Furthermore, it will solidify and expand the company&#8217;s presence in the European market by providing a second base of operations after Limerick, Ireland.<\/p>\n<p> In addition to the acquisition, a close collaboration between OPTEL and K\u00f6rber&#8217;s Business Area Pharma is planned in the future. The two companies plan to sign a partnership agreement whereby OPTEL becomes K\u00f6rber&#8217;s preferred partner for track-and-trace solutions for the pharmaceutical industry.<\/p>\n<p> Since its founding in 1989, OPTEL has become the world&#8217;s foremost provider of track-and-trace solutions to the pharmaceutical industry. Its acquisitions in recent years have positioned it as the only company with the ability to provide complete, full-stack supply chain traceability. The Canadian multinational has since diversified into other industries, including consumer-packaged goods, metals and minerals, and agrochemicals. The acquisition of the track-and-trace unit of the K\u00f6rber Business Area Pharma (formerly known as Traxeed) is expected to accelerate further expansion.<\/p>\n<p> ABOUT OPTEL  OPTEL is a leading global provider of traceability systems whose goal is to use its innovative technologies to build a sustainable world through the Intelligent Supply Chain.<\/p>\n<p> OPTEL is the only company with the ability to offer complete end-to-end traceability, providing granular data at every step of the supply chain \u2013 from raw materials to the consumer and beyond.<\/p>\n<p> Founded in 1989, OPTEL is a Certified B Corporation headquartered in Canada, with facilities in Ireland, India and Brazil, as well as employees worldwide.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content-10\" id=\"trade-656693271\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- in_content_3_news -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2969612066\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p> For more information, visit optelgroup.com and follow us on social media: LinkedIn, Youtube, Twitter.<\/p>\n<p> ABOUT K\u00d6RBER  We are K\u00f6rber \u2013 an international technology group with about 10,000 employees, more than 100 locations worldwide and a common goal: We turn entrepreneurial thinking into customer success and shape the technological change.
