Re-inventing the container
Our mission
Changing the paradigm
80% of the world’s goods transit through a container. Yet containers haven’t changed in 60 years with many businesses having to fit inside this box.
The shipping container is the building block of our globalized economy. By upgrading it with new technologies and services, we are impacting the whole of logistics.
AELER containers are stronger, insulated, super smart, more sustainable and have a higher payload to benefit all kinds of industries.
We’re reinventing the container so that it adapts to your needs. Not the other way round. This new paradigm opens up a world of possibilities.
Join the revolution!

Passionate engineer, close to customers and their needs, keen on technology. My approach is to stimulate the development of people in order to put them in a position of success.

With a background in graphic design and branding, I have been focusing on UX & UI for the last couple of years. My approach to design has always been holistic, focusing on the whole journey performed by the user and in the optimization of their experience, end-to-end. I am a true believer of the impact design has on people’s lives, and aim to increase this impact in any possible ways.
Roman Heimgartner
I love simple and well engineered things: furniture, computers, robots, algorithms, nature. I’m proud that my work in real-time critical software for neuroprosthetics and exoskeletons has been published in high impact academic journals. You will find me with my team seeking simple solutions to complex problems, from conception to implementation, and worrying over data. My motto? Be kind, excel at what you are doing (and play squash)!

Our vision
Our values
Be human first
We take care of one another. Ambition cannot come at the expense of one’s health: Human first!
Be collaborative
We think we, not me and them. Changing the world is only possible if we work well as a team.
Be daring
Aiming for the sky is the best way to learn how to fly! We want to help make the world a better place and we believe that, together, we can do it.
Be innovative
We believe that change is a force of good and we surf that wave all the time. Change and innovations are the only constants in progress.
