build a sound barrier of containers on a large construction site. Or turn a container into a fully equipped mobile workshop, or an outdoor bar/restaurant or temporary store.
