ABOUT US

A start-up with experience: the best of both worlds.

With Optimate you get both. Visionary thinking and decades of experience. Advanced machine learning and human know-how.

WHAT DRIVES US

We’re always on the lookout for optimization.

With TRUMPF as our parent company, the leader in sheet metal processing, we see it as our responsibility to deliver excellence - always looking for the optimum. In a world of rigid product development, we believe in the power of constantly better-thought solutions.
