🗞️ TechCrunch: Packmatic, a Berlin-based digital packaging marketplace has raised a €15 million Series A round led by EQT Ventures. This funding will help the startup push further into European markets. On why EQT Ventures was selected as the lead investor, Matthias Geiss, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Packmatic comments: “they have a very good understanding of business models that try to disrupt very traditional industries. Plus, their approach is very entrepreneurial. So all the investment team are either former entrepreneurs themselves or operators in startups.” Rania Belkahia, Partner at EQT Ventures adds: “The European packaging market boasts an impressive valuation, but remains opaque, fragmented, and crucially, largely non-digital. Packmatic’s platform provides a unique solution– a cost-effective, fully digital marketplace championing the shift to low-carbon packaging.” 🔗 Click the link below to read more.

Thank your trust — super excited to be working together 🤝

❤️🔥 How did Filabé of Switzerland AG manage to digitize their packaging sourcing, improve recyclability, and consolidate their supplier setup at the same time?   🧴 Filabé’s products are high-quality cosmetics that contain only active ingredients. Since most are applied daily, the consumer interacts with the packaging very frequently, and an exclusive presentation is critical.   🎙️“Through the great efforts of our team and the fantastic support of David Martin and Patrick Zentgraf at Packmatic, we were able to consolidate our packaging sourcing without compromising quality and even achieved an improvement in recyclability. We can only recommend giving Packmatic’s digital solution a try.” — Marius Risch, Filabé   🏢 Who produces Filabé's new packaging? With the help of Packmatic, they switched to a traditional German supplier, specialized on folding boxes, which already delivers to many other high-quality brands as well as large, uncompromising customers.   📹 In the video below you see the print approval process, where Packmatic’s packaging engineers and the technicians of the partner supplier patiently worked together with Filabé to ensure perfect print results, without compromising quality in the slightest. Happy Friday from the entire team at Packamtic!   #packmatic #packaging #recycablility #costsavings #packagingquality #recycabledesign #circulareconomy #packaginginnovation #collaboration
