This diversity of personalities with various backgrounds and interests received immediate assistance and individual advice from Mr. Rück, Project Engineer and expert for real-time simulations at WinMOD, Mr. Huber, Branch Manager for Medical Engineering, and Mr. Rudé, Division Manager for Electrical Engineering and Information Technology.

31.07.2008 – A New Company Vision Online
Is it possible for the values and culture of a company to change? This is a question that the management of konplan has been discussing. As a result of continual growth, many things at konplan have changed - the fundamental values have remained the same, but over the years the most important elements have been identified and solidifed, and the character of konplan has been further strengthened.
Two very important things have, however, not changed - konplan continues to stand for the highest level of quality and long-term partnerships.
This value evolution is reflected in the newly revised mission statement, which can be found 
here on our website.

Bills can now be produced without the use of paper, but still comply with the law.

Companies entitled to pre-tax allowances/input tax deductions will receive bills that conform to the regulations of V.A.T. law, with participating contractors not needing any kind of signature device.

10.01.2008 – New looking konplan
As a result of the development of konplan's corporate design, the company's appearance has changed. Now mainly in white with several reappearing elements, the corporate design fits creatively with the dynamics of the market.
In addition to the company green, 3 departmental colors have been introduced. This will serve to distinguish between konplan's core business areas, though without losing their connectivity.
A complete redesign of the website is planned for the 4th quarter in which all elements of the new corporate design will be implemented.
