Designed to meet rising demand for high-speed, high-throughput variety-pack production, Sojo helps brands adapt to ever-changing packaging needs by streamlining operations with greater speed, flexibility, and visibility over supply chains. Sojo\u2019s innovative hardware and software solutions serve multiple Fortune 500 companies, emerging brands, established co-manufacturers, and distributors across food, beverage, ecommerce, and broader CPG sectors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis investment marks a pivotal moment in our journey,\u201d said Barak Bar-Cohen, Founder and CEO of Sojo Industries. \u201cAs consumer demand for variety and customization accelerates, brands are increasingly challenged by legacy packaging models that are slow, inflexible, and costly. S2G has deep experience in sustainable supply chain investments and with their partnership, we are committed to delivering alternative technology solutions that reduce freight, labor, and emissions, while helping brands drive profitable innovation and get on shelf faster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sojo\u2019s patented Sojo Flight\u2122 system delivers mobile manufacturing lines that can be deployed and fully operational in as little as one hour, enabling rapid variety-pack production directly on-site for customers, in addition to Sojo&#8217;s own national footprint of production and assembly facilities. This eliminates the cost and complexity of shipping products to separate co-packing locations and helps manufacturers and brands experience dramatic savings on freight and packaging costs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sojo also offers Sojo Shield\u2122, a vertically integrated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/articles\/topic\/3036\" id=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">track-and-trace<\/a> software platform that delivers real-time geolocation, analytics, and operational insights across the supply chain to manage inventory, product quality, and logistics mapping capabilities. Through Sojo&#8217;s platform, customers have saved more than 5 million freight miles, creating impactful emissions savings and reducing inefficiency across packaging value chains today.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSojo is addressing a core pain point in the food and beverage supply chain by tackling the fragmented, manual repackaging and distribution processes that lead to hidden costs and operational drag,\u201d said Matthew Walker, Managing Director of S2G\u2019s food &amp; agriculture strategy. \u201cAs complexity grows, brands need more agility, and traditional workflows that have multiple handoffs and limited ability to adapt to dynamic market demands are no longer sustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The funding will be used to scale Sojo Flight\u2122 deployments, enhance the Sojo Shield\u2122 platform, and expand automation across Sojo\u2019s \u201catoms to bits\u201d platform, merging state-of-the-art robotic hardware with a blockchain-based software platform to provide a full suite of capabilities to large scale customers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSojo is a company focused on delivering solutions at the seams of the food, energy, and logistics sectors, a nexus that is a core focus of S2G\u2019s strategy,\u201d added Francis O\u2019Sullivan, Managing Director of S2G\u2019s energy strategy. \u201cWe believe Barak and his team have that rare combination of deep technical capability and operational efficiency needed to deliver disruptive innovation in packaging solutions, and we\u2019re proud to support their growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/articles\/105739-sojo-industries-announces-40-million-in-financing-from-s2g-investments\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sojo Industries (Sojo), an industrial automation company specializing in advanced robotics, mobile manufacturing, and modular packaging solutions, today announced $40 million in financing from S2G Investments (S2G), a multi-stage investment firm focused on scaling solutions across food and agriculture, oceans, and energy.\u00a0 Sojo delivers modular, robotic packaging solutions both on-site at customer facilities and via [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":7646,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[165],"tags":[34,2178,1713,2373],"class_list":["post-7645","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-packaging-news","tag-logistics","tag-robotics-and-automation","tag-supply-chain-solutions","tag-track-and-trace"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7645"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7645\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
