Fuuz and Portainer Announce Strategic Partnership to Simplify Manufacturing Operations Across Edge and On-Prem Environments
Fuuz has entered a strategic partnership with Portainer to standardize container management across Fuuz Gateways and on-premise deployments used in manufacturing and industrial environments.
The partnership simplifies how manufacturers deploy, manage, and operate modern workloads across distributed plants and edge locations, without requiring deep container or infrastructure expertise.
Together, Fuuz and Portainer help manufacturers modernize industrial infrastructure while maintaining reliability, consistency, and operational control in regulated and hybrid environments.
Detroit, MI, January 22, 2026 — Fuuz, a provider of industrial edge and on-premise software solutions for manufacturers, today announced a strategic partnership with Portainer, the leading container management platform. As part of the partnership, Fuuz will standardize on Portainer across its Fuuz Gateways and on-premise Fuuz deployments, simplifying how manufacturing customers deploy, manage, and operate modern workloads across distributed and plant-level environments.
By relying on Portainer, Fuuz removes operational friction for manufacturers by standardizing container management across edge and on-prem environments. This approach reduces complexity, improves consistency, and allows customers to deploy and support applications without needing deep container or infrastructure expertise.
“Manufacturers don’t need more tools — they need fewer points of friction,” said Craig Scott, CEO of Fuuz. “By standardizing on Portainer across our Gateways and on-premise deployments, we’re simplifying how industrial applications are deployed and operated. This partnership allows our customers to define how their operations run once, then execute consistently across plants and environments, without reinventing infrastructure at every site.”
Fuuz Gateways are designed for plant-floor and edge deployments where reliability, security, and local execution are critical, while Fuuz’s on-premise solution supports manufacturers that require full control due to regulatory, operational, or connectivity constraints. Portainer’s lightweight architecture and enterprise-grade management capabilities make it a natural fit across both.
“Fuuz is solving real operational challenges in manufacturing by bringing structure and clarity to complex environments,” said Tobias Mühlnikel, Head of Industrial & IoT Business Unit at Portainer. “Portainer provides the standardized, secure container management platform that enables Fuuz to scale across plants while keeping operations simple and consistent. We’re excited to partner with Fuuz as they continue to grow.”
Together, Fuuz and Portainer enable manufacturers to modernize industrial infrastructure without increasing operational burden, helping teams focus on production, reliability, and continuous improvement.
