SLAPStack started with a simple realization: Despite all the buzz around AI and robotics, many warehouses still operate like it’s the 1990s—especially when it comes to block stacking. Our co-founder Jakob experienced this firsthand while working in logistics at a hygiene paper manufacturer.

What he noticed: block storage is flexible and space-efficient, but anything but efficient in practice—and still almost entirely manual. The reason? It’s incredibly complex, and most existing automation solutions are too rigid or expensive. Determined to change that, Jakob began digging deeper—and found three like-minded problem-solvers in Alexandru, Anna, and Sohaib. In 2024, they founded SLAPStack GmbH.

Our mission: to automate block storage with a system that doesn’t just work—but adapts, learns, and scales. With our simulation-driven approach, we’re rethinking warehouse logistics: simple, flexible, and smart.
