Our business is based on the competency of our employees and our long-term relationship with customers and partners.

Consat is a company which maintains an entrepreneurial spirit and a short decision-making chain. We hire employees who are drivers, who like to engage, and who have a passion for technology.

As an employee, it is important to feel safe, enjoy work, be stimulated and develop with each assignment. This shall be accomplished by technically interesting tasks and activities inside and outside of the office to create close ties between colleagues. The individual development and harmony has a direct impact on the continued success of the company. A diverse, multi-cultural work force and gender balance is positive and helps our business develop.

Our customers shall be leaders in their respective areas, have a strong financial base and management who understand that product and process development is essential to achieve long term success.

Our core values are based on:

• A long-term view
• Competency
• Engagement
• Ability to innovate
• Cooperation

The vision when the company was founded in 1986 was a limited number of engineers with a focus on development intensive assignments in the area of specialized machines.Our slogan “Engineers with a passion for technology” is a good description of what has always been the focus of the company.

Our first assignment was with Volvo Buses which is still one of our customers.

Already from the start it was our goal to foster interpersonal relationships and create strong ties to the organization.We arranged social activities outside the business where respective families were also encouraged to participate.
