At EIKONA Logistics we are pleased to announce that Main Capital Parnters has acquired a majority stake in our company. This step follows Schäflein AG's strategic exit from its stake in the company. For us, this means having a strong partner for the future and maintaining full continuity for our customers, partners, and employees.

What does this mean for EIKONA Logistics?

In short: it makes us stronger and nothing will change for our customers in terms of operations. Founder Manuel Drescher and our entire management team will remain permanently involved and active in the company. For you, this ensures full continuity — the same points of contact, the same high standards of quality, and the same reliability you know and trust.

Continuation of successful cooperation with Schäflein AG

Special thanks go to Schäflein AG, which has accompanied and supported EIKONA Logistics for over 20 years. We are delighted to be continuing our partnership and remain the technology partner for the Schäflein Group. This shared path will remain unchanged.

A strong partner for our next steps

With Main Capital Partners, we gain an experienced investor who shares our vision for the continued development of interoperable logistics software in Europe. We aim to continue advancing the internationalisation of our solutions and to strengthen our position as a leading integration layer within complex logistics networks, working together to achieve this. This partnership will provide the additional resources and expertise needed to advance our platform technology sustainably over the long term.


Sven van Berge Henegouwen, Managing Partner & Head of DACH at Main Capital Partners, said:

‘EIKONA occupies a key position in a market that is poised for a further phase of professionalisation and integration. The enterprise platform offers a structural approach to better data and process networking in logistics networks. We see considerable potential to work with management to further develop the company into a pan-European provider of networked logistics software.’


Looking ahead

We look forward to the coming months and years – together with our new partner, our customers, our long-standing associates and, of course, our entire team. As demands on logistics networks continue to grow, and we are confident that, with our combination of continuity, strong partnerships, and a clear forward-looking strategy, we are well placed to actively drive and shape this growth.
