aCon’s core competence is development of customer adapted self-service solutions for the postal sector including both hardware and software. aCon has developed a complete self-service postal office for PostDanmark, Posten Norge and TNT Holland among others. Furthermore, aCon develops other postal products for various postal services.
Company history
aCon was founded in 2003 by Allan Kaczmarek. The idea was to develop kiosk terminals for retail businesses. Production and development started in his father’s garage but within long the business was moved to better facilities at Danfoss A/S in Nordborg, Denmark. In 2004, the company bid on an assignment for PostDanmark. PostDanmark wanted a self-service solution by means of a self-service mini post office.
Less than two years later, aCon and PostDanmark initiated a pilot period starting on the 6th of September 2006 to the 1st of July 2007. The pilot was a great success for PostDanmark and especially for aCon. Subsequently, aCon has developed versions to other countries’ post offices.
Today, aCon employs a dedicated staff in Denmark and in Islamabad, Pakistan and a continuous growth is expected during the next years.
On June 28th 2007, aCon relocated from the 150 m2 area at Mads Clausen Entrepreneur Park at Danfoss to a 600 m2 facility in the centre of Sonderborg. The move was caused by a need for more space as well as benefiting from being closer to the university in Sonderborg and to other important partners and subcontractors.
