Delta Logic brings extensive expertise in communication between PC-based systems and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to Softing Industrial. A particular focus is on software solutions based on OPC UA – the globally leading technology for cross-system data exchange between products from different manufacturers. One of Delta Logic’s core areas is software and hardware products around the Siemens controller range. 

These solutions perfectly complement Softing Industrial’s strategic core business and open up new growth opportunities in the field of industrial data communication.

Integration by early 2026

As of April 11, 2025, the management of Delta Logic Automatisierungstechnik GmbH has been assumed by Thomas Hilz and Thomas Rummel, the joint Managing Directors of Softing Industrial. Full integration into the Softing Industrial organization is planned for the end of 2025. At that point, the Delta Logic brand will also be fully migrated, with all products and solutions operating under the name Softing Industrial going forward.

Thomas Hilz, Managing Director of Softing Industrial, stated: “We’ve known the Delta Logic team for many years through joint development work. We are delighted to welcome our new colleagues and look forward to driving further growth for Delta Logic’s products through Softing’s international sales network.” Thomas Rummel, also Managing Director of Softing Industrial, added: “The expertise developed by company founder Rainer Hönle in accessing Siemens controllers is unmatched in the market. This know-how ideally complements our portfolio in the field of industrial communication.”

Petra Hönle, former Managing Director of Delta Logic Automatisierungstechnik GmbH, commented: “I see Softing as the ideal company to competently continue our product line. I am convinced that the successful development that has characterized Delta Logic since its founding in 1993 will continue under Softing’s leadership.”
