Creative Shipping Container Projects in Montreal: Events, Art, and Innovation

At ATS Containers, our units serve more than just storage purposes. For years, we have spearheaded creative shipping container projects that place our units at the heart of the most unique and inspiring initiatives—ranging from artistic installations and exclusive VIP events to film sets and high-end brand collaborations.


Montreal Grand Prix & Lamborghini: Containers in the Spotlight

During the Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend, Lamborghini Montreal hosted an exclusive VIP watch party. Our containers became a central part of the event’s atmosphere, adding a chic, industrial touch to the luxury setting. This isn’t our first appearance at the track; during previous GP weekends, brands like Mercedes have used our units as high-profile display platforms for their vehicles.


Bota Bota Spa: Containers for Wellness

If you have ever visited the iconic Bota Bota spa in the Old Port, you may have relaxed inside an ATS container. We modified several units to serve as outdoor facilities, integrating them into the spa’s unique design to create a tranquil experience that harmonizes with the St. Lawrence River.


Champlain Bridge: Custom Solutions for Infrastructure

Our containers act as essential tools for Montreal’s major infrastructure projects, including the massive renovation of the Champlain Bridge. Contractors utilized our units for secure on-site storage and as mobile offices, providing a practical, rugged solution that teams can deploy quickly in high-traffic construction zones.


Movies & Television: From the Yard to the Big Screen

Montreal is a hub for global cinema, and our containers often make appearances in major productions filmed locally. You can spot ATS units in films like X-Men and Day 6. Their raw, versatile aesthetic makes them the perfect choice for creating realistic urban or industrial backdrops for Hollywood and local TV shows alike.


PlayStation: An Immersive Stand Conversion

For a high-profile console launch, PlayStation tasked us with creating a fully customized promotional booth. We transformed a 10ft container into a completely open, powered-up stand featuring integrated lighting and a custom platform. This allowed fans to experience the new console in a unique, immersive environment.
