Celebrating 5 Years of parcelLab!

How It All Started

Tobias Buxhoidt and Julian Krenge connected through a matchmaking event at EU funding program "SpeedUp Europe." Anton Eder joined as the third founder through a job advertisement on the startup scene.

Through their logistics experience, the three recognized in 2014 that changes were needed in how retailers treated customers. The concept for parcelLab emerged from discussions with retailers who complained about lacking transparency and customer experience during shipping.

Our History

The company grew from three founders to over 80 operations experience experts across four offices in Munich, London, Paris, and Los Angeles.
