Our philosophy and values

Our philosophy and values

We consider trust to be the most important factor for a prosperous and effective cooperation. Gaining and maintaining it is our top priority. After mutual trust is established we can concentrate on the essential work that has to be done and deal effectively with every arising challenge.

In an era of innovative products, solutions, and services that are inherently dynamic or continuously changing even formerly well-established industries like automotive and avionics need to adapt. We try to foresee the upcoming changes in technology and strategically adapt beforehand.

We are committed to reaching our ultimate goals and provide high end solutions.

Talent is the key! We employ the best and train them to become experts.

History

The high customer satisfaction has driven a rapid growth to all sectors: more fields of expertise, larger team, more industries.

KENOTOM was officially founded in 2014 with a small team of 2 engineers and the first customer in the automotive sector. The first project was a Hardware in the Loop (HiL) test-automation of an Automotive Transmission Control Unit. Low level drivers (Basic Software) development, based in AUTOSAR architecture, was added in our portfolio in 2015. In 2016 we started dealing with modelling of physical systems for  Hardware in the Loop (HiL) simulations and soonin 2017 we overtook projects inthe field of Function Software Development of Safety Relevant automotive powertrain applications. Electronics design was also added at this time. The test automation activities expanded in the areas of unit tests, component tests and general MiL, SiL, HiL testautomation. In 2019 we our first projects in the aviation sector, designing and implementing the control and automation of testbenches for aircraft components.

The team keeps constantly, along with the challenges in the projects gaining significant expertise, exceeding in 2023 the number of 180 people, while the potential for future expansion remains high.

 

Our Strengths

Talent

Having become one of the most popular employers in the field of Embedded Systems in northern Greece, we have access to the best entry-level engineers of the area. We hire the best and train them to become experts.

Large experience in the industry

Our leading people have many years of experience in large European companies in the automotive, avionics and telecommunication sectors. We are familiar with the industry coding standards, processes and documentation, but also with the daily way of work and the way of communication. This enables us to adapt quickly to your specific needs.

Strong connections with universities

Our strong connection to the academic community enables us to constantly strengthen our team with highly talented people. We cooperate very closely through internship programs, diploma theses,  sponsorships to student teams, consultancy and common research projects. This gives us access to state of the art know how.

Management of high-stress situations

We have dealt with many project rescue situations, where  the schedules cannot be followed and the deadlines cannot be met. Technical expertise, hard teamwork, motivation and positive spirit despite the difficulties are the key factors to turn an imminent failure into success.

Cultural - Geographical proximity

Thessaloniki’s international airport “Macedonia” is only a 15-minute drive from our premises. With the many direct connection flights all around Europe we can arrange meetings for the next business day. The EU membership guarantees hassle-free travelling within Schengen area.

Cost effectiveness

High quality engineering in competitive cost compared to central and northern European countries

Working with us

Our customers are varied and come from different industries. In this way, the partnerships we maintain with them have given us exposure to many standards, technologies and tools. We actively support them from prototype to series production, from requirements up to system qualification tests. The use of the current collaboration tools guarantees excellent support and availability from our side along with flexibility if on-site support is necessary.

KENOTOM’s teams work either independently, having a single point of contact with the customer, or integrated completely to the customer's development team. In both cases transparent procedures and periodical reporting tailored to your organization’s processes minimize any risks.

Having significant experience in both agile and waterfall development (i.e., VModel, KanBan, Agile/Scrum, CMMI, RUP), we tailor the development processes to our customers’ requirements. Choose any cooperation model: Fixed price, time-based, or dedicated team and we would be glad to cover your needs. Our customers’ satisfaction is the key factor in our constant growth. So, if you are looking for a reliable partner, KENOTOM’s team is ready and motivated to create a positive and productive partnership with you.
