In the year of 1998 Mr. Hannes Auer founded the 3CON GmbH in Oberaudorf/Germany. The company produces innovative tooling and equipment technologies for manufacturing of automotive interiors, such as door panels, instrument panels, consoles and pillars. The first extension of 3CON GmbH was the construction of the plant in Ebbs/Austria in the year 2001. Originally it was planned as a production site; today it is the headquarter of the group. It includes the areas of project planning, design, manufacture, installation and commissioning. Furthermore, the departments for prototyping,research and development are also located in Ebbs. In 2012, the groundbreaking ceremony for a new milestone in the company history was made: The new central building with large offices and manufacturing area of more than 3.600 m² / 39.000 ft². Since 2013, it serves as the headquarter for the 3CON group. 2014 was marked by the internationalization of the 3CON Group. In spring, the 3CON Corporation opened its center of operations in Michigan/USA. This was followed by the establishment in Shanghai/ China. As part of the expansion, the company enlarged the sales department, project planning and designing at the new location in Laufen / Upper Bavaria. With this new subsidiary 3CON extended the technology thermoforming and edge folding. Also at the headquarter of the company the high level of customer encouragement led to an above-average growth of 3CON Group. To meet the market requirements, the groundbreak-ing ceremony for the second phase of construction has been set in 2014. The extension with an area of more than 2.800 m²/ 30.000 ft² was ready to use in spring 2015.
