sennder secures €228m in new financing for European growth
The funding includes €155m in financing facilities and €73m in fresh equity from existing investors, led by Scania and Poste Italiane.
Berlin-based digital road freight forwarder sennder has secured €228 million in new financing to support its growth across Europe, including the expansion of its transport network, technology platform and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.
The funding comprises €155 million in financing facilities from Coface, the European Investment Bank (EIB), cflox and Deutsche Bank, along with €73 million in additional equity from existing shareholders over the past two years. The equity investment was led by Scania and Poste Italiane.
The €155 million financing package includes a €100 million non-recourse factoring facility with Coface, a €40 million facility with the EIB and a €15 million Supply Chain Finance programme with cflox and Deutsche Bank.
The new financing will support sennder's working capital requirements by covering the period between payments to carriers and receipts from customers. It will also allow the company to use more of its equity capital for business expansion, technology development and AI capabilities.
The €73 million equity investment has supported the acquisition and integration of C.H. Robinson's European Surface Transportation business, including its integration into sennder's technology platform, sennOS.
The company will also use the funding to expand its transport network and roll out its technology platform and AI agents to shippers, carriers and other freight forwarders.
The Supply Chain Finance programme, which has been operational since August 2026, allows more than 40,000 carriers in sennder's network to receive payments earlier. All three financing facilities are operational and have already been drawn.
The announcement follows sennder's October 21, 2026 update that it had achieved positive monthly earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), without adjustments. The company also said it was on track to achieve IFRS EBITDA profitability for the full year 2026 and reach €1 billion in annual revenue.
sennder said the new financing structure would strengthen its liquidity and financial flexibility while limiting dilution for existing shareholders.
David Nothacker, Co-Founder and CEO of sennder, said the funding would support the company's next phase of growth, including the expansion of its network, technology platform and AI capabilities.
