  • Bisedge

    Led · Equity · May 2026

    Bisedge operates a “Zero CapEx” model that supplies customers with electric forklifts, reach trucks, and tractors from Linde Material Handling under outsourced and long-term rental arrangements. The company positions this model as reducing total cost of ownership, lowering emissions by replacing diesel and gas equipment, and improving intralogistics efficiency and uptime. Bisedge is the exclusive Linde partner in Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, and South Africa and supports operations across Sub-Saharan Africa and the Gulf Cooperation Council region. It employs more than 1,250 colleagues across these markets. Co-founded by Christian Wessels (CEO) and Jasper Graf von Hardenberg (COO), Bisedge plans to use the new capital to expand its electric fleet and scale service operations across the continent. The company emphasizes performance-driven solutions and sustainability as central to its growth plans.
