Cartonara, the e-commerce start-up of Thimm Group, has been working alongside a new logistics partner since October. By switching to Zufall logistics group, Cartonara is setting the course for broadening its product range and expanding into new markets in the D-A-CH region.
Cartonara is broadening its position in sales and logistics to support the further growth trajectory of the company. With Zufall logistics group as its new logistics partner, the start-up is paving the way for its planned further development into a full-range supplier, as Managing Director Michael Weber explains, “We want to significantly expand our product range and offer our customers comprehensive packaging solutions. To achieve this, we need a strong logistics network and more flexible warehouse capacities. Zufall group, which like Thimm is a family-business based in southern Lower Saxony, can offer us both.”
Cartonara has been expanding the wide product range of the Northeim-based packaging specialists with an e-commerce platform since March 2018. Over the past few years, the corporate start-up has delivered a positive performance. Cartonara’s specialised e-commerce solutions have already enabled it to develop its own product innovations. The product range is to be significantly expanded in the future. The objective is to service the entire demand for e-commerce packaging solutions. Weber adds, “This not only includes folding boxes and shipping boxes, we also want to offer our customers a comprehensive package of solutions for all their online shipping needs. In our future product range, in addition to classic packaging, we also want to include cushioning materials and products for equipping warehouse and office premises.”
Commercial customers will also benefit from additional services such as the fast delivery of very small quantities into city centres. This is especially interesting for retailers who want to Ship from Store directly. The start-up is also planning to expand into other European markets, especially in the D-A-CH region. From the first half of 2022, also customers in Austria will be able to purchase the diverse packaging solutions from the Cartonara online shop.
