Seedbox Solution, a portfolio company of Granite Creek, today announced its strategic merger with Trace Engineering, a Colorado-based hardware and software engineering firm. Seedbox is a provider of reusable packaging, fleet management, and technology-enabled monitoring solutions to the seed industry.
The merger builds on an existing collaboration between Seedbox and Trace and advances development of Seedbox’s BOXIQ platform by bringing engineering capabilities fully in-house. BOXIQ provides customers with real-time visibility into seed inventory, asset location, and quality metrics through a single connected system.
“Trace has been a trusted partner, and bringing its engineering expertise directly into Seedbox strengthens our ability to build and scale BOXIQ,” said Matt Dannenfeldt, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Seedbox. “This positions us to expand the capabilities we can offer customers across the seed industry and in adjacent markets where real-time product monitoring is increasingly critical.”
“Seedbox has demonstrated a clear strategic vision and a focused approach to growth,” said Peter Lehman, Partner at Granite Creek. “Integrating the engineering capabilities of Trace strengthens Seedbox’s ability to execute on its IoT strategy and further reinforces our conviction in the long-term opportunity to build differentiated, technology-driven solutions for the agricultural supply chain.”
“We are excited to join forces with Seedbox and bring our engineering expertise into a broader operating platform to build reliable, scalable IoT solutions for our customers,” said Kevin Grimstad, President of Trace Engineering.
