Dresden-based startup Packwise has secured a seven-figure growth capital sum to expand its US operations. The round included new investor SBG – Sächsische Beteiligungsgesellschaft, alongside continued backing from existing investors TGFS Technologiegründerfonds Sachsen and Hüttenes.
Packwise specializes in the digitalization of industrial container logistics. The company provides the Packwise Smart Cap, a plug-and-play IoT sensor that gathers real-time data. This data includes the location, fill level, and condition of intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). The sensor works with the Packwise Flow software to create a digital twin of the supply chain.
Fueling Transatlantic Growth and New Tech
The company will direct the new capital toward three key areas. First, it will further develop the Packwise Flow software platform. Second, it plans to launch new sensor variants for different container types like steel drums and ISO tanks.
This move places Packwise in the competitive supply chain technology market. The company aims to improve logistics efficiency against established asset tracking providers like Samsara and Roambee. The latest **Packwise funding** round is designed to accelerate this push.
The company already serves over 50 clients, including major industrial players like BASF, Merck, and Solvay.
This investment solidifies the company’s position among innovative German startups in the industrial IoT sector. The fresh capital enables Packwise to enhance its technology and consolidate its market share in both Europe and North America.
