Facts and figures

codecentric was founded in 2004 with the aim of "making code better". The ambition to do things differently – and better. – characterizes our company culture in all our activities.

Doing things differently

At codecentric, we challenge the status quo and deal with the latest technological issues. We do this by trusting our colleagues and investing time and energy in innovation and next-generation technologies. This trust is at the heart of our culture and is valued by our colleagues. That is another reason why more than 550 colleagues are now working on modern software development at 13 locations across Germany.

Our Management Board – Rainer Vehns (co-founder and CEO), Verena Deller and Lars Rückemann – also embody this culture and are in constant dialog with our employees, always have an open ear, and are passionate about great ideas and outstanding technology.

The ENX Association supports the mutual recognition of information security audits in the automotive industry through TISAX on behalf of the VDA.
