About Insula

Canadian-built infrastructure. Designed for deployment.

Insula Container Conversions Inc. is a Southwestern Ontario manufacturer and developer of rapid-deployment modular infrastructure.

We take projects from operational requirements through design, prototyping, manufacturing, system integration and modular kitting. Using ISO shipping containers and transportable platforms as a foundation, we develop purpose-built systems for defence, remote operations, energy, utilities, mining, industrial and specialty applications.

Manufacture as much as possible under controlled conditions, reduce field fabrication, and make infrastructure easier to transport, install, service and redeploy.

The principle behind our approach

Built in Southwestern Ontario

Canadian manufacturing. Local capability. Remote reach.

Insula's manufacturing operations are based in Langton, Ontario, with design and project support in Delhi, Ontario. Our model combines in-house manufacturing with Canadian advanced-manufacturing suppliers and specialist trade relationships.

This allows Insula to develop and manufacture modular systems in Southwestern Ontario while supporting deployment throughout Canada and into remote locations.
