Over packed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sparck Technologies has been acquired by Packsize, resulting in a name change. The history of Sparck Technologies (formerly also known as Packaging by Quadient) begins in 1924 with the founding of HaDeWe in Drachten. From the very beginning, the focus has been on innovation, developing high-tech solutions that can make the lives of other entrepreneurs easier. For example, our company conceived, developed, and built the world's first automatic clog-making machine in the 1920s.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot has changed since this modest beginning. The company grew over time and the technical solutions evolved in line with market trends. In 2014, we therefore took our first steps into the world of automatic packaging machines for web shops. With the astronomical growth in online ordering, logistics providers were desperate for a solution to pack the many daily orders quickly, efficiently and environmentally friendly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with our skilled engineers, we came up with a solution to the problems that online retail was facing. We developed smart machines that can size, pack and ship orders automatically and at lightning speed, without air or filling material. With over 300 employees in the Netherlands, the United States, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, we have worked hard to make sustainable packaging the standard in e-commerce. Today, companies all over the world benefit from our smart packaging systems by saving on box volume, packaging materials and staff costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need a Sparck<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As so often, the idea of packaging machines started at the drawing board. But a true total solution can only be achieved when the whole process functions as designed, from start to finish. Our foundation is the reliability of our machines and the passion of our people. Our customers can rely on that. You need a Sparck, to ignite excitement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
