About ARCON Container

ARCON is a global container trading and one-way leasing company, that predominantly focuses on Far East and Southeast Asia, Indian Subcontinent, Europe, and Russian markets. ARCON’s key differentiator from other industry players is their customer-focused approach, investment in their own containers, and a highly skilled international team.

Their aim is to sustainably scale their business and unlock value by optimizing container utilization, globally.

“Finding reliable partners is just one click away with xChange”

Prior to joining xChange, ARCON experienced ongoing hurdles of finding and developing trust with overseas partners, sourcing global container supply, and quickly transacting.

Eager to overcome these difficulties, CEO of ARCON, Mr Supal Shah decided to give xChange a try and became a member in 2018, when they were still a part of Sarjak Container Lines, an Indian NVOCC. Leveraging xChange’s marketplaces, the company resolved these challenges, explains Mr Shah:

“Thanks to xChange, finding a partner is just one click away. Members of xChange are well verified so we don’t have any trust issues. There’s automatic price discovery on the platform, so we get competitive prices, and most importantly, the xChange wallet service makes the overall process smooth and quick.”

And eager to further expand their business and journey into the depths of special type of equipment, Mr Shah added:

“We aim to enhance our presence on the xChange Leasing platform by now offering special type of equipment such as open tops, flat racks, and ISO tanks. We expect to develop this new venture at xChange because it allows us to meet many reliable users anywhere in the world”

“Quickly find supply and demand of containers”

As a loyal and active member of xChange for 5 years, here are the top three things that ARCON love about us:

“Apart from being able to scale up our business 5x and grow our global partner network, we love:

1. How simple it is to find global supply and demand for containers

2. xChange’s wallet service, which guarantees payment security

3. How efficient xChange is at resolving insurance and dispute issues”
