SoCo Soft Container ® is foldable transport container, extremely light, but however strong, easy to handle, and when it is empty, it fits easily in a small place.

SoCo weights only some 25 % of the weight of a steel container that are in use nowadays. When SoCo-transport container is empty it is folded in a small place to return.
Many empty and folded containers according to the new invention can be carried at the same time for instance in a railway carriage or in a container itself to the loading place.

Now and in the future when energy costs are high the savings in transportation costs can be remarkable.

SoCo creates your company the possibility to build up the most optimal and ecological inter- or multimodal transport chain from row material sources.
