Packsize to acquire Sparck in automated packaging deal
In a major consolidation in fit-to-size automated packaging Packsize has completed an agreement to acquire Sparck Technologies.
PACKSIZE SAYS its technology and service model will combine with Sparck’s best-in-class box last and lid and tray solutions to provide the ‘industry’s most comprehensive portfolio of solutions’.
Packsize CEO David Lockwood, says: “Our complementary technologies create a more complete product offering for our customers. This acquisition brings us one step closer to realising 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.”
“Bringing Sparck into the Packsize team is a strategic move that expands what we can offer our customers – especially in high-volume, high-efficiency environments,” adds Brian Reinhart, chief revenue officer at Packsize. “Sparck’s box last and lid and tray solutions allow us to 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, Netherlands, is best known for its advanced CVP Impack and CVP Everest systems – automated solutions that optimize throughput and reduce waste by creating fit-to-size boxes at scale.
“This acquisition is a perfect match,” said Kees Oosting, CEO of Sparck. “It allows us to bring more value to our customers faster and at a greater scale than either company could achieve alone.”
Standard Investment has worked closely with Sparck to execute a successful transformation of the activities in Drachten.
Originally part of French-listed multinational Quadient, Standard Investment segmented Sparck to become a standalone company in 2021.
