Container xChange

Container xChange is a logistics technology company founded in November 2015 in Hamburg, Germany, by Christian Roeloffs and Johannes Schlingmeier. It operates an online marketplace for container leasing and trading, addressing the problem of fragmented, offline container sourcing that leaves depots, freight forwarders and logistics companies without transparent pricing or fast matching.

The platform lets registered members search live container inventory, compare prices across depots, and complete leasing or one-way trading deals digitally, backed by market intelligence and price alerts. Container xChange reports tens of thousands of containers listed across North America and Europe, serving container traders, freight forwarders and logistics companies of varying sizes.
