As an authorized signatory in 1986 and later as Managing Director in 1995, supported by the Feldhausen family, the development and expansion of the CHS Container Group was significantly advanced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1980s &#8211; Pioneer in the container trade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in the early 1980s, we were one of the first companies in Europe to develop a comprehensive range of services over and above the pure trade in sea containers.
