• TypeScript everywhere – but we always chose the best tool for the job and we look forward to relying on your expertise making future decisions

About Packmatic:

We are rethinking the packaging market. We are creating solutions to bring the packaging industry into the digital age and improve its environmental footprint.

Our solution is so well received by our customers that we get 40-50 requests a week and we recently raised a Series A round of 15 million from leading VCs (lead investors: EQT & HV Capital). If you are as motivated as we are to modernize one of the largest B2B industries in the world and make a real impact in a very fast-growing digital start-up in the heart of Berlin, you've come to the right place. We have digitized the packaging procurement of numerous satisfied SME & Enterprise customers and helped them save tons of plastic - but that's just the beginning.
