Answering the 13th Five-Year Green Call, TERCEL Container Modules Debut in Shanghai, Boosting Transformation of Traditional Manufacturing
From November 4 to 6, 2015, Hall E1 of the Shanghai New International Expo Centre was bustling with visitors and industry professionals as the second Shanghai International Building Industrialization Exhibition (BIC 2015) was held with great success. With the theme "Building Data, Information Flow, Automation," the expo covered 9,000 square metres and brought together over 80 renowned enterprises from Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, the United States, Japan, and other countries. As an annual flagship event in the field of building industrialization, BIC 2015 showcased the full‑chain innovations in architectural design, factory manufacturing, on‑site construction, and prefabricated steel‑structure systems, offering an international and diversified platform for product display and technical exchange.
Among the many exhibitors, Jiangsu Tercel Logistics Equipment Co., Ltd. (TERCEL) made a striking impression with its container‑based building modules, becoming one of the highlights of the expo. The participation was a key outcome of the strategic partnership between the China Free Trade Chamber of Commerce Alliance and the world‑leading container manufacturer Jiangsu Hailu Group, together with its wholly‑owned subsidiary Jiangsu Tercel Logistics Equipment Co., Ltd. This tripartite alliance actively responded to the call of the State Council's Opinions on Further Strengthening Urban Planning, Construction and Management – which advocates "developing new construction methods" – and aligned with the 13th Five‑Year Plan's requirements and initiatives for green building and innovative environmental protection. The collaboration aimed to vigorously promote prefabricated construction, support national efforts to advance low‑carbon and sustainable architecture, and help traditional manufacturing sectors such as container and steel production achieve a successful transformation.
At the expo, TERCEL prominently showcased its "Jijiong" series of modular container building systems. This series seamlessly integrates prefabricated interior finishing with green building concepts, focusing on three main product lines: hotel guestrooms, innovative dining spaces, and creative commercial offices. With its standardized and modular hardware, combined with R&D capabilities that rival international best practices, the "Jijiong" series attracted immediate and widespread attention – within just half a day of the opening, the exhibition area had received over a thousand visitors from around the world.
The extraordinary interest in TERCEL's container modules stems from their distinct advantages and deep technical expertise. As a vibrant subset of modular construction, container architecture embodies a unique blend of global and local, temporary and permanent, finite and infinite qualities. It is simultaneously the product of highly precise, complex engineering and a wellspring of creative freedom. Jiangsu Hailu Group, renowned as one of the world's premier ship‑equipping enterprises, produces containers and prefabricated modules originally engineered for luxury cruise liners and military applications – excelling in fire resistance, moisture protection, sound insulation, shock absorption, thermal insulation, comfort, and environmental performance. These products not only satisfy a wide range of construction needs but also perform reliably under challenging terrain or harsh environmental conditions.
From a broader perspective, TERCEL's debut at the expo carries significant implications for the industry. At a time when low‑carbon efficiency, energy conservation, contemporary style, and safety have become the watchwords of the construction sector, the concept of "integrated housing" is quietly capturing public attention. Compared with conventional building methods, integrated or prefabricated systems – powered by industrial technology and boundless creativity – offer users a built environment that is not only low‑carbon and highly efficient but also comfortable and adaptable. TERCEL is an active driver of this movement, helping to promote low‑carbon, sustainable architecture nationwide and assisting traditional industries like container manufacturing and steel production in their transition toward a greener future, where innovative integrated buildings and versatile container structures create a more beautiful world.
