Holland Container Innovations (HCI) was founded in 2008 to find a solution to reduce costs of empty container repositioning. This issue costs the industry over twenty-five billion US dollars per year. HCI has since developed and marketed the idea for the 4FOLD foldable shipping container. The company is a spinoff from the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands. In 2009, funded by private investors with a long term vision, HCI built a first prototype of the foldable container together with co-funder and co-creator CMA-CGM. This prototype served as a proof of concept. Two years later, in 2011, HCI built a new prototype that received the important Container Safety Convention (CSC) certification. In close cooperation with a Chinese manufacturer, HCI built another redesigned and improved container in 2013. In March of that year, 4FOLD was the first 40ft foldable container in the world to receive ISO certification. This ISO certificate finally guarantees that the foldable container meets all industry requirements and paves the way for use in the existing logistic system.
