Our history
1978 – Foundation of the CHS Container Group
CHS Container Handel und Service GmbH is founded, coinciding with the growing importance of sea freight containers in international logistics.
In 1979, Werner Pöser joined CHS Container Handel und Service GmbH as a commercial employee, just one year after its foundation in 1978. As an authorized signatory in 1986 and later as Managing Director in 1995, supported by the Feldhausen family, the development and expansion of the CHS Container Group was significantly advanced.
1980s – Pioneer in the container trade
Back in the early 1980s, we were one of the first companies in Europe to develop a comprehensive range of services over and above the pure trade in sea containers. From repairs and customized storage solutions to worldwide rental – CHS sets new standards in the container industry at an early stage.
2004 – Foundation of CHS Spezialcontainer – Shelter and Engineering GmbH
With the founding of CHS Spezialcontainer, we have expanded our portfolio to include customized container solutions. Under the responsible management of Stefan Kanowski, we offer individual solutions for special requirements. This expansion has strengthened our position as an innovative provider and enables us to respond even more specifically to the special needs of our customers.
Expansion and globalization
With the continuous expansion of our services and international locations, we have developed into a globally active company. Today, our solutions are in demand in many global markets.
CHS today
Under the leadership of Frank Pöser and Christian Leopold, with Werner Pöser and Carsten Leopold as managing consultants, we offer innovative and flexible container solutions for worldwide use – and continue to be a pioneer in the industry.
“Our philosophy is based on long-term relationships that we maintain with both our customers and our employees. Together we work on solutions that are precisely tailored to the needs of our customers. Our commitment to quality and reliability is the key to our success and growth worldwide.”
