SwipBox welcomes BU as growth partner to accelerate European expansion
Funds advised by BU Bregal Unternehmerkapital (“BU”), a mid-cap investor headquartered in the DACH region, have agreed terms with EIFO – the Danish Export and Investment Fund – and the Clausen Group to acquire a majority stake in INPS, the holding company behind SwipBox International A/S.
The partnership marks a natural next step in SwipBox’s development. With EIFO and Clausen Group as long-term backers, SwipBox has built a strong foundation and grown into a financially sustainable company with a proven platform and clear potential for further scale. Partnering with BU, SwipBox is now positioned to accelerate its international expansion and strengthen its role as a leading European platform for automated parcel locker networks.
Jan C. von Backhaus, Chairman of INPS and SwipBox, said: “We are very pleased to have found a long-term partner for SwipBox with deep expertise in industrial technology and scalable platform businesses, making BU an ideal partner to strengthen SwipBox’s platform and accelerate its growth across Europe.”
“BU knows the market very well and strongly believes in our business, our people and our long-term potential. Together, we will take SwipBox to the next level. I am particularly pleased that SwipBox will continue to operate as a 100% independent supplier of automated parcel locker networks to all parcel distributors in the market,” added Jens Rom, CEO of SwipBox, pictured left.
Kasper Sørensen, Partner at BU, said: “BU is proud that SwipBox’s initial backers, the Danfoss family and EIFO, have selected BU as the next majority owner and long-term partner for the continued development of SwipBox, enabling the company to partner more effectively with both new and existing customers and to support their growth in key European markets such as Germany.”
Felix Werdin, Partner at BU, said: “SwipBox is exceptionally well positioned in one of the fastest-growing segments of last-mile delivery. Its differentiated battery-powered locker technology, strong cloud-based software platform and long-standing customer relationships give the company a clear competitive advantage. We look forward to partnering with the SwipBox team to scale the business across Europe, supporting both organic growth and selective acquisitions, and actively driving value creation to further strengthen SwipBox’s market position over the long term.”
As part of the transaction, SwipBox’s management team will invest and continue to drive the company’s long-term growth strategy.
The parties have agreed not to disclose the financial terms of the transaction. The main terms of the transaction were agreed in December 2025, and completion is expected following the fulfilment of customary regulatory and practical conditions during the first quarter of 2026.
