Christoph Held has been the new Managing Director of Optima Consumer GmbH since September.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Packaging machine manufacturer<\/strong> Optima from Schw\u00e4bisch Hall is getting ready for 2022, which involves a major construction programme. Last year, the company renovated several office buildings and expanded its premises. Now the go-ahead has been given for the construction of a new <strong>logistics centre<\/strong>. In the Solpark in Schw\u00e4bisch Hall, the previously differently organised departments of the <strong>Materials management<\/strong> are not only combined in terms of location. At the turn of the year, they will be combined in the form of an independent company under the management of Heiko Funk. Funk will then act as Managing Director of the new \u201eOptima materials management GmbH\u201c.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Managing Director<\/strong> of the new materials management company, drove the construction projects forward together with the Head of Optima Facility Management, Matthias Dietz. The logistics centre will cover an area of 6,000 square metres and provide space for 3,000 <strong>Pallet bays<\/strong> and an automatic <strong>Small parts warehouse<\/strong> for around 60,000 articles.<\/p><div class=\"packa-in-post-alle\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"packa-2379848960\"><div id=\"packa-524435065\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/newsletter\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"PJ Self-promotion English 03\"><!--noptimize--><img src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png 840w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-332x83.png 332w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-664x166.png 664w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-688x172.png 688w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" width=\"840\" height=\"210\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><!--\/noptimize--><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Behind the entire construction programme was the idea of <strong>Process optimisation<\/strong>.
