DriveCon stands for a lot more than 20 years of competence in the field of electrical engineering
The foundation stone for the successful development of DriveCon GmbH was laid on 16 March 2001: Graduate engineer Ralf Weisenseel (Dipl.-Ing./Managing Director) founded the company together with the two partners Graduate engineer Günter Kimmelmann (Dipl.-Ing. (FH)) and Wolfram Koßner. On 1 April 2001, operation started for real and DriveCon commenced business.
Michael Weisenseel (Dipl.-Ing. (FH)) has been working at DriveCon since 2008 and Andreas Weisenseel (Dipl.-Ing. (FH)) since 2013. In 2016, two partners joined the management team to add new life to it. In mid-2018, Günter Kimmelmann transferred his shares in the company to the two partners. On 1 January 2019, Michael and Andreas Weisenseel were appointed joint managing directors and formed a well-oiled "management trio" with Ralf Weisenseel.
After more than 19 successful years, Ralf Weisenseel stepped down as Managing Director on December 31, 2020. The company will now be managed by Andreas and Michael Weisenseel, will remain family-owned and can continue to write its success story: Within 20 years, the company has developed from a small 3-man operation into a firmly established engineering office for electrotechnical systems with over 30 employees.
The strategic partnership between DriveCon GmbH and Ingenieurbüro Zink GmbH (IBZ) marks the start of an exciting new chapter in our company history from January 2025. This collaboration not only combines the many years of experience of both companies, but also focuses on innovation and future-oriented solutions. As a subsidiary of DriveCon GmbH, IBZ will benefit from our expertise and infrastructure while we expand our portfolio and network. Together, we pursue the goal of offering our customers customized, efficient and sustainable solutions - always with a focus on quality and reliability. By combining our synergies and teams, DriveCon GmbH has grown to over 40 employees.
