Metallbau Emmeln

Your partner for custom container solutions.

Custom container solutions for transformer stations, converters, control technology, power generators, shore power systems, and hydrogen infrastructure—for short setup times and predictable commissioning.

Container solutions from Metallbau Emmeln help accelerate energy transition projects. Custom-engineered for transformer stations, battery storage systems, converters, control technology, power generators, shore power systems, and many other technical products—as well as applications in the hydrogen industry—they allow projects to be implemented much faster and precisely aligned with grid operator, project, and site requirements.

Thanks to a high level of in-house manufacturing, technology and equipment can be preassembled and tested at the factory upon request. This reduces interfaces, shortens on-site installation times, and supports smooth commissioning—even under demanding environmental conditions.

Applications

Container solutions from Metallbau Emmeln are used wherever energy is generated, converted, or distributed. They provide a protected, standards-compliant environment for sensitive technology and enable the rapid deployment of power engineering systems—regardless of location.

Overburden Excavators

Switchgear containers for controlling and supplying connected systems such as overburden excavators and supply conveyor belts.

Transformer Station

Container solutions for voltage conversion across different grids—tailored to site and operator requirements.

Power Generators

Generator containers for producing electricity using diesel power; EMC shielding, as required in military applications, can be implemented.

Shore Power Systems

Container solutions for supplying ships with power in port, minimizing CO₂ emissions and reducing emissions during berthing operations. 

Hydrogen Fueling Stations

Technical containers for providing climate-neutral fuels and integrating measurement, control, and safety technology.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes. The technology can be preassembled and tested at the factory. Customer-supplied components can also be integrated by Metallbau Emmeln to achieve especially short on-site setup and commissioning times.

Containers and integrated equipment can be deployed sequentially at temporarily different sites. In addition, installation and testing of all components can be completed entirely at the factory to ensure smooth on-site commissioning.

Lead times are significantly shorter than approval and construction timelines for fixed solutions. As a rule, container delivery times of approximately 12–20 weeks are achievable—depending on the project scope and equipment.

Yes. The containers can be equipped with a wide range of project-specific technologies—for example HVAC units, electrical installation, fire alarm technology, ventilation systems, and other special equipment according to customer requirements.
