Crossshelf

Crossshelf is an innovative organization that designs modular shelving solutions for retail and logistics. Founded in 2014 in Berlin, Germany, the company emerged from a team of industrial designers and engineers who sought to reduce waste in the storage systems industry. Its flagship product, the Crossshelf Modular Storage System, uses a combination of high‑strength aluminum frames and recyclable composite panels that can be easily assembled without the need for permanent fixtures. The system is marketed toward small to medium‑sized businesses, large warehouses, and e‑commerce fulfillment centers.

Crossshelf focuses on sustainability. The materials used are 100 percent recyclable, and the company partners with suppliers that accept end‑of‑life components for refurbishment. Additionally, the modularity of the system allows customers to upgrade shelves incrementally, extending the lifespan of their infrastructure. The company has maintained a steady growth rate, expanding its product line to include adjustable‑height sections and integrated sensor technology for inventory tracking.

Crossshelf is an open platform; it provides an API that lets customers integrate shelf management with their existing warehouse management systems. Partners include several logistics firms, as well as tech startups that incorporate Crossshelf components into automated picking robots.

The company has received several awards, including the German Design Award in 2017 and the Sustainable Product of the Year at the European Retail Technology Awards in 2019. In 2023, Crossshelf announced plans to launch a cloud‑based shelf monitoring dashboard. The enterprise has a workforce of roughly 180 employees across offices in Germany, the United States, and Singapore.
