The History of Shipping Containers and Their Role in Global Trade
Years ago, 1998 to be specific, an entrepreneur in Wichita, KS, started a company that leased shipping containers to construction sites to be used as onsite portable storage. He knew that there was a need for secure storage on worksites and that the ability to go between the site and a storage facility was a luxury that not every worksite manager could afford. It needed to be on the worksite and secure. That's how "A Box 4 U," the company that eventually became SiteBox Storage, was "born." A few years later, mobile office units were added. A few years after that... well, you get the picture. But it all started with shipping containers.
