What Just Pack does

Just Pack GmbH is a regional B2B packaging solutions provider headquartered in Großaspach (Aspach), Baden-Württemberg, Germany, founded in 1991 by Dirk Kallenberg and Steffen Neuwirth. The company operates as a system partner for packaging, serving manufacturing, gastronomy, e-commerce, and general B2B customers in the Baden-Württemberg region with a stated base of over 1,000 active customers. Its operations are supported by approximately 35 employees, 12,000 pallet storage spaces, and an owned fleet of 6 Euro 6-compliant trucks for regional delivery.

The company's offering is organized around three service pillars. First, it sells standard packaging materials through both a direct sales force and a B2B e-commerce platform (justpack24.com, launched February 2021). Second, it provides Kanban-based managed inventory services under the Kanban Pack+ brand, with an e-Kanban variant co-developed with Balluff that uses IoT sensors for real-time consumption-based replenishment. Third, it offers custom packaging development using an in-house ProDigi NEO high-performance cutting plotter. The operational backbone is an ecovium warehouse management system implemented in November 2021, and the company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification consecutively since 2006 and Industry 4.0 recognition awarded in May 2022.

The business model combines one-time sales of standard packaging materials, recurring managed-services revenue from Kanban/e-Kanban replenishment contracts, professional services for custom packaging development, and embedded logistics from the owned delivery fleet. GTM is primarily regional and direct, supplemented by the online shop for smaller accounts, with ecosystem partnerships (Packaging Valley, Balluff, ecovium) and event sponsorships (MHP RIESEN, Soccergolf BusinessCup) used for brand visibility. No external funding rounds or revenue figures are disclosed.
