RADNOR, PA — Hidden River Strategic Capital has announced a significant investment in Seedbox Solution, a company specializing in reusable packaging and fleet management for the seed industry. The funding, carried out in partnership with Granite Creek Capital Partners and Everside Capital Partners, enabled a management-led buyout of Seedbox’s previous majority owner and provided resources for the company’s future growth.
Seedbox Solution focuses on making bulk, reusable seed boxes more accessible and cost-effective. The company operates globally but maintains a strong local presence with service hubs in the Midwest, including major facilities in Good Hope, Illinois, and Shenandoah, Iowa.

Following the investment, Seedbox’s leadership team, including Co-Founder and CEO Matt Dannenfeldt, will remain at the helm. Dannenfeldt expressed optimism about what the partnership will bring for the business. “The investment from Hidden River positions us to invest in a variety of growth initiatives to better serve our customers, including expanding our seed box wash and repair business and growing our unified box rental/service,” he said. “We will also be able to expedite the introduction of cutting-edge ‘smart box’ technology, allowing our customers to monitor seed product location, health, and status in real-time through the supply chain.”
Hidden River’s investment aligns with its strategy of providing flexible capital to strong, innovative businesses. Todd Morrissey, Co-Founder and Partner at Hidden River, praised Seedbox’s leadership and vision. “We are thrilled to support the Seedbox management team as they continue to drive efficiency and innovation throughout the seed industry supply chain,” Morrissey said. “This transaction aligns perfectly with our investment strategy of providing flexible structured capital to strong businesses led by exceptional management teams. We see significant potential in Seedbox’s capacity to innovate and streamline supply chain logistics within the agricultural sector.”
