Software Factory GmbH – Management
Dr Thomas Trägler, Eng.
„After 28 years as an entrepreneur, the VUCA world is nothing new. Courage and responsibility have always been essential. Digitalisation and automation have been part of Software Factory’s vision right from the start – developing software solutions that do not exist on the market and that benefit the customer. Technologically, a great deal has changed; the industry is becoming faster, greener and more digital. We want to play our part in this, together with our staff.“
Christian Krasenbrink, Graduate Engineer
„I have been working in the technology sector for over 25 years – more than 20 of those in the automotive industry. At Software Factory, I have found the perfect environment in which to make strategic decisions and drive innovation. My vision is to solve real-world challenges efficiently and sustainably using intelligent software.“
Dr.-Eng. Rainer Stetter
„When we founded Software Factory in 1992, none of us could have imagined that software would come to play such a significant role in both our personal and professional lives. Our growth shows that we were absolutely right to focus on „manufacturing“ software professionally and ensuring IT quality. It’s wonderful to know that, through my work, I can help shape an innovative future. My job is my calling.“
