C. Held: "At Optima Consumer, we do not see ourselves primarily as your average machine builder, but rather as a solution provider. For us, it's always about providing customers with clear added value. We want to pave the way for growth by offering holistic solutions, which is why we also see ourselves as a development partner with an affinity for technology and a receptiveness to innovation."

H. Kühne: "Technical expertise, a cooperative approach to collaboration, and exceptional commitment – that's what excited me about Optima from day one. I receive similar feedback from our customers time and again. This creates trust and fosters a deeper partnership, which is becoming increasingly important for today's complex projects."
