Packsize acquires Sparck Technologies from Standard Investment

Extending global leadership in automated packaging solutions

Packsize®, the market leader in sustainable, Right-sized On Demand Packaging, announces that the company has agreed to acquire Sparck Technologies, a European manufacturer of automated Right-sized packaging solutions.

The acquisition marks an important milestone in Packsize's growth strategy and strengthens its position as a global leader in the automated packaging industry. By combining Packsize's innovative technology and service model with Sparck's best-in-class box, lid and tray solutions, the company now offers the industry's most comprehensive portfolio of solutions to meet customers' evolving needs.

"Sparck has long been known for its innovation, reliability and strong commitment to sustainability - values that perfectly align with ours," said David Lockwood, CEO of Packsize Together, our complementary technologies create a more complete product offering for our customers. This acquisition brings us one step closer to achieving our mission of Smart Packaging for a Healthy Planet® by accelerating our ability to deliver more sustainable, right-sized packaging solutions to customers around the world.

"Including Sparck on the Packsize team is a strategic move that expands our offerings for customers - especially in high volume, high efficiency environments," said Brian Reinhart, Chief Revenue Officer at Packsize With Sparck's box load, lid and tray solutions, we can solve a broader range of packaging challenges. This isn't just about growth - it's about delivering smarter, more sustainable automation at scale.

Sparck Technologies, headquartered in Drachten, the Netherlands, is best known for its advanced CVP Impack and CVP Everest systems - automated solutions that optimize throughput and reduce waste by making right-sized boxes. "This acquisition is a perfect match," said Kees Oosting, CEO of Sparck It allows us to offer our customers more value faster and on a larger scale than each of the companies could individually.

Standard Investment worked closely with Sparck to achieve a successful transformation of its Drachten operations. Originally part of French listed multinational Quadient, Standard Investment segmented Sparck to become an independent company in 2021.

Herbert Schilperoord, partner at Standard Investment, said, "We are very proud of what the Sparck team has achieved with Standard Investment's involvement, growing the organization into a leading lead in custom packaging technology. We are confident that together, Packsize and Sparck will continue a strong growth curve and deliver fit-to-size technology to global tier 1 customers."
