    Why Perpignan businesses choose our containers

    Perpignan brings together industries with very different requirements — cold-chain food processing, winegrowing with plant-protection products, construction, cross-border transit — all coexisting across a territory of 13,700 companies. At this logistics crossroads between the A9, the Spanish border and Port-Vendres, local businesses use containers to solve concrete constraints: storing fruit and vegetables under controlled temperature at Saint-Charles, securing plant-protection products in a confined area, or setting up site facilities where fixed infrastructure is absent or too costly.

    Agri-food

    Temperature-controlled storage for the food industry in Perpignan

    The Moroccan citrus season in January. The Spanish strawberry season in spring. The Roussillon melon season in summer. Saint-Charles International runs through one delivery peak after another, and at every peak, the cold rooms are full. A pallet of strawberries at 20°C for 4 hours is a lost pallet. Fixed warehouses can't stretch.

    A reefer container plugs into a 380V socket and holds -25°C to +25°C continuously. Delivered within 48 hours, it absorbs the peak of the day, the week or the season. It goes back to the depot once the season passes. Zero construction work, zero cold room to build for three months of use a year.

    Construction site security in Perpignan

    The tramontane wind blows for more than 130 days a year in Roussillon, with gusts exceeding 100 km/h. On a coastal site, anything not tied down blows away. Add night-time theft and vandalism, and construction businesses in Perpignan (6,900 companies, 10,600 employees) lose equipment every week.

    A 20 ft Corten steel container doesn't budge under the tramontane: 2 tonnes empty, anti-pry lock, fully watertight. Tools, cabling, consumables stay dry and warm. In the fitted-out version, teams get a changing room and break room even in strong wind. It's easily moved from one site to another by truck.

    Import-export

    Goods storage and transit for logistics and import-export in Perpignan

    A freight forwarder in Perpignan sees 40 pallets arrive on a Monday and redistributes them over the week to Belgium, Germany, the south-east. The flow is unpredictable: sometimes 60 pallets, sometimes 20. Renting an extra 500 m² of warehouse on an annual lease to cover the peak means overpaying for 10 months out of 12.

    A 20 ft or 40 ft ISO-standard container fits into any logistics chain: forklift, container truck, stackable. You buy two, three or ten depending on your baseline flow, and store them on your business park. Capacity follows volume, not the other way round. Payback is much faster than an annual rent.

    Secure storage of plant-protection products for winegrowing in Perpignan

    The law is clear: plant-protection products must be stored in an enclosed, ventilated, bunded space away from homes. A winegrower in the Roussillon plain or the Aspres, inspected by DRAAF without a compliant space, risks a fine and losing certification. Building a dedicated space takes months and costs a lot.

    A fitted-out container ticks every box: built-in bund, forced or natural ventilation, lockable door. Installed on the estate in half a day, no permit needed under 3 months. Outside the plant-protection season, it stores pumps, hoses and grape-harvest crates. One piece of equipment, two uses a year.

    Site facilities and storage for tourism and events in Perpignan

    April: a campsite in Argelès opens its doors for six months. July: a festival sets up its ticket office on the coast. August: mountain rescue teams deploy their seasonal base. In October, everything comes down. Events and tourism in the Pyrénées-Orientales run to the rhythm of the summer season, and permanent structures don't make sense.

    A container becomes a ticket office, a technical room, a changing room or equipment storage. Delivered and installed within hours, dismantled at the end of the season, stored or moved elsewhere. It holds up ten times better than a standard site cabin against windy winters and 38°C summers. Unbeatable annualised cost for seasonal use.

    Port access

    Perpignan and the Port of Port-Vendres: your direct access to shipping containers

    The Port of Port-Vendres — a leading container hub

    Port-Vendres is the only deep-water port in Pyrénées-Orientales and the 2nd largest fruit port in the Mediterranean (300,000 tonnes/year, 25,000 TEU). It's the closest French port to the African coast — Morocco arrives here every week via CMA-CGM. Since 2024, the Compagnie Port-Vendraise has managed the container and roll-on/roll-off terminals.

    We source directly from the terminals. The result for businesses in Perpignan: a wide stock, aligned prices, 30 km of road (35 min) to collect a container.

    Transport routes and access to Perpignan

    What is the delivery time for a container in Perpignan?

    We deliver to Perpignan within 48 to 72 hours depending on stock availability. Transport is carried out by container truck from Port-Vendres or our partner depots. Delivery covers the whole of the Pyrénées-Orientales department.

    Do you need a permit to install a container in Perpignan?

    For a temporary installation of less than 3 months, no authorisation is generally required. Beyond that, a prior planning declaration is required. For a permanent installation, a building permit may be required under Perpignan's local urban plan (PLU). Check with Perpignan town hall's planning department before any lasting installation.

    Can I buy a used container in Perpignan?

    Yes. National Conteneur offers containers in three conditions. The new container (first-trip) is in perfect condition, used only once. The used container is inspected and guaranteed watertight. The last-trip container is the most economical, ideal for fixed storage. Every container is checked before delivery.

    We offer the standard formats: 20 ft (6.06 m × 2.44 m × 2.59 m, ~33 m³), 40 ft (12.19 m × 2.44 m × 2.59 m, ~67 m³), 40 ft High Cube (height 2.90 m, ~76 m³) and reefer (refrigerated) containers in 20 ft and 40 ft. Other special formats are available on request.
