THE BACKBONE OF OUR HOMES
The shipping containers used as part of the construction are used to create a solid structure and are the backbone of this project. But we protect the backbone and provide a stylish and permanent solution to residents with a full finish to make sure that a shipping container becomes a home.
About Us
MF GLOBAL GROUP
Mariano Bogani is the founder of MF Global Group. He is the third generation of a family with deep roots in the metallurgical industry. The family business spans over 90 years of experience in this sector with the production of machines, caps and tin containers, lithography and the representative for the Spanish Altos Hornos de Vizcaya in Argentina supplying the local market as well as exporting to the entire Mercosur.
Mr. Bogani possesses a deep knowledge of metals and their behavior both in the transformation of these and in their application, handling the technical specifications.
The inspiration for this project came from different trips to China and visiting factories in that country. Having seen the immense volume of cargo ships in and out of its ports and the thousands of shipping containers that were transported, the question of what happened to those containers after their lifetime was haunting.
Returning a container, turned waste past its lifetime, back to the original owner is too expensive and so is seeking to destroy it at local plants, both becoming more expensive than leaving them behind as waste at ports around the world. There are over 300 million containers in disuse worldwide, becoming non-viable industrial waste, 3 tons of iron at a time. This itself is a gigantic problem that needs a solution.
MF Global Group started with the know-how of an industry, the awareness of an environmental disaster and moved by a humanitarian disaster: over 1 billion people without access to decent housing in the world
