The family day took place at Optima on July 13th. The event for the employees of the German locations and their families attracted more visitors than ever before – the company counted 3,600. There was also more on offer than ever before: celebrations took place in and around the company building in Schwäbisch Hall's Solpark industrial park. Numerous hands-on activities from various partners of the company, a wide range of culinary offerings, capoeira shows and children's play areas delighted young and old alike.

"This year, the guided tours through the new Optima logistics center and the machine demonstrations met with great interest," reports Carmen Spitzenberger from the Optima Marketing Department, who organized the internal event together with Vanessa Utz. Another highlight was the new Optima Benefits Guide, which employees in the HR department distributed.
