Packwise GmbH, a leading industrial IoT company based in Dresden, has successfully raised seven-figure growth capital. The funds come from existing investors TGFS Technologiegründerfonds Sachsen and Hüttenes³, as well as SBG — Sächsische Beteiligungsgesellschaft, which is participating through the RegioInnoGrowth program (RIG).

Packwise offers a comprehensive smart solution for digital container management in the process industry with its combination of the „Packwise Smart Cap“ IoT sensor and the „Packwise Flow“ software platform. The technology enables real-time monitoring of fill levels, locations, and environmental conditions of industrial packaging, thereby creating data-based transparency along the supply chain. The aim of the financing is to drive international growth and accelerate the technological development of the „Packwise Flow“ platform and new sensor variants for industrial containers.

„This financing is a decisive milestone for Packwise. It enables us to consolidate our market position in Europe while significantly expanding our presence in North America. We are delighted with the confidence shown in us by our existing investors – and particularly pleased about the new investment by SBG as part of the RegioInnoGrowth program (RIG), which specifically supports growth-oriented technology companies such as Packwise,“ says Gesche Weger, Managing Director of Packwise GmbH. The funds will be used to expand the US site in Houston, further develop new product variants – such as for steel containers and ISO tanks – and commercialize data-based services. Packwise already has over 50 customers in Europe and the US, including BASF, Merck, Solvay, and Hoover.

“With our participation in the „Innovation capital Saxony“ initiative, we want to specifically strengthen forward-looking business models such as Packwise’s, support them in their transition to the scaling phase, and further promote Saxony as a location for innovation. We are very pleased to be supporting a company whose technology has the potential to set new standards in industrial logistics,” adds Frank Tappert, Managing Director of SBG. The initiative is part of the federal RegioInnoGrowth (RIG) program from the Future Fund and is being implemented by the Sächsische Aufbaubank — Förderbank — (SAB) together with the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW). Funding is provided on a pro rata basis by KfW, SAB, and SAB subsidiary SBG on behalf of the Saxon State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Labor, Energy, and Climate Protection (SMWA).

TGFS has been on board as an investor since 2018. „Packwise is an outstanding example of a growth-oriented technology company from the region that impresses with its scalable business model, technological excellence, and international appeal. By combining funds from existing investors such as TGFS and Hüttenes³ with RIG funds, we can invest specifically in growth-promoting measures and thus sustainably increase competitiveness,” adds Sören Schuster, Managing Director of TGFS.
