From wooden shoe production and postal technology to fit-to-size packaging automation. We celebrate innovation, our customers, our dedicated team and innovators of high-tech automation. Eliminating excessive packaging. Saving big on freight and the planet. The spark of automation ignites excitement!

Innovation is coded into Sparck's DNA

The journey from our surprising origins, developing machines to boost the production of wooden shoes, to becoming a global leader in the design and fabrication of advanced fit-to-size automated boxing systems, has been a curious one, full of innovation, creativity and self-reinvention. But a constant throughout has been a resourceful culture that marries ingenuity with a long heritage of engineering excellence.

The solution to the rise of e-commerce: automated packaging

Our success, from the 1950s onwards, in developing novel concepts for automating mailroom and dispatch operations put us in the right place, at the right time. When e-commerce took off, manual packing and dispatch processes soon became stretched, with a risk of failure at the peak.

Automation was the obvious answer, and we had the knowledge and drive to develop a revolutionary 3D scanning solution that would tailor-make boxes to fit single or multiple-item orders, on-demand and at incredible speeds. A new era of highly responsive, fast fulfillment was here. The machine signaled a revolution in e-commerce packaging, with a torrent of international sales that has seen Sparck’s CVP systems supplied, installed, and supported in over 15 countries across the globe.

We haven’t looked back.
