Where to buy a shipping container in Canada?
For over three decades, our family-owned shipping container company has played a leading role in the portable storage and shipping container industry in Canada. Our journey began in Montreal when our founder, Tony, recognized the untapped potential of upcycling steel shipping containers into durable, secure, and versatile storage solutions. With a clear vision and hands-on approach, ATS Containers was established to serve businesses and individuals looking for reliable container solutions.
From the very beginning, ATS has focused on selling, renting, and modifying shipping containers to meet real-world needs. As demand grew, so did our footprint. Today, we operate across multiple cities throughout Canada, supporting a wide range of industries while remaining true to the values of a close-knit, family-run enterprise. Our growth has never come at the expense of quality, accountability, or personal service.
While we take pride in our roots, we hold ourselves to the same rigorous standards as large national corporations. ATS is fully committed to complying with Canadian legislation, labour laws, and industry best practices, ensuring safe operations, ethical partnerships, and consistent quality across all locations. This commitment reflects our belief that excellence starts from within.
At the heart of our business is a strong dedication to our employees, vendors, and customers. We value long-term relationships built on trust, transparency, and reliability. Every interaction — from the first inquiry to delivery and beyond — is guided by our promise to deliver exceptional service and practical shipping container solutions. It’s not just what we do; it’s who we are and how we do business.
