A Company That Can’t Be Contained

When visiting a harbor, it is normal to see giant rectangular boxes littering the pier, with trucks bringing them in and others removing them. They come in all sorts of colors, but aside from shape, they may have one more thing in common: the TAL sticker on their side. TAL International Group has become one of the world’s leading container and chassis company, aided by their enormous intermodal container fleets. They specialize in intermodal transportation equipment: vans, refrigerated containers, tanks, generator sets, open tops and more. Whatever conditions you want to set for a delivered item, they will provide the equipment needed. TAL is responsible for renting out and ultimately disposing of these containers, and also manages leasing activities for containers owned by other companies. They even purchase and re-sell equipment for one-way shipping routes which is a great way to do some good budgeting.

Since March 31, 2008, its total fleet has consisted of more than 700,000 chassis and containers, as well as 31,000 containers meant for third parties. It also represents over 1,000,000 other units. Aside from their own equipment, TAL also manages four other businesses: Trader, the biggest reseller of containers and intermodal hardware, Greyslot, a broking service for unused containers, SpaceWise, a supplier of used or new containers, and Chassis, with its products available for leasing.

An expert in the maritime business, TAL International Group has recently joined the stock market, under, of course, the symbol TAL. Investing in the company would be a wise choice, for one can buy stocks early and sell them once they are more expensive. TAL has had constant prices, $20.00 or more – it is a good start for a company fairly new in the stock market business. Getting stock market software would help make buying and selling TAL stocks faster.
