Consat Design: Joining creativity with technology for real-world impact

With Consat's ongoing growth, a creative branch has emerged – Consat Design. This strategic initiative complements Consat’s technical strengths, offering a holistic approach to design and innovation. The goal is to take any idea from the initial concept to the final product, focusing on purpose-driven solutions that address real-world challenges.

Surrounded by the ever-growing advancement of technology, Consat Design stands out by returning to the foundation that underpins everything: good design. Their approach is grounded in simplicity – removing clutter and complexity from the design process to deliver products and experiences that are meaningful, efficient, and sustainable. The core lies in good design, but it’s not just about aesthetics – rather about crafting products with purpose, letting technology handle the complexity in the background while providing essential value to users. What people get is a memorable experience; products and services with a soul that they love to use.

As Consat Design, along with the newly formed Consat Advisory, becomes a subsidiary of Consat Engineering, a powerful ecosystem takes shape, each bringing unique strengths to the table. Consat Engineering creates dynamic conditions for industrial technology, embedded systems, and digital solutions; Consat Advisory ensures a clear business rationale and solid strategy behind the technical implementations; and Consat Design brings a holistic and creative approach that combines innovation with practicality, ensuring solutions that are user-centric. The collaboration results in products and services that are easy to use, efficient, and sustainable – ultimately, creating a smarter future.
