Handtmann Processing Integrates Inotec Line, Realigns Reutlingen Site

Biberach/Reutlingen, November 11, 2025 – Handtmann Processing is continuing to optimize its site structures and has successfully integrated the Inotec product line into its global corporate structures and standard processes. This move is part of the company’s long-term strategy aimed at further strengthening its market position as a leading provider of holistic production and line solutions. The company is thereby laying the foundation for even closer integration of the technology areas of product preparation, processing, and handling, as well as their seamless interfaces to up- and downstream solutions.

Effective January 1, 2026, all processes for new and used machines within the respective organizational units will be centrally managed via standard processes at the Biberach site. Spare parts management for the Inotec Product Line will also be fully incorporated into the organization at the Biberach site. As a result, customers worldwide will benefit from optimal spare parts availability through the state-of-the-art logistics center at headquarters, as well as from all relevant and comprehensively optimized support and service offerings.

Another advantage is that, going forward, Handtmann Reutlingen will serve as a technology campus for process and line technology of the Inotec Product Line—with a clear focus on development and project planning. Food processing companies will benefit directly from innovations and technical advancements that provide them with sustainable added value and real advantages in daily production operations.

“With the integration of the Inotec Product Line into our global structures, we are optimizing our value chain and leveraging synergies that offer our customers practical benefits in their daily business worldwide. At the same time, they benefit from innovations generated by the targeted strengthening of our development expertise at the Reutlingen Campus,” says CTO/COO Dr. Mark Betzold.
