BRISTOL, PA — Sojo Industries announced it has raised $40 million in financing from S2G Investments, a leading investment firm specializing in sustainable solutions across food, agriculture, energy, and oceans. The funding supports the growth of Sojo’s innovative modular packaging systems that streamline supply chain operations and advance sustainability goals for brands across several industries.
Known for its patented technologies, including the mobile manufacturing system Sojo Flight™ and the track-and-trace platform Sojo Shield™, the company delivers cutting-edge solutions tailored to meet increasing demand for customized, high-speed packaging. These tools reduce costs, complexity, and environmental impact while improving operational efficiency for customers in food, beverages, e-commerce, and other consumer packaged goods (CPG) sectors.
“This investment marks a pivotal moment in our journey,” said Barak Bar-Cohen, Founder and CEO of Sojo Industries. “As consumer demand for variety and customization accelerates, brands are increasingly challenged by legacy packaging models that are slow, inflexible, and costly. S2G has deep experience in sustainable supply chain investments, and with their partnership, we are committed to delivering alternative technology solutions that reduce freight, labor, and emissions, while helping brands drive profitable innovation and get on shelf faster.”
The Sojo Flight™ system offers mobile manufacturing lines that can be set up and operational in under one hour, enabling brands to produce variety packs on-site without the need for costly and time-consuming shipping to external co-packing facilities. Additionally, Sojo Shield™ utilizes blockchain technology and advanced analytics to provide real-time geolocation, inventory management, and logistics insights, helping manufacturers optimize supply chains while reducing inefficiencies. The company’s clients have collectively saved over 5 million freight miles, contributing to significant emissions reductions.
“Sojo is addressing a core pain point in the food and beverage supply chain by tackling the fragmented, manual repackaging and distribution processes that lead to hidden costs and operational drag,” said Matthew Walker, Managing Director of S2G’s food and agriculture strategy. “As complexity grows, brands need more agility, and traditional workflows that have multiple handoffs and limited ability to adapt to dynamic market demands are no longer sustainable.”
The funding will enable Sojo to scale its Flight™ system deployments, enhance the Shield™ platform, and integrate further automation across its solution suite, positioning the company to meet growing demand from Fortune 500 brands and manufacturers.
“Sojo is a company focused on delivering solutions at the seams of the food, energy, and logistics sectors, a nexus that is a core focus of S2G’s strategy,” said Francis O’Sullivan, Managing Director of S2G’s energy strategy. “We believe Barak and his team have that rare combination of deep technical capability and operational efficiency needed to deliver disruptive innovation in packaging solutions, and we’re proud to support their growth.”
With this financing, Sojo is poised to scale its contributions to enhanced supply chain performance while supporting sustainability initiatives across the industries it serves.
