For 30 years, ALMAR has been providing container solutions to both international and domestic partners and continues to focus on building strong, reliable relationships as a key to our success. In 1988, Alistair Forbes founded Almar Container Group, not only to lease and trade shipping containers but to help his customers fulfill their unique needs and goals. Since then, Almar has grown into a successful organisation with international offices, servicing multiple industries. Looking back, we are proud of what we have achieved, and what we have done for the container industry through our innovative technology and customer service. Our proudest accomplishment, however, is not that we are a respected leader in the global container industry, or that we are a supplier and employer of choice for many, but we are most proud of the fact that, through it all, we have not lost sight of Almar's humble beginnings and main priority: the success of our customers. Almar was established by Managing Director, Alistair Forbes, with the core business of leasing and trading containers from the head office in South Africa. An African focus is developed with the establishment of an Almar office in Mombasa, Kenya. Almar extends its focus into Africa and opens offices in Luanda, Angola and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The economic climate in Brazil and Angola forces a closure of these operations, enabling Almar to focus on the rapidly expanding East African market. At Almar we believe it’s important to know why we do what we do, not just knowing what we do. This simple phrase embodies our passion for teamwork, consistency and a solution driven focus in everything we do. A foundation to everyday life at Almar, are our Values. We have a passion for innovative and technically sound container solutions. Our products are technically sound, because of this we can focus on customer service. ALMAR is a member of the Container Owners Association which ensures that we continually comply with international standards and form part of a global network of container expertise. with two registered prefixes, namely ALRU and ALMU, you are assured of all our container codes being ISO standard.

During the 15 years of our association, Almar has proved itself to be a most reliable supplier of container equipment. We consider the Company to operate to high ethical standards and overall a valued and trusted supplier. These containers were all brand new units which needed to be delivered on time for one of our projects in Africa. We are very happy to confirm that the containers were delivered as promised, on time and we were very pleased with the quality of both service and products supplied by Almar.
