About us
After several years as partners, managing partners and board members of a technological group of companies, the business partners decided to make their experience available for new projects and customers. With the acquired know-how in the development and operation of an internationally operating plant engineering company (EPC+OM), the goal was to bring this competence into dynamic technologically driven start-ups. The former business partnership resulted in advancon GmbH in 2019.
The founder and owner of advancon GmbH is Lukas Obrist,
Dipl. Eng. (Communication & Information Technology)
