Packsize Acquires Sparck Technologies: A Strategic Leap in Automated Packaging

Packsize®, recognized as a leader in sustainable and right-sized packaging solutions, has finalized its acquisition of Sparck Technologies. This strategic move not only marks a pivotal moment in Packsize's growth trajectory but also solidifies its prominent position in the global automated packaging sector.

Significant Growth Ahead

The acquisition of Sparck Technologies, a company known for its state-of-the-art packaging systems in Europe, represents a key advancement in Packsize's mission to provide customers with tailored and efficient packaging options. By merging Packsize's innovative technology with Sparck’s high-throughput and fit-to-size solutions, the company is expected to deliver an even broader range of services that cater to the changing demands of the packaging industry.

David Lockwood, the CEO of Packsize, expressed enthusiasm about the transition: "Sparck has long been acknowledged for its reliable and sustainable solutions—principles that resonate deeply with our corporate values. Together, we will present a more comprehensive product range that aligns with our goal of providing Smart Packaging for a Healthy Planet®." This synergy aims to enhance customer satisfaction by enabling more sustainable packing options, thus contributing positively to the environment.

How This Changes the Landscape

According to Brian Reinhart, Chief Revenue Officer at Packsize, adding Sparck's advanced automation capabilities allows Packsize to tackle a broader spectrum of packaging challenges, especially in fast-paced, high-demand environments. Reinhart noted, "This expansion is not just about scaling up; it's fundamentally about harnessing smarter approaches to automation, which are crafted for sustainability at scale."

Sparck Technologies, based in Drachten, Netherlands, has carved a niche for itself with its groundbreaking CVP Impack and CVP Everest systems, which optimize the creation of fit-to-size boxes while minimizing waste and enhancing throughput. Kees Oosting, Sparck’s CEO highlighted, "This merger is perfectly timed—together, we can bring faster solutions and more value to our customers than ever before."

The Evolution of Sparck

Standard Investment, which has played a critical role in fostering Sparck’s evolution from a division of the French multinational Quadient into an independent leader in fit-to-size packaging, has endorsed this merger. Herbert Schilperoord, a Partner at Standard Investment, expressed pride in Sparck’s transformation and anticipates further success under the Packsize umbrella: "We believe that this union will sustain a strong growth momentum, delivering significant advances to tier 1 customers worldwide."

The Future of Packaging

The acquisition showcases a growing trend where packaging companies are not only focusing on expansion but are also prioritizing innovation aimed at environmental sustainability. As businesses and consumers alike become more aware of the ecological implications tied to packaging, companies like Packsize and Sparck are poised to lead the way in providing effective, green solutions.

Packsize has long been committed to transforming packaging practices since its introduction of on-demand, right-sized packaging in 2002. The firm’s forward-thinking approach has earned it recognition across North America and Europe as a trusted and responsible packaging advisor.

With the integration of Sparck Technologies into its portfolio, Packsize expects to enhance its existing models while accelerating its delivery of sustainable packaging solutions.
