R+E Automation Technology GmbH was renamed OPTIMA automation GmbH in July 2019. The company produces assembly systems for medical consumables and feeding systems. The new name is intended to emphasise the company's affiliation with the Schwäbisch Hall-based family group and is part of a multi-year integration process.
„By changing our name, we are also giving formal expression to the increasing integration of R+E Automation into the Optima Group,“ says Michael Becher, Managing Director of the company.
Optima Automation, based in Fellbach, has been part of the Optima Group since July 2016. The new name better reflects the current development and emphasises the affiliation to the parent company. The collaboration between R+E and Optima had become increasingly intensive - from joint market cultivation to the joint development of new machines.
More flexibility and expertise in system configuration
Optima Automation expands the Optima Group's portfolio, particularly in the area of assembly systems, and gives the Group's customers even more flexibility in the customised configuration of assembly systems. Filling and packaging systems. The change will have no impact on the company's co-operation with customers, suppliers and partners, only the company's image will change. In future, it will operate under the Optima Group logo. Customers, suppliers and partners will be informed of the change.

For synergy effects
The expertise of the new partner - particularly from the medical technology sector - has been put to profitable use in many projects. Also for new developments - such as the new OPTIMA ImmuFill® - Optima Automation contributed crucial expertise to this project. The company's latest innovation is the BCT-200, a complete modular solution for the assembly and packaging of blood collection tubes. „The order situation at Optima Automation is very good,“ reports Michael Becher and is looking forward to many more joint projects.
