Shipping container provider to add new Charleston County headquarters, jobs

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) – A global provider of used shipping containers will expand its operations to add a new headquarters location in downtown Charleston.

Eveon Containers says its new office in the Holy City will house marketing and customer care teams and will support the company’s online platform as it continues to expand globally.

“During our tour of various cities, Charleston distinguished itself through the strategic significance of its port, the emerging digital corridor and its distinctive charm,” Eveon CEO Aad Storm said. “These factors were pivotal in establishing our foundation and launching our headquarters here. As part of our expansion, we relocated our customer service team from the Northeast to Charleston to ensure the southern hospitality organic to the Lowcountry was conveyed to our customers nationwide.”

The company’s investment will add 25 jobs over the next five years.

“Congratulations to Eveon on its continued investment in Charleston County,” Gov. Henry McMaster said. “By expanding its North American headquarters with the addition of new jobs, the company further positions itself as a global leader in logistics and technology.”

The new headquarters will be housed in the Cigar Factory on East Bay Street, according to a release from the governor’s office. Operations are already online.

Founded in 2020 in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Eveon rapidly expanded into the United States and Canada, offering 24/7 purchasing options for used shipping containers. The company provides sustainable building, shipping and storage solutions for its customers nationwide including businesses, educational institutions and government agencies.
