Välkommen till oss!
Consat startades 1986 och är idag en av Sveriges ledande, privatägda ingenjörshus. Bolagsgruppen växer ständigt av egen kraft i takt med en ökande efterfrågan av våra tjänster och produkter.
Vi är organiserade inom dotterbolagen Consat Engineering AB med affärsområdena Industriteknik och Elektronik & Systemutveckling, Consat Telematics AB som utvecklar och tillhandahåller ITS system för kollektivtrafik, Consat Data AB som arbetar med nätverks- och systemunderhåll och Consat Sustainable Energy Systems AB som genomför energieffektiviseringsprojekt inom kommersiella fastigheter.
Vi arbetar långsiktigt och i en nära relation med våra kunder, antingen på plats hos dem eller på något av våra kontor. Fokus i vårt arbete ligger alltid på kundnyttan.
Consat är ett helt unikt bolag! I förhållande till vår storlek finns det få om ens något bolag som håller på med så många utmanande och spännande utvecklingsprojekt.
I mer än 30 år har vi drivits av att leverera nytta till våra kunder baserat på vår genuina passion för teknik och proaktiva förhållningssätt.För oss är det viktigt att skapa långsiktiga relationer som bygger på ett förtjänat och ömsesidigt förtroende. I det ligger också att vi är tydliga med var vi själva är bra på och vad vi är mindre bra på. För att lösa avancerade och komplexa projektleveranser behöver man därför samarbeta såväl med kunder, partners och leverantörer, något som vi på Consat tvivelsutan är erkänt duktiga på.
Vår ambition är att växa kontinuerligt och organiskt i takt med en ökande efterfrågan av våra tjänster och produkter. Så länge det finns kunder med svåra problem kommer det att finnas behov av Consat!Consat är våra medarbetare och samtidigt som vi utvecklar våra erbjudanden mot kund är det lika viktigt att vi som bolag fortsätter att utveckla oss som en attraktiv arbetsgivare. Som anställd på Consat skall man få möjlighet att utvecklas genom utmanande uppdrag och projekt i en gemenskap som präglas av engagemang, entusiasm och passion.
Bolagets verksamhet bygger på våra medarbetares kompetens och vår långsiktiga relation till kunder och samarbetspartners.
Consat är ett entreprenörsdrivet företag med korta beslutsvägar. Vi anställer medarbetare med driv, engagemang och passion för teknik.
Som medarbetare skall man känna trygghet och trivsel på jobbet, få stimulans och utvecklas i sina uppdrag. Det skall uppnås dels genom tekniskt intressanta uppgifter dels genom olika aktiviteter både i och utanför arbetet som stärker de sociala banden kollegor emellan. Den enskildes utveckling och harmoni har en direkt koppling till Consats fortsatta framgångar. En god balans mellan kön och mångkulturella bakgrunder skall i detta sammanhang ses som utvecklande och positivt för verksamheten.
Våra kunder skall vara ledande inom sitt område och ha en stark finansiell bas och en ledning som förstår vikten av att man måste utveckla sina produkter och processer för en långsiktig framgång.
Vår värdegrund bygger på:
Visionen från starten 1986 var ett begränsat antal ingenjörer med fokus på utvecklingsintensiva uppdrag inom området specialmaskiner. Vår slogan ”Ingenjörer med passion för teknik” beskriver väl vad som alltid har gällt i företaget. Från namnförslaget SATCON till CONSAT, på initiativ från PRV en fredagseftermiddag, så var företaget etablerat.Långsiktiga relationer till våra kunder är och har alltid varit vårt motto.
Vårt första uppdrag erhöll vi från Volvo Bussar, en kund som än idag är med oss.
Redan från början var det viktigt för oss att satsa på personalaktiviteter utanför själva verksamheten där familjen involverades i möjligaste mån. Alltför att stärka banden till företaget och skapa en god gemenskap.
Under slutet av 1980-talet anställdes ett antal ingenjörer med bakgrund inom specialmaskiner, vilket så småningom blev grunden till vår kompetens inom området. 1992 drabbades vi av stora kundförluster i samband med finans- och bankkrisen. Vi har i en positiv bemärkelse tagit lärdom av dessa tider och i vissa delar anpassat verksamheten utifrån detta.
… vände konjunkturen och en expansion startade från en grupp på tjugo
ingenjörer och denna utveckling pågår än idag. Planen för den fortsatta expansionen var att kunderna i stor utsträckning var tillverkande industriföretag med fokus på produkt- och processutveckling i branscher med tillväxtmöjligheter.
… anställdes de första ingenjörerna med elektronik och mjukvarukompetens för uppdrag på Volvo Personvagnar. Samma år startade även vår process att skapa ett kvalitetssystem som sedermera resulterade i ett certifikat under 2000.
… tillsattes en styrelse med extern medverkan och i samband med detta diskuterades också den första treårsplanen.
… när företaget bestod av ca 45 ingenjörer, bildades tre avdelningar: Mekanik, Fordonsteknik samt Elektronik&System. Detta för att möjliggöra fortsatt expansion och att skapa förutsättningar för att utveckla respektive område.
… sjösattes så den första treårsplanen. Vi fick också möjligheten att ingå i nätverksbolaget Vehiculum som hade som affärsidé att utveckla fordonskoncept.
Samma år startade även Vinstandelsstiftelsen som är ett uttryck för ägares syn på den anställdes möjlighet att ta del av företagets vinster.
… inleddes diskussioner med ett antal företag om att bilda en gemensam front för att erbjuda Volvo Personvagnar ett alternativ till de stora konsultbolagen. Avsikten var också att trygga delägarbolagens möjlighet att göra affärer med Volvosfären.
Som ett resultat av dessa diskussioner introducerades Netgroup Engineering AB i början av år 2000. Resultatet av detta har varit att säkerställa företaget expansion/utveckling utan att för den skull lägga alla ägg i en korg.
… delar Elektronik & System upp sin verksamhet i mer kundnära områden och Industriell Automation utvecklade området produktutveckling.
I början av 2002 var vi ca 110 medarbetare som verkade inom Fordonsteknik, Industriell Automation och El & System
… genomfördes en outsourcing affär där vi övertog såväl utveckling, som merparten av Volvo Bussars medarbetare inom området Telematik.
… grundlades vår Stockholmsverksamhet i och med att vi tog över personal från en kund som drabbats av ekonomiska problem. Samma år öppnades även ett kontor på Lindholmen i Göteborg och El & System samt blivande Consat SES flyttades dit. Telematikavdelningen vinner upphandlingen av ITS system till hela Västtrafik.
… speglades av en av de värsta finanskriser världen skådat och Consat minskade därav sin omsättning med 20%. För första gången i företagets historia gick vi med förlust. Krisen blev dock ganska kortvarig och under 2010 utvecklades verksamheten positivt igen.
Tillsammans med Volvo Cars bildade vi 2009 ett konsortium för att utveckla Volvos första rena elbil C30Electric. Consats del i projektet var att ansvara för all el och mjukvaruutveckling inklusive telematik. Totalt tillverkades 400 bilar.
Enligt en fastställd plan blev det VD-byte i Consat Engineering AB till Magnus Ohlsson vid årsskiftet 2008-2009. Vid denna process blev avdelningen Telematik också ett eget bolag – Consat Telematics AB och strax därefter övergick även avdelningen Sustainable Energy Systems till att bli ett eget bolag – Consat Sustainable Energy Systems AB.
Under 2008-2011 bildades tre dotterbolag till Consat Telematics AB i USA, Kanada och Brasilien. Christian Johansson blir VD för Consat Data.
… Slår vår inhouse verksamhet rekord i leverans av Turn Key Projekt som byggts i egna verkstäder. Likaså når vi all time high i antalet genomförda exjobb.
Vi inför Scrummetodiken och agil mjukvaruutveckling samt att vi implementerar en IT infrastruktur för
continuous deployment.
Consat Telematics vinner upphandlingen av ITS system till Bergen och blir med det nordens största ITS bolag inom kollektivtrafik. Consat bildar dotterbolag i Norge.
… Dagens Industri utser Consat som ett av Sveriges 100 mest intressanta karriärsföretag.
Lindholmenkontoret ökar och flyttar in i nybyggda och större lokaler.
… Stockholmskontoret flyttar till nya lokaler vid det expansiva Friends Arena området.
… All time high med avsende på antalet inhouse projekt med leverans av industriella innovationer och produktionsutrustning.
… Consat firar 30 år och koncernen byter VD till Martin Wahlgren. Thomas Ottosson blir VD för Consat Telematics AB.
… Utses Consat till ett av Sveriges 100 mest intressanta karriärsföretag för 5:e gången i rad. En bedrift som enbart en handfull bolag lyckats med.

CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
We and our business partners are responsible for complying with the laws and regulations that apply to our environment. In addition, we must protect the environment and limit our total environmental impact throughout the value chain by working proactively to reduce the environmental footprint of our operations, products, and services, such as reducing our emissions and making choices that save our resource, for example by reusing and working for a circular economy.
We have an environmental management system that monitors and measures so that we have control over and work to continuously improve our environmental performance while we manage any risks. We request the same from our business partners. This can apply to reduced emissions, reduced use of natural resources or reduction of energy consumption or conversion to renewable energy, etc.

We are expected to ensure that our suppliers exercise due diligence in their operations to ensure that metals and minerals are procured responsibly. We will do due diligence and be able to show it on request to customers and other stakeholders.

Consequently, we shall ensure that no one are offered or receive any form of inappropriate benefit (gift, service, or hospitality) with the intention of improperly influencing a business decision, whether it be government officials or private individuals. We encourage special attention to be paid to the following situations, which are generally considered to be riskier regarding bribery and corruption:
– interaction with public officials: certain stricter rules apply when dealing with public officials; for example, simpler payments are always prohibited.
– use of intermediaries, in particular agents: many cases of bribery involve third party intermediaries (sales consultants, agents, brokers, etc.) who may use part of their compensation to provide bribes, intermediaries must be selected on the basis of appropriate selection criteria and due diligence.
– donations to charities, associations or political parties and sponsorship activities: these activities can be avenues for bribery and corruption.
If an employee of a company with whom we do business requests incorrect payment or incentives in violation of this code, we will notify the company, even if the request is denied. We and our business partners must ensure that all reports, registers and invoices are correct and complete and that they do not contain any false or misleading information.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
All situations that may involve a conflict of interest or the emergence of a conflict of interest between us and our business partners must be avoided: professional assessment, performance or decision-making for an employee with us or the business partner must remain independent of considerations that do not involve the business and cannot be influenced by private interests.
Consequently, the interests of us and / or the business partner and the personal interests of our respective employees must be kept separate. Our business partners are expected to let us know if you see something that seems unethical or suspects crime.
FAIR COMPETITION AND BUSINESS PRACTICES
We strive to always act as a fair and responsible player in the market and expect the same from our business partners. We and our business partners are therefore obliged to comply with applicable competition laws and regulations.
If a business partner has a partnership with a competitor to us, they may not share any sensitive information with the competitor and vice versa, even via third parties.
Business partners are expected to compete fairly and ethically for all business opportunities.
TRADE SANCTIONS AND EXPORT CONTROL
We and our business partners must comply with all trade sanctions applicable to us as well as relevant export control laws and regulations. Trade sanctions restrict trade and financial transactions with certain countries, companies, organizations, and individuals, while export controls restrict the export and re-export of certain “controlled” goods, software and technology without the necessary licenses or other permission from the relevant authority. It is our responsibility to check that we and our business partners as well as third party follow the trade sanctions and the export control. Violation of these rules can have significant penalties and negative consequences for us.
PROTECTION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The confidential information and / or intellectual property rights that we and our business partners share during a business relationship are always covered by confidentiality until there is a written decision that it is official or may be shared with a particular party. Only those people who need the information to do their job get the information, and only to the extent necessary. Should any unauthorized person become aware of confidential information and / or intellectual property rights, the parties concerned shall be informed immediately and start an investigation. Upon completion of work, it must be clear what information may be shared with whom.
DATA PROTECTION
We and our business partners are obligated to comply with applicable data protection laws and regulations when we process personal data in connection with our operations.
“Personal data” is defined as all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one that can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identity such as: a name, an identity number, local data, an online identity or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
In addition, business partners performing a processing activity on behalf of us are required to comply with the agreed upon specific contractual provisions. Business partners have a responsibility to protect personal data from improper disclosure, theft or misuse at all times and must immediately report to concerned parties any incident involving data.
AUDIT RIGHT
We and our business partners always can revise or be audited by second or third parties. Partly to see how compliance with our collaborations is managed, partly to ensure, for example, the quality of an assignment. This can be done at short notice but should be done as far as possible by agreement between the parties. On these occasions, everyone involved must work together for the best results and provide relevant information and demonstrate what is required.
COMPLAINTS AND COOPERATION
We think it is important to have an open and honest relationship with our business partners and therefore want us to have a continuous dialogue. If any party discovers irregularities, this must be immediately referred to appropriate authority. If it should be of such a nature that legal action may be required, it is of the utmost importance to act urgently. If you want to be anonymous when providing information, it is allowed, but it is always easier if you can return with follow-up questions to an identified person if an investigation is required. The identity of the person shall be kept confidential as far as possible. All concerned parties are expected to assist with information at the same time as information may not be disclosed to non-interested parties.
CONSEQUENCES OF VIOLATIONS
We and our business partners agree that it is a breach not to follow agreements, laws and other requirements that affect us. This applies at all levels. Violations can have consequences, such as taking measures to correct the error and ensuring that it does not happen again, damages, termination of an ongoing business or other relevant action. This must be done in writing so that no ambiguities arise
