Why Codronic Is Your Reliable Partner
Your Development and Manufacturing Partner for Defense Technology from Augsburg
Technological Expertise and Development Depth
Codronic combines interdisciplinary expertise in mechanics, electronics, and software — precisely the combination required for developing mechatronic systems in the defense industry. We do not simply deliver components; we provide complete system solutions focused on integration, functionality, and robustness.
Safety and Standards Compliance
Our development processes are designed for safety-critical applications. We operate in compliance with relevant defense-industry standards such as MIL-STD and ISO 9001, ensuring traceable and auditable project documentation. Confidentiality is not a promise for us — it is a fundamental requirement.
System Thinking and Interface Understanding
We take a holistic approach, from system architecture and component integration to communication interfaces. Our solutions integrate seamlessly into existing platforms and system architectures used by defense primes and system houses — without friction or loss of efficiency.
Partnership at Eye Level
Codronic does not see itself as a supplier but as a technical development partner. We contribute advisory and solution-oriented expertise, speak the same language as your engineering teams, and work efficiently within your development cycles.
Technical Documentation in the Background
In addition to development, we provide all necessary documentation for approval, operation, and maintenance — in the level of detail required by authorities and military clients. At the same time, we ensure that documentation remains efficient and never distracts from what truly matters — the technology itself.
As a technical development partner with a deep understanding of mechatronic systems, safety-critical requirements, and the processes of German defense primes, Codronic is ideally positioned to meet the demanding challenges of the defense-technology industry — reliably, standards-compliant, innovative, and on equal footing with its partners.
