Game Changer. For 20 years.


For 20 years COMWORKS has already been in the market with innovative products, always with the clear claim to develop more powerful and superior products. Always keeping our finger on the pulse of time and thus releasing the right product at the right time as well as constantly reinventing ourselves - this describes our work. That is why our demanding clientele decides to trust in solutions from COMWORKS for many years.

Come with us on a short journey through time and gain insight into the COMWORKS company, from its beginnings to the present day.

  • 2002

  • The foundation

    2002

    The foundation of today's COMWORKS as a sole proprietorship by Josef Stuffer dates back to the year 2002, when the first online-capable infotainment units were offered, at that time exclusively in the premium automotive sector. The foundation took place in the parental home, a holiday apartment was converted into a "company building".

    2002

  • The first product

    Online capable infotainment system for cars with colored 7-inch touchscreen.

    • Former name: "ITS Car Multimedia System" Show picture
    • 3D navigation from the bird's eye view, at that time pure 2D navigation systems were still standard for a long time
    • Integrated e-mail client with text-to-speech
    • Data connection via GSM modem

  • 2003

  • The early years

    2003 - 2005

    The infotainment systems have been continuously further developed. A redesign in CAD was carried out. Instead of bought-in parts, the first circuit boards were developed in-house.

    • Development of the CPS2400 system Show picture
    • Numerous CPS2400 integrations in various vehicles
    • Online and partner sales of the CPS2400 systems

    2003 - 2005
  • 2006

  • The following years

    2006 - 2010

    Own premises were urgently needed, a suitable property was quickly found and the move was completed by 2007. A further infotainment system was added to the product range.

  • 2011

  • Change of company name and new move

    2011

    Due to the increase in the number of employees, new premises had to be moved into. Furthermore, the sole proprietorship was converted into a limited liability company. For strategic reasons, a property near the Rosenheim train station was sought in order to gain better access to new employees from both Munich and Salzburg.

    • Occupation of an object with 700 sqm, incl. own production hall
      Show picture
    • Free motorhome parking spaces for our customers

    2011

  • 2013

  • up and down

    2013

    The year 2013 was an eventful year in many respects. After intensive preparatory work, COMWORKS was able to secure a major order - the largest in the company's history. At the same time, the company experienced a crisis in the same year, which later became the basis for a complete reorientation.

    2013

  • winning a major contract

    After one year of intensive preparatory work, COMWORKS was able to secure a major order in the clear 2-digit million range. This order required the complete attention of our team. The entire team was then involved in this order. COMWORKS was commissioned to create an electronic operating concept, develop the hardware and then deliver it. Initially, a delivery period of 5 years was agreed.

    • Winning a major order in the clear 2-digit million range (cumulated over 5 years)
    • Fulfilment of all milestones required by the customer - to his complete satisfaction.
    • Implementation of training courses for the respective specialist departments of the manufacturer
    • Presentation of first functional prototypes

  • Expansion of our capacities

    In order to be able to cope with the project with the appropriate resources in the future, extensions were made.

    • Expansion of the company wing by a further 300 sqm to a total of 1000 sqm.
    • Expansion of the development team

  • 3D Wrap Arround System

    The development of a new type of 3D camera system has been launched. In contrast to conventional surround parking systems that work from a bird's eye view, the COMWORKS 3D Wrap Around System is a virtual environment that is calculated using 4x 190° cameras. The driver can select a virtual camera position at will. Due to the high degree of innovation, this project was funded by the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Energy.

    COMWORKS was a pioneer in this field and the first company in the world to develop and supply 3D parking system technology as an OEM and aftersales solution. At that time, normal parking distance systems with ultrasound and a normal "distance display" were still state of the art. Our solution was successfully sold to one of the best car manufacturers in the world and is used millions of times today.

  • Completion of the first CIS 2 prototype

    In the same year the first CIS 2 prototype was completed. This formed the basis for the development of the next infotainment platform to meet future requirements.

    • Start of optimization work on the CIS 2 prototype Show picture
    • Fully modular hardware design
    • Integrated 8-channel audio system demonstration
    • Embedded Sim and therefore online by default
    • Input for digital HD cameras, including power supply via a single cable

  • Loss of the major contract

    Surprisingly for us, the major order was suddenly cancelled shortly after the changes in the management board of our client's parent company. Legal clauses allowed our client to withdraw.

    The high sums required to maintain the location and personnel became a major challenge. A search for investors within a few weeks was not crowned with success, so that it became clear that a reorientation would be necessary.

    • Unexpected loss of the major order and thus:
    • loss of our main source of income
    • Show reaching the valley-of-death image
    • Despite a takeover bid for the company, we decided against a sale and for a new start under our own steam
    • Establishment of a task force for the forthcoming restructuring
  • 2014

  • Company reboot!

    2014

    COMWORKS used the opportunity to completely reposition itself in the course of a transferred restructuring. The development, production and administration departments were each distributed to their own locations. During the entire reorganisation, telephone numbers were switched and availability and support for our customers were guaranteed without interruption. Therefore, this process was transparent and without restrictions for our customers, suppliers and partners.
