HOOFDDORP, Netherlands: Container Centralen is splitting itself into two companies. One company is focusing entirely on the Horticulture supply chain and the other company is completely active in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) supply chain.
The Management Team of Container Centralen understands and supports the decision to split the company.

The current product portfolio of this company will be the CC Container, CC Half-container and the CC Eurocontainer. The name Container Centralen stays the same, as well as existing services. The staff primarily dedicated to customers in the horticultural industry is working in this company.
Erhvervsinvest (EI), a Danish investment company, is the sole shareholder of the FMCG part in Europe. The product portfolio of this company includes the CC (Euro) Rolly, the CC (Euro) Dolly, the CC Rollcontainer and CC Freshbox.
