Summer greetings from USC

With summer at its peak, it’s a great time to reflect on everything we’ve accomplished so far. From our expansions in Europe to the introduction of smart locking systems, it’s been a busy and exciting year at USC so far. In this newsletter, we give you a brief update on the first half of 2025 and a sneak peek at what’s ahead.

Events & Connections in Europe

We were on the road a lot and attended some great industry events. A great opportunity to connect with customers, partners and new faces.

We kicked off with this year’s AESS conference in Madrid, the 17th edition of Spain’s largest self-storage event. We had many valuable conversations with operators and suppliers and it was great to see how much interest there was in our Z-Box. The Spanish market is growing rapidly and we are happy to be a part of it.

Then we had the Self Storage Association UK Conference. It was a top notch experience with great talks, live demos of our units and even a DeLorean stopping by. Big thanks to SSAUK and TIC for organizing such a fun and well-organized event.

We also attended the British Association of Removers Conference, where we showcased the Mover Box. Our customized container for the moving industry is already being used by our customers Fox Group and Williams & Yates. It is designed to store three standard boxes and can be used as a removable truck container with twistlocks. A sturdy solution developed by and for movers.

Smart Access: The Rise of Electronic Locks

Technology is changing the self-storage industry and we are right on top of it. This year we worked hard to integrate smart, keyless locks into our containers and the first results are already visible.

MyLock – Smart and Simple to Use

Together with our partner MyLock, we developed a smart locking system made specifically for USC containers. It is easy to install (without modifications to the containers), works with a PIN code or via an app on your phone, and is already being used at several locations. Thanks to the open API, the system can be easily linked to existing management software. Perfect for unmanned sites or companies looking to modernize.

Nokē – Fully Integrated with Janus Roller Doors

We have also partnered with Janus International Europe to integrate Nokē’s smart locks directly into their roller doors. Already using Nokē? Then you can effortlessly switch to USC containers without any modifications. The complete system with door, lock and app works right out of the box. This makes smart access even easier and more secure.

We are proud to continue working with innovators such as MyLock, Nokē and Janus to make storage smarter, safer and easier.

Big News on the Coming at FEDESSA

We are already looking ahead to the big FEDESSA event later this year. We will showcase our latest innovations there and we have a big announcement in store that we plan to share with you soon. For now we’ll keep it a secret, but trust us, you don’t want to miss this!

We are proud of the momentum we have built this year. With new collaborations, smart slot integrations and great events like SSAUK, BAR and AESS in Madrid, 2025 will be a year to remember. Not to mention all the deliveries we’ve already made. And with FEDESSA just around the corner, there is so much more great stuff to come!
