The demand for smart warehouses is growing rapidly as companies, through the utilization of artificial intelligence, seek solutions for faster delivery rhythms, transparency in material flows, and improved delivery reliability. Aksulit Oy, specializing in smart warehouse solutions, is accelerating its growth and has formed a partnership with private equity investor Midinvest. Going forward, Aksulit will focus even more strongly on scalable and productized smart warehouse solutions.
“Maintaining our growth rate and responding to the rapidly evolving needs of our customers now require us to take determined steps in product development, marketing, and sales. Midinvest’s involvement brings us exactly the broader shoulders and professional board work that we need to fully utilize the market potential and in this growth phase,” states Aksulit’s CEO Joonas Puoliväli.
Investment Director Jarkko Kosonen from Midinvest also sees the huge growth potential of smart warehouse and smart cabinet solutions amidst the industry’s disruption: “Smart warehouses produce and utilize the extensive data streams of AI in a way that directly improves customers’ profitability and agility. Self-service concepts familiar from the consumer market are now rapidly shifting to industry and business-to-business trade. Aksulit has succeeded in packaging automation and AI in an innovative way. We are helping the company scale its business and are excited to accelerate Aksulit’s next growth phase.”
Minority investment and generational handover support the growth strategy
Through the arrangement, Aksulit gains more resources and expertise to develop its business as Midinvest makes a minority investment in the company. At the same time, the generational handover carried out over the past year is finalized. In the arrangement, the main ownership of Aksulit transfers from the company’s founder Asko Puoliväli to his sons Joonas and Juho.
