Wappler formed Surgere in 2004 with the idea of parachuting into companies to help them solve packaging problems.

It became a foundation technology as Surgere expanded into other technology solutions. Today, Wappler continues working with clients with one goal in mind – reduce costs and increase productivity – all while creating visibility throughout the supply chain.
