With the partnership that started last year between the RIKUTEC Group, headquartered in Bad Honnef, Germany and Packwise GmbH, headquartered in Dresden, Germany, an official distribution partnership has been launched to revolutionize the digital transformation of Supply Chain Management in the United States.

In collaboration with the RIKUTEC Group, a global provider of innovative container solutions for various application areas, Packwise offers the groundbreaking “Smart Cap” module. This plug- and-play innovative device enables analog containers to become digitally traceable. Through advanced IoT-Technology, important data, including fill level, temperature, location, and movement, can be tracked around the clock. RIKUTEC America will take the lead in customer support for the North American market and offer the innovative Packwise “Smart Cap” as a digital tracking module. The first joint appearance will take place in June 2023 at the “Specialty and Agro Chemicals America” trade show in Savannah, Georgia

This digitalization of packaging creates new possibilities for optimized, future-oriented supply chains and improved product safety”,
