PODS Inc. – Launches New Container Design at Annual Conference - 
Introducing the PODS Foldable Container

Clearwater, Florida – March 28, 2007….PODS Enterprises, Inc. (PODS®), an international provider of mobile storage and moving solutions for residential and business customers, announced today the introduction of the fourth generation PODS brand container.  The new container, unveiled at PODS’ Annual Conference held March 21 – 23 in Palm Harbor, Florida, is capable of folding down to a maximum height of 18 inches off the ground.  This mobile container is as strong as the original and was designed to easily transport multiple containers (eighteen) at one time on one transport vehicle.  This method ensures cost-effective quantity transport either internationally or to area’s that need a large quantity of containers resulting from emergency situations such as a hurricane, tornado, fire and flood. 

Peter S. Warhurst, President and CEO of PODS, said: “We are pleased to introduce the new container, which will ultimately have a major impact on efficiently transporting containers globally at a fraction of the cost.  The PODS Foldable also supports our Rapid Response teams who are the first responders in emergency situations.  PODS will now be able to provide large quantities of containers which will increase the team’s efforts in saving valuable possessions, inventory and documents in areas suffering from the devastation of a hurricane, tornado or any other emergency situation.”

About PODS

In 1998 PODS revolutionized the moving and storage industry by originating the concept of transporting mobile storage containers.  The convenient, cost-effective service is unique in that the patented hydraulic lift system (only available with PODS) is designed to significantly reduce shift in contents while the PODS brand container is being loaded onto the truck for transport. The container is then securely transported state to state or internationally.

Currently, the PODS network provides service to a population of over 227 million consumer and businesses in the US, Canada and Australia.  To date over 721,000 reservations have been completed and there are over 114,000 PODS brand containers in service.
