EasiHive — container house manufacturer, three production sites

16,000 m² across three workshops in Suzhou. Two welding lines, two sandwich panel lines, one painting line. About 400 units a month from Jakarta and the same from Bangkok. 400+ units in regional stock. EasiHive builds flat pack, expandable, folding and space capsule units, and sells them factory-direct to more than 50 countries. Warranty is 12 months on manufacturing defects, with a 24-hour reply and a 72-hour written remedy.

Four product lines, priced from US$1,000

Prices are FOB China for the base configuration. Landed cost depends on port, duty and site access — see the landed cost index.

Three things most Chinese suppliers can't do

Certificates, with numbers

Project types

Client names stay confidential; the project types are real and we can discuss the engineering of each.

• Taiwan — Equestrian facility buildings
• Shanghai — Warehouse units
• South Africa — 6 m flat pack battery storage cabinets
• Indonesia — Tourism accommodation units

How we quote

FOB and landed cost are quoted as separate lines, never blended into one number. That means you can see what the factory charges, what the freight adds, and what your agent's duty and VAT will add on top — and compare each line against another supplier instead of comparing two totals that were built differently.

Installation is quoted the same way: crew time, travel, visas, accommodation and insurance are their own line, so you can weigh them against hiring locally. If a quotation from another supplier has no freight line and no installation line, it is not cheaper — it is incomplete.

Stock in four Southeast Asian markets

Over 100 units are held at each of Jakarta, Bangkok, Thu Dau Mot in Binh Duong and Kulai in Johor, for dispatch in three days instead of a three-to-five week ocean leg. Stock is standard 20ft and 40ft flat pack; other models are built to order. See current stock levels.

Where the capacity comes from

Capacity is not a number on a brochure; it is a set of machines and people. In Suzhou the plant runs two welding lines that build the steel frames, two sandwich panel lines that produce the insulated wall and roof panels, and a painting line that finishes the frame before assembly. Those three stages in one site is why a 20ft flat pack can be quoted at US$1,000 rather than assembled from bought-in parts.

Bangkok is a 6,000 m² plant owned by EasiHive, run by fewer than 20 people at about 100 units a week. It exists for two reasons: Thai and ASEAN buyers get a domestic supply line rather than an import, and the plant is close enough to the region's projects that a replacement panel can arrive in days. Jakarta is 5,000 m² of factory and warehouse with 20 staff, also at about 100 units a week, and it holds the spare-part rack plus the installation crew that serves Indonesia.

Add the three together and the group can ship roughly 200 units a week, about 800 a month. That figure is a combined ceiling, not a promise on any single order: a single plant quoting 800 units a month would be overstating what it can do, which is why we publish the split rather than one big number.

How an order runs

1. You send the model, quantity, destination port and the date the first unit must be usable.
2. We reply within 24 hours with FOB, freight and landed cost as separate lines, plus the production window.
3. Deposit confirms the order; drawings are issued for your approval before cutting starts.
4. Production runs 7–15 days for standard models, longer for fitted or custom layouts.
5. Pre-shipment inspection with photographs and a loading plan per container; third-party inspection on request.
6. Shipment, with the packing list, bill of lading and certificates your broker needs.
7. On site: assembly by your crew with our manual and remote support, our supervision, or our full crew.
8. Handover includes the assembly record, utility diagrams and the warranty document issued by the factory.

What we do not claim

Most supplier profiles in this industry are written to sound like everyone else's. Three things are different here, and they are deliberate.

• No ranking claims. We do not say we are number one by customs volume or by marketplace sales, because we cannot show a document that says so. Anything a buyer cannot verify is worse than saying nothing.
• No invented case studies. The project types listed are real; client names are not published, and we will not attach a famous logo to a building we did not supply.
• No certification we do not hold. ISO 9001, 45001 and 14001 are ours, with numbers. We do not claim CE marking on a finished building, ASTM ratings or an EN 1090 factory certificate we have not been issued.

Why buyers switch from a trading company

A trading company quotes a container house and buys it from a factory. That adds a margin without adding a machine, and it usually adds a communication layer between the person who specified the unit and the person who builds it. When you buy from the entity that welds the frame and runs the panel line, three things change: a specification question is answered by production rather than relayed, a defect claim goes to the party that caused it, and the drawings you approve are the drawings that are cut.

It also changes what you can ask for. A factory can change a panel thickness, a door position or a window size before the frame is welded; a trader can only ask someone else to. On fitted and expandable units, where the layout is most of the value, that difference decides how close the delivered unit is to the drawing.

What a factory cannot always offer is range: if you need a capsule and a dormitory and a retail kiosk in one shipment, the specialist factory for each is a different plant. EasiHive sits in the middle — four product lines under one manufacturing entity, with the certificates to match — which is why this profile lists what we make and does not pretend to make everything else.
