BOLOGNA, Italy – The Optima Group established a new site in Bologna with OPTIMA machinery Italy S.r.l. This step further expands the company’s international presence and specifically strengthens its proximity to customers in the Italian market. Italy is one of Europe’s leading locations for the pharmaceutical and packaging industries.
The pharmaceutical sector in particular has been experiencing strong growth for years and is continuously investing in modern production and filling technologies. With its new site, Optima is now creating a direct point of contact for Italian customers – with short communication channels, on-site technical expertise, and an improved range of services.
“With OPTIMA machinery Italy, we are moving closer to our customers in the pharmaceutical and consumer sectors,” explains Walter Hofmann, Managing Director of Amotek. “Our customers benefit from direct support, faster response times, and even closer cooperation on projects.”
The new company acts as the central brand for the pharmaceutical and consumer sector in Italy, complementing the activities of Amotek S.r.l., which continues to operate successfully as an established secondary brand in the nonwovens goods sector.
Both companies collaborate closely as part of a two-brand strategy to leverage synergies and offer customers a comprehensive range of services – from packaging solutions for consumer goods to high-precision filling and production systems for the pharmaceutical industry.
“The establishment of OPTIMA machinery Italy is a clear commitment to the strategic development of the Italian market,” says Christoph Müller, CFO of the Optima Group. “Together with Amotek, we are focusing on customer proximity, service quality, and innovative solutions. This is supported by our modern organizational structure and the use of shared resources through the shared service model.”
Another milestone: Laura Magnani was welcomed as the 600th employee at one of Optima Group’s international subsidiaries through her role in the Shared Service team at the Optima Service Parts Center – a clear sign of the company’s continuous growth and increasing international strength.
