A broader financing package strengthens financia l flexibility and supports future growth
The €73 million in equity raised from existing investors has supported the successful acquisition and integration of C.H. Robinson’s European Surface Transportation business, including its full integration onto sennder’s proprietary technology platform, sennOS. The investment also supports sennder’s next phase of growth, including the expansion of its core transport network and the rollout of its technology platform and AI agents to shippers, carriers and other freight forwarders, driving greater efficiency and scale across the European road freight market.
Led by Scania CV AB and Poste Italiane S.p.A., the funding was subscribed entirely by existing shareholders, demonstrating their continued confidence in sennder’s strategy and long-term growth potential.
Alongside the equity investment, sennder has secured €155 million in new financing facilities to support its working capital requirements by bridging the period between carrier payments and customer receipts. These facilities enable sennder to allocate more of its equity capital towards accelerating growth, expanding its technology platform and scaling its AI capabilities.
Together, the equity investment and financing facilities provide sennder with a diversified and scalable financing structure, strengthening liquidity and financial flexibility while limiting shareholder dilution. The result is a stronger financial foundation that enables sennder to fund its day-to-day operations efficiently while investing in long-term growth, technology and innovation.
Backed by established institutions and a long-standing partner
The €155 million combines three instruments. A €100 million non-recourse factoring line with Coface, a €40 million facility with the European Investment Bank (EIB), and a €15 million Supply Chain Finance programme with cflox and Deutsche Bank. Coface is a well-established financing partner within the logistics and transport industry, and the EIB’s participation reflects its mandate to support innovation and the decarbonization of transport in Europe. The cflox programme, utilizing Deutsche Bank’s cash management infrastructure and live since August 2026, allows more than 40,000 carriers in sennder’s network to be paid earlier. All three facilities are live and already being drawn.
