Hacon present at OTC Asia 2026

Last week, our colleague Siem Delfos, Commercial Manager and Offshore Specialist at Hacon Containers, travelled to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to attend OTC Asia 2026. This leading offshore and energy exhibition once again provided an inspiring platform for innovation, networking, and business development.

Small-scale, yet powerful

According to Siem, OTC Asia is a relatively compact and well-organized exhibition, contributing to its accessibility and dynamic atmosphere. At the same time, its open nature—without an entrance fee—attracts a wide variety of visitors. While this can make it busy, it also creates unexpected opportunities for new connections and insights.

Innovations with potential for containers

During his visit, Siem came across various innovative solutions and technologies that could become relevant to the container industry in the future. Some of these developments could even be directly integrated into, or built within, container solutions.

“There are interesting companies working on solutions that perfectly align with what we can achieve with containers,” says Siem. “A collaboration with Hacon Container Modifications could significantly strengthen the development of these solutions.”

New leads in the offshore market

In addition to exploring innovations, Siem spoke with several companies active in the offshore sector that already use containers, both onshore and offshore. Notably, many of these companies are not yet fully aware of the full range of possibilities Hacon offers.

According to Siem, this presents a clear opportunity: “There are companies already working with containers but not yet aware of how broad the applications really are. In the coming period, I will actively engage with these companies to explore where we can add value.”

Networking remains essential

As with any exhibition, networking played a key role. Alongside scheduled meetings, there was plenty of room for spontaneous encounters—often the moments where the most interesting conversations take place. Siem also reconnected with existing relations and familiar faces, highlighting Hacon’s growing network in the international market.

With valuable conversations, new connections, and fresh insights, we look back on a highly successful exhibition visit.
