History
Holland Container Innovations B.V. (HCI) was established early 2008 as a spinoff from the Delft University of Technology to successfully market the idea for a foldable container. Since then HCI has made a quick development that has resulted in the first full-size prototype early March 2009. In June 2011 HCI has received CSC certification for the newest prototype. HCI is now preparing production in Asia for the first series of the foldable container, which is expected to start early 2012. HCI is currently located in the YES!Delft incubator.
Vision
HCI has a clear vision for the coming years. In the years ahead, even despite the economic challenges facing the world economy today, containerized transport will keep on growing. In combination with exponential growth of trade imbalances in the world, the issue of rising costs for unproductive repositioning and storage of empty containers will increase accordingly. Combined with the global need to reduce CO2 emissions strongly, Holland Container Innovations will make a compelling difference.
Future
The core competency of HCI is Research & Development (R&D). HCI focuses on delivering new products to the container market using excellent engineering. The first product is the HCI Foldable Container. When this product is successfully launched, more products for the container market will follow. HCI plays an active role in marketing, but aims to limit the involvement in the other parts of business by creating strong partnerships and employing a smart business model. This allows HCI to use its core competencies effectively.
