Ponera Group was incorporated in Switzerland on April 2019 by two colleagues and friends who believe that eco-friendly and efficient solutions are necessary to shape the future of the growing freight logistics market. Their vision is to transform single-use consumable industrial packaging material into intelligent assets, orchestrating an effective circular economy. Their mission is to facilitate circular logistics through their smart modular reusable industrial packaging solution. Through innovation, it is possible to significantly impact their partners environmental footprint, process efficiency, flexibility and transparency.

The team is currently composed of seven managers and employees and it is planning to grow more.

Freight logistics tend to generate a lot of waste: for instance, for wood, the packaging transport weight is very high, and it therefore generates significant CO2 emissions.

Ponera Group has developed a unique logistics solution based on an innovative modular system of bio-polymer-based pallets which decrease packing costs by minimising transport and industrial packaging inefficiencies. The flexibility of this innovation makes it applicable to wide range of products and industries. Ponera's assortment of modules, which come in different sizes, can be assembled to create any required surface area, granting full flexibility to users. Easy and fast to assemble, with high load capacities and handling convenience, their patented concept drives efficiency in logistics operations.

Ponera's reusable modular industrial packaging is therefore boasts easy and quick assembly and disassembly. It enables high load capacity for heavy duty cargo transportation and high handling convenience, as well as optimal stacking for Lean Warehousing and efficient transport for empty modules.

The solution enables up to 90% cost savings, and material savings, digital enablement, up to 85% CO2eq emissions savings and 100% process simplification. This solution bring some more relevant benefits, including extending product life-times, improved safety for workers and goods, greater traceability through IoT technology, full recyclability, and a multiple patent app.
