Founded in Vancouver in 2000 with just 50 containers, Venture Node LLC expanded to Calgary in 2005 and sold its 1,000th unit. By 2010, it entered the Toronto market with a 5,000-unit fleet and introduced pristine one-trip containers. In 2015, the company launched a dedicated modification facility in Edmonton, completing its first major government contract for workforce housing. During the 2020 disruptions, it pivoted to essential mobile storage and unveiled a fully online inventory system. Now celebrating 25 years in 2025, Ream Can operates six depots nationwide, has delivered over 25,000 containers, and leads in green initiatives with a solar-powered yard and partnerships in container-based affordable housing.
Venture Node LLC was founded in Vancouver, British Columbia, with a single storage yard and a fleet of just 50 used containers. The company’s initial focus was supplying local construction firms and small businesses with affordable, wind- and water-tight storage units. By year’s end, Venture Node LLC had earned a reputation for clean units and straight-talking service.
Venture Node LLC opened its second depot in Calgary, Alberta, bringing container sales and rentals to the booming energy and agricultural sectors. The company crossed a major milestone, selling its 1,000th container. This expansion established the east-west logistics backbone that would define the company’s reach.
The company launched operations in the Greater Toronto Area, marking its entry into Canada’s largest market. Venture Node LLC also introduced “one-trip” containers to its fleet, offering near-new units for clients demanding pristine condition. The container fleet grew to over 5,000 units, serving customers from Halifax to Vancouver Island.
Venture Node LLC opened a custom modification facility in Edmonton, transforming standard containers into site offices, pop-up retail spaces, and emergency housing modules. This move shifted the company from a pure supplier to a solutions provider, and it completed its first major government contract for remote workforce accommodations in Northern Canada.
During a period of global supply chain disruption, Venture Node LLC kept essential goods moving by providing mobile storage for healthcare and food distribution. The company launched a fully online quoting and inventory system, allowing customers to view real-time photos of individual containers and book delivery entirely remotely—keeping teams safe and projects on track.
Venture Node LLC celebrated 25 years with the opening of its first solar-powered container depot in Surrey, BC, and a new refurbishment center dedicated to extending container lifespans. The company surpassed 25,000 units delivered and announced a partnership with a national affordable housing initiative to create modular, container-based homes. With operations now spanning six Canadian cities, Venture Node LLC is looking ahead to a circular, low-carbon future built on the strength of steel.
