Compact Container Systems Introduces a Foldable 40 Foot High-Cube ISO
Container That Reduces Backhaul Shipping Costs Up to 75 Percent
New Container Set to Debut at the 2009 IANA/NITL Expo in Anaheim, Calif.

ANAHEIM, Calif., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston-based Compact Container
Systems (CCS) today announced the introduction of a revolutionary new
industrial grade 40' High Cube Foldable Container designed to reduce backhaul
shipping and storage costs up to 75 percent. The FOLDX 40-HC will make its
first appearance at the 2009 TransComp and Intermodal Expo (IANA/NITL Expo) in
Anaheim, Calif. on November 15.

Compact Container Systems introduces the first of a family of foldable ISO
containers designed to change the fundamental economics of the shipping
industry.

With over 27 million twenty-foot-equivalent (TEU) containers in circulation,
generating more than 120 million TEU movements per year, the industry spends
over $22 billion annually on repositioning empty containers.

This new compact design allows four containers to be stacked in the space of
one standard container, reducing the backhaul costs up to 75 percent. The
FOLDX 40-HC is quickly folded in minutes with a two person team. As many as
seven empty FOLDX containers can be handled/lifted simultaneously. It is fully
compatible with existing intermodal handling equipment and meets the existing
ISO/CSC Container Standards. Valuable slot space is freed up to provide
shippers with more revenue opportunities per trip. In addition, their products
provide shippers with environmentally-friendly solutions that reduce
unnecessary carbon emissions.

The patented FOLDX 40-HC is engineered by highly specialized design and
fabrication engineers with a long history of innovative products for the
aerospace/industrial market where durability and performance are essential in
extreme environmental conditions. Using state-of-the-art modeling tools, the
FOLDX 40-HC has been designed and tested to withstand the industry's critical
dimensional and stress factor tolerances. The CCS fabrication team has over 30
years of experience in the container industry and uses the only co-located
manufacturing and ISO Test Certification facility in North America.

Compact Container Systems is the industry's leading developer of foldable ISO
Shipping Containers. With its high value products and intelligent solutions,
the company fills an important role in finding answers to global challenges
such as inefficient transport, energy efficiency and safety.
