Böwe Systec GmbH has announced that it has expanded with the acquisition of 70% of the shares in Optimus Sorter Holding BV, based in Beuningen, The Netherlands.

Optimus Sorter specialises in designing, developing and manufacturing sorting and conveyor systems.

Joachim Koschier and Manfred Barwan, managing directors of Böwe Systec, commented: ‘Together with Optimus Sorter we have successfully realised a project in the postal and parcel market and came to the mutual conclusion that our businesses complement each other very well. We are particularly pleased about the fact that we have managed to join forces so quickly and harmoniously.’

The two founders and managing directors of Optimus Sorter, Jack de Bruijn and Albert Hendriks, who will continue holding 30% of the company’s shares as well as acting as managing directors, consider the merger to yield great potential for future development: ‘Optimus Sorter operates in fast growing global markets. As partners with Böwe Systec we will be able to realise further projects, especially in the postal and parcel market, in the future. Moreover, the cooperation offers excellent prospects for marketing our innovative systems and services worldwide. The merger clearly is a win-win situation for both companies.’
