Our Name
The name machCon stands for our values: efficiency, precision and drive.
But why are we called machCon?
"mach" is a dimension-independent parameter in fluid mechanics for velocities, primarily used in aviation. The highest demands for precision, efficiency and accuracy serve us, just as they do aviation, as a guide for our smart consulting services. Furthermore, "mach" stands for an action-oriented imperative that reflects our proactive and passionate approach.
"Con" stands for Consulting and underlines our aspiration to be a thought leader and pioneer in our field of activity. We continuously work towards our vision of becoming one of the leading partners for IT & compliance in the DACH region.
Corporate Culture
What Drives Us
Our values form the foundation for everything we do — within our team and with our clients.
Honesty Is the Best Policy
We stand for respectful, honest and open interaction with one another, both within the team and with our clients. Only in this way do we ensure a strong foundation and long-term success.
The Whole Is Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts
Our work is like a living organism: every single element, no matter how small, fulfils an important task. We are all part of something great and strive with joy and passion for peak performance.
Standing Still Is Not an Option for Us
Thanks to our tireless commitment, we are a valued partner at our clients' side. We continuously develop ourselves, remain open to trends, are always one step ahead and deliver the best service quality at eye level.
