CLEVELAND, March 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- With over 20 years of experience improving and automating customers' order fulfillment processes, e3neo's team provides optimal solutions across a variety of vendor platforms to meet the needs of high-volume fulfillment operations. By utilizing a turnkey approach of consulting, implementation and service, e3neo has improved fulfillment operations for customers in a wide variety of industries and geographies. Solutions range from integrating with customer warehouse management software for optimizing packaging dimensions, to carton erection, in-the-box product fixation, and rightsizing and closing boxes. Through experienced project management, elements are combined to reduce cost and increase productivity based on the customer's unique application requirements. 

Ranpak CEO Stephen Kovach commented: "We have carved out a market leading position with our in-the-box packaging solutions over the past decades. Customers choose Ranpak for the quality of protection, the efficiency our systems bring to their packaging operations and the sustainability of our paper-based solutions. Warehouse automation is increasingly important to achieve efficiency and productivity in packaging operations. With the acquisition of e3neo we are expanding our options for customers who want to take packaging automation to the next level. The proven technology and expertise of e3neo are crucial for us to cater to the needs of high volume fulfillment operations and will be important to our growth strategy."  Jean-Yves Sia and Uwe Klärner, founder and co-founder of e3neo stated:  "We are very excited about the acquisition by Ranpak.
