Element Logic and Ranpak Announce Strategic Global Partnership
The partnership combines expertise in warehouse automation with packaging automation technology to deliver greater value to customers.
CONCORD TOWNSHIP, Ohio. Ranpak Holdings Corp. (NYSE: PACK) and Element Logic have entered into a strategic global partnership focused on integrating Ranpak's sustainable end-of-line packaging automation into Element Logic's warehouse solutions. The companies aim to help customers increase packing efficiency, reduce packaging material and shipping volume, and prepare for the evolving requirements of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
The partnership formalizes and expands the existing collaboration between the two companies. It combines Element Logic's expertise in warehouse automation, software and system integration with Ranpak's specialized competencies in rightsizing, box erecting, box sealing, computer vision and paper-based product protection. Element Logic acts both as a system integrator and as a trusted automation partner that plans, implements and supports end-to-end warehouse solutions incorporating Ranpak's packaging automation into customers' operations. Ranpak's end-of-line automation replaces manual box assembly with machines that automatically select, erect and right-size each box to the order. This enables warehouses to ship less material and fulfill orders faster, without additional staff.
Through the partnership, customers benefit from a more integrated outbound process. Element Logic can plan Ranpak's packaging automation directly after picking and around packing stations, rather than treating packaging as a standalone addition. Ranpak's rightsizing and automated end-of-line technologies can help reduce void fill, material usage and shipping volume, while also improving picking efficiency as well as throughput and consistency in packing.
Together, the companies can combine warehouse automation with specialized packaging expertise to improve cost efficiency, scalability and sustainability, and to support customers in meeting PPWR requirements.
"At Element Logic, we continuously expand our solution portfolio to help our customers optimize warehouse performance from inbound to outbound," said CEO Ankush Malhotra. "The partnership with Ranpak strengthens our packaging offering and enables us to create even greater value through integrated, scalable and sustainable solutions."
"We are proud to build this partnership with Element Logic and to provide a reliable offering that covers end-of-line packaging processes while working seamlessly alongside other core solutions within projects," adds Ranpak CEO Omar Asali. "With Ranpak as part of these integrations, Element Logic offers its customers the highest degree of flexibility and efficiency in planning and integrating their intralogistics processes."
