LEO locative for in-house material handling
About Newmatik
Newmatik GmbH is an innovative electronics manufacturer with nearly 40 years of experience and the spirit of a startup. Founded in 1990 as ESO Electronic Service Ottenbreit GmbH, the company was renamed Newmatik in 2023 to underscore its forward-looking focus. Today, Newmatik is an internationally active specialist in printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) with locations in Germany and Romania and customers on five continents.
At its headquarters in Hennweiler, Rhineland-Palatinate, Newmatik offers express services such as 10-day rapid prototyping and engineering support, while the facility in Lipova, Romania, enables cost-efficient series production. With over 100 employees, the company combines German engineering expertise with digitalization, automation, and a clear vision: to revolutionize electronics manufacturing online.
What unites BITO and Newmatik is not only their geographical proximity in Rhineland-Palatinate, but also a close partnership based on mutual respect. Newmatik not only uses our innovative intralogistics solution, LEO, in its own processes, but is also a key supplier to us: the electronic components fitted in our LEO vehicles come directly from their production facilities. This mutual collaboration creates genuine synergies – we benefit from Newmatik’s expertise in electronics manufacturing, whilst Newmatik puts our automation solutions into practice and develops them further. This results in a strong partnership that combines innovation, quality and regional value creation.
