Packwise Raises Growth Capital For Transatlantic Push And Next-Gen Container Tech

The round included existing investors TGFS and Hüttenes³, along with new investor SBG via the RegioInnoGrowth (RIG) program.

“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.

Founded in 2017 in Dresden, Packwise focuses on digitizing logistics for industrial containers. At the heart of its solution is the Packwise Smart Cap—a plug-and-play IoT sensor that tracks container location, fill levels and environmental conditions in real time.

This sensor works alongside the Packwise Flow software platform to create a digital twin of the supply chain, enabling better visibility, smarter predictions and more sustainable container management.

The new funding will help Packwise further develop its software, introduce new sensors for different container types like steel drums and ISO tanks, and expand its US office in Houston. The aim is to boost its presence in North America while strengthening its position in Europe, where it already works with over 50 clients 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.

Long-time investor TGFS, which has backed Packwise since 2018, views the startup’s journey as a prime example of Saxony-grown innovation making its mark globally.

“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.

As Packwise enters its next growth phase, this funding round reinforces its mission to transform container logistics using data, automation, and smart insights—powered by a strong industrial IoT foundation.
