    Why Toulouse businesses choose our containers

    Toulouse brings together industries with very different requirements — aerospace, large-scale construction, food processing, distribution logistics — that all share constraints around secure storage, on-site flexibility and tight lead times. It's precisely to meet these concrete needs, with no long-term lease commitment, that businesses in the region choose the shipping container as an operational solution.

    Industry

    Aerospace parts storage for the aerospace industry in Toulouse

    Airbus in Blagnac, ATR, Safran in Colomiers, Thales Alenia Space: Toulouse's aerospace industry handles expensive and often oversized parts. These sites regularly run short of buffer space to absorb flows. Humidity, dust and theft: three risks that must be eliminated before storing anything.

    A 40 ft High Cube container offers 76 m³, enclosed, ventilated and lockable. It's placed on a factory yard within hours. With racking, lighting and anti-condensation treatment, it becomes a compliant warehouse extension. Under 3 months of use: no permit to apply for.

    Construction

    Site facilities and construction storage for the building trade in Toulouse

    Third metro line, Toulouse Aerospace, Montaudran, urban renewal: major construction projects follow one another across the metropolitan area. Each one requires tools, PPE and small equipment that needs protecting. Theft on site remains a recurring loss item, and no insurer reimburses production downtime.

    A 20 ft last-trip container is placed on site and secures equipment from the first night. Fitted-out version: changing room, break room, site office for the team. The module is moved by container truck to the next site, without going back through the depot.

    Agri-food

    Maintaining the cold chain for the food industry in Toulouse

    The food industry in Haute-Garonne is growing (+4% turnover in 2024). Processors, wholesalers and restaurateurs all share the same constraint: continuously tracked temperature. A seasonal peak that overloads cold rooms, work on an existing installation, and stock is at risk.

    A reefer container holds -25°C to +25°C on a three-phase 380V socket. You deploy it as backup cold storage for the duration of a peak, or as a stand-in during works. Available in 20 ft and 40 ft, with continuous temperature logging for traceability.

    Logistics

    Storage space for logistics and distribution in Toulouse

    Eurocentre brings together 100 transport and logistics companies across 300 hectares, 20 km north of Toulouse. Three times a year — back-to-school, holidays, sales — volumes explode. You need extra square metres within 48 hours. A conventional lease ties you in for several years: a poor response to a one-off peak.

    A container is delivered within 24 to 48 hours and can be stacked 2 levels high. A few units lined up create an expandable storage space, which you scale down once the peak passes. You pay for the volume used, not for floor space fixed for the year.

    Defense

    Secure storage for the space and defence industries in Toulouse

    CNES, Airbus Defence and Space, Thales: Toulouse is the heart of European space and defence. These players handle classified or high-value equipment. Protocols require enclosed, break-in-resistant, traceable storage. And access constraints on these sites make any heavy construction almost impossible.

    A shipping container is built to withstand the sea, stacking and heavy handling. Corten steel, locking closure, reinforced lockbox: the industrial safe is there from delivery. It also works as a containment airlock or a controlled changing area on sensitive sites.

    Port access

    Toulouse and the Grand Port Maritime de Bordeaux: your direct access to shipping containers

    The Port of Bordeaux — a leading container hub

    Bordeaux is the leading commercial port in south-west France. Its Bassens terminal handles 20,000 TEU a year. CMA CGM calls there every week via a feeder service connected to major European hubs — more than 300 ports worldwide on arrival.

    We source directly from Bassens, 245 km from Toulouse (2h30 via the A62). Fos-sur-Mer (1.5 million TEU/year) rounds out supply via the A61 then the A9. For you, that means two ports, a wide stock, and reliable lead times.

    Transport routes and access to Toulouse

    Toulouse is a major motorway crossroads for south-west France. Five motorways converge on the metropolitan area, connecting it to the main French ports. The Eurocentre multimodal platform (20 km north) combines rail, road and motorway for freight.
