Localization

Also key to our competitive advantage is pricing, most of the direct competition imports the complete product and sell local at a profit, lead times are always longer for imports, and our pricing comes below that of an imported product, imported parts are difficult to source and maintenance becomes a significant challenge when there’s no one locally to service the units. Dalilex Pty Ltd will leverage production of The Container Farm locally and create sustainable job opportunities and contribute towards the local economy by development of a network container farms that yield profits to our customers.
