On 4 July, the starting shot was fired for the 4th AOK Company Run in the Optima Sportpark. More Optima employees than ever before took part in the running event. Despite hot temperatures, great results were achieved.

On 26 June, Optima Pharma's new assembly hall was inaugurated. It has been named the CSPE Center. In what was a festive ceremony, Hans Buehler, the Managing Director of the Optima Group, handed over the ultra-modern building to the staff of Optima Pharma.

Optima is breaking new ground at the 2019 FachPack trade show in Nuremberg. The focus is on exciting discussions about the industry's hot topics: sustainability and digitalization. External experts and partners offer a unique opportunity to engage in roundtable discussions on sustainability and to explore new ideas on the spot.

Optima will be represented at Propak China as a provider of leading “made in Germany” packaging technology with a strong presence in China. Optima’s subsidiary in Shanghai offers services ranging from extensive customer care through to project development and servicing. At Propak China, Optima will be primarily focusing on packaging solutions for infant powdered milk, capsule portion packaging, and cosmetic products.

The nonwovens market in Asia – especially in China – is very active. Products such as adult diapers are still a relatively new segment here. At the same time, local nonwovens manufacturers are gaining market share. It is therefore important to be able to offer machine models for entry into semi- and fully automated packaging for all segments.

The Optima Group will be exhibiting two machines at Expo Pack. The international trade show for the packaging industry will be held from June 11 to 13 in Guadalajara, Mexico. Visitors can get an impression of the company’s expertise from the machines on display: the OPTIMA FM1 and the SD €co. Optima experts will also be on hand with information about the Group's entire portfolio.
