    61 - Hanko Kiessner, Executive Chairman of the Board at Packsize

    Hanko Kiessner, Executive Chairman of Packsize, recounts his journey from a small town in Germany to founding Packsize in Utah in 2002, starting operations from his parents' basement. He explains how Packsize utilizes Z-fold corrugated technology and enterprise-grade software to create on-demand, right-sized packaging, addressing the industry-wide problem of oversized boxes and excessive void fill. Kiessner highlights the sustainability benefits, noting that eliminating oversized packaging could save 98 million trees and 24 million truckloads annually in the US alone, while also improving customer experience and product protection. The company is currently scaling its platform to reduce the estimated 50 million daily bad packaging experiences, leveraging its own sustainable infrastructure, including solar power and EV charging, to support its mission.
