Container xChange has moved into the growing tank container market

The neutral online platform for container leasing and trading has added tank containers to its service offering through the acquisition, strengthening its position as the market leader.

TankContainerFinders.com founders Léon de Bruin and Arthur van de Hoeven will leave the company – Container xChange has acquired TankContainerFinder.com, the leading marketplace for tank container leasing and trading.

The acquisition, agreed for an undisclosed amount, adds substantial new members to Container xChange’s client roster, further cementing the company’s position as the leading neutral provider for shipping equipment.

Container xChange members can now buy, sell and lease every type of tank container and dry container in one location.

“TankContainerFinder.com has generated more than $40 million since it was founded in 2017 and is at the forefront of digitalisation in the growing tank container market,” said Dr Johannes Schlingmeier, founder of Container xChange. “Our customers have been asking for tank containers for a while and after a few conversations it was clear that joining forces with TankContainerFinder.com made a lot of sense.

“We’re thrilled to start capturing the huge synergy potential between our platforms. TankContainerFinder.com members can now access the Container xChange platform and collaborate with 800+ vetted shipping companies without transaction fees”.

The acquisition of TankContainerFinder.com by Container xChange Digitalisation will bring more transparency to a highly fragmented tank container market, enabling small- and medium sized companies to remain competitive by simplifying operational transactions when buying, selling or leasing tank containers.
