As of 15 January, ACONEXT has officially been recognised as Top Employer 2026. Since 2015, the independent certification awarded by the Top Employers Institute has consistently confirmed that we create working environments in which people can grow, take responsibility and actively shape the future. For us, however, this recognition represents far more than a prestigious label.
The certification is a reflection of our values and our mindset. Which is precisely why we choose to undergo an assessment every year. We firmly believe that excellent services in engineering, IT and tech, as well as consulting expertise begin with people.
For ACONEXT, the Top Employer certification is therefore not a destination, but a constantly evolving point of reference. It challenges us to continuously question existing structures, critically review our practices and drive improvement. The assessment supports us in further developing our HR strategy on a data-driven basis and provides us with honest, external feedback.
To sum it up: We do not pursue our Top Employers’ journey for the appeal of the seal, but our people.
Employer branding at ACONEXT is about values rather than appearances.
As a technology, IT and engineering partner, we develop solutions for the future of automotive, defense and aerospace. This is only possible with people who are empowered to develop professionally and personally.
Our understanding of employer branding is therefore clear:
- Transparency rather than promises
- Development rather than stagnation
- Trust rather than control
The recent Top Employer 2026 award confirms that we are pursuing this path consistently and in line with our values, and that we intend to continue doing so.
Thanks to our HR teams and all the people behind ACONEXT!
This achievement is the result of true teamwork. Our special thanks go to our HR teams in Stuttgart and Munich, who shape our people strategy with great dedication, expertise and passion, under the leadership of Aline Ohnmacht and Ulrike Förster.
We also extend our sincere thanks to all colleagues who work every day to further develop ACONEXT as an employer and a brand. Your collective commitment makes a tangible and measurable difference.
Looking ahead: Being a Top Employer is not a finishing line, but a starting point.
We view our continued Top Employer certification as a significant achievement and a strong validation of our quality as an employer, but never as a reason to stand still or to settle for the status quo.
Instead, the certification serves as both motivation and impetus to keep investing in:
- individual development pathways
- modern work models
- leadership based on mutual respect
- a corporate culture that combines diversity with responsibility
The world of work is changing, and at ACONEXT, we are committed to continuing to shape it proactively.
Conclusion:
For ACONEXT, being a Top Employer 2026 means:
- taking responsibility for people
- making quality in HR measurable
- ensuring that culture is never left to chance
That is exactly why we are proud of this recognition, today and in the future!
