Pickle Robot Company, founded in 2018 and based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, develops an innovative package handling robot designed to automate critical tasks in the e-commerce supply chain. The company's first robot, named Dill, addresses the physically demanding nature of package handling, which often results in high employee turnover. Dill is capable of performing multiple shifts and effectively communicates with human workers, continuously developing new skills to enhance operations. The robot's capabilities include loading and unloading feeder trucks, palletizing and depalletizing mixed parcels, preloading last-mile delivery vehicles, and sorting packages. By automating these processes, Pickle Robot aims to help logistics companies reduce labor costs and increase efficiency, addressing a significant bottleneck in the rapidly growing e-commerce sector.

Creapaper develops an innovative raw material for paper production that is made mostly out of grass fiber. They provide the paper industry with a new raw material for the production of paper and cardboard – grass! Or, to be more precise, it’s actually dried hay. It is prepared using their own patented process according to the requirements of the corresponding paper mill and is then incorporated into its production cycle as a raw material instead of virgin fibres (wood) or recycled paper. If wood is substituted by grass as a raw material for the production of paper and cardboard, CO2 emissions arising from the manufacturing process are reduced by up to 75%.

E3NEO will operate as a separate entity within the Ranpak organization. Due to the differences in sales process and expertise required, the sales organizations will not be integrated. But as both organizations focus on packaging applications and their solutions can be complementary there are clear touch points between the two: “Although E3NEO projects are unique and customer specific, there are logical points of interaction with the existing Ranpak organization in the areas of lead generation, business development and our existing distribution partners. We will stimulate these as they will help us accelerate growth” Kovach explains.
