Established in 1942, the company is a leading provider of sustainable, high-quality pooling and logistics solutions, serving major clients in the fast-moving consumer goods, retail, and manufacturing sectors.

Li Shichu, VP, board secretary and general counsel (Chief Compliance) of Sinotrans, said Mubadala’s investment marks “a new stage in the development of Loscam.”
He added, “The internationalisation and diversification at the shareholder level will entitle the company with a broader global perspective, advanced capital connections, and enhanced innovative momentum. Sinotrans believes that capital cooperation will better enable Loscam to expand its global presence and continue to shape a new cooperation paradigm in the logistics packaging equipment sector.”
Mohamed Albadr, head of Asia at Mubadala, said: “We are pleased to partner with Trustar Capital, FountainVest, and Sinotrans to support Loscam’s next phase of growth. We see strong potential in Loscam, particularly in Greater China and Southeast Asia, where pallet pooling remains underpenetrated. This investment reflects our long-term commitment to Asia and our focus on scaling across high-conviction sectors with leading local partners.”
Zouhir Regragui, head of Industrials & Business Services at Mubadala, added: “Dynamic pallet pooling is a critical element of contemporary logistics and has proven to be very resilient across economic cycles. We have been closely monitoring Loscam for over half a decade and are delighted to be investing in a market leader with strong fundamentals that align closely with our strategy.”
Derek Wang, partner of Trustar Capital, said: “Mubadala’s investment represents a significant milestone in Loscam’s continued growth and evolution. The company plays a vital role in advancing the standardisation and efficiency of logistics and supply chain infrastructure across the region. With Mubadala joining the shareholder base, we are confident in Loscam’s long-term prospects.”
Leon Xu, MD of FountainVest, said: “We welcome Mubadala’s investment and shared confidence in Loscam. We remain strongly convinced of Loscam’s growth potential, especially in Greater China, where the palletisation and rental markets continue to grow. FountainVest will collaborate with the company’s management and shareholders to further develop its international presence, R&D, and sales.”
Loscam CEO Sirin Limpaitoon said the investment marks “an exciting new chapter” for the company. “With the combined strength of Mubadala, Trustar Capital, FountainVest, and Sinotrans, we are well poised to continue expanding equipment pooling and supply chain innovation across Asia-Pacific,” he said.
