André Petry, CEO & Co-Founder, Tacto, shared: “Supply chain disruptions and bureaucracy threaten our European economic backbone, 90 thousand mid-sized industrial companies, the ‘Mittelstand’. Tacto addresses these existential threats by offering a technological solution to build future-proof supply chains – digital, efficient, and sustainable. The funding round confirms our product's strength and allows us to double down on helping our customers stay competitive amid ever-increasing supply chain complexity.”

Luciana Lixandru, Partner, Sequoia Capital, said: "With global supply chains under pressure like never before, business leaders know that their suppliers are as strategically important as their customers. When we met André and the team, we knew Tacto would become the company to revolutionise procurement for these businesses, and Germany is the ideal place to start due to its strong ‘Mittelstand’."
