10 Years of KOM4TEC.
Build different.
Ten years ago...
KOM4TEC began with the conviction that “
” things differently.
Back then, Marco and Stephan worked together at Basler Fashion. There, they were responsible for global IT. They developed the ERP system, the modern workplace, and a shared understanding of how collaboration should truly work. What united them was the idea of becoming the kind of partner they themselves had often wished for as customers: a trusted advisor. Someone who doesn’t just sell solutions, but listens, thinks along with the client, and truly understands their challenges. What began back then as a bold idea shared by two like-minded individuals became the starting point for the KOM4TEC we know today.
Part of the crew from the very beginning.
In addition to Stephan and Marco, Michael Damnitz, Bernhard Straub, Felicitas Manger, and Annemarie Breier have also been part of the crew since day one. They, too, met while working together at Basler. Shortly thereafter, other key figures such as Thomas Heßler and Maximilian Sauer joined the team, playing a decisive role in shaping KOM4TEC’s development over many years. Among the most important companions from the early years are Henry Taubald and Christian Bathon. Both were consistently there to offer honest advice, valuable experience, and an impressive willingness to help. The fact that so many people from back then are still part of this story today says it all. Trust, solidarity, and genuine collaboration were never just values listed on a website at KOM4TEC—they were part of our DNA from the very beginning.
That's exactly what we wanted to celebrate—not as a traditional anniversary, but as a release.
Build v.10
It was clear from the very beginning: We didn’t want traditional anniversary branding for our milestone.
For ten years, we’ve been developing ideas, building projects, navigating change, and constantly pushing the boundaries. So why should our own story look any different from the things we create every day? That’s how “10 Years of KOM4TEC” naturally became v.10—the next version of a story that’s far from over. We’ve always gone our own way, thought differently, and built differently. Build different.
Branding
This idea gave rise to a complete event branding concept. It naturally included large, visible elements such as banners, menus, and crowd barriers, as well as many small details that you only notice at second glance. Anyone who looked closely suddenly spotted familiar faces from the crew on Nirvana or Pink Floyd records. Little nods to the past ten years were hidden everywhere.
Interactive elements like the photo booth and the guest wall also became part of the concept. As the evening unfolded, memories and new stories were created that found their place right in Version 10. And anyone familiar with KOM4TEC knows: A special event also calls for special T-shirts.
Build v.10 for Wear
For the first time, the T-shirts weren’t handed out at the event itself, but were sent directly to our guests’ homes days in advance as a surprise package. This little surprise built anticipation for the event. As the venue slowly filled up that evening, the scene unfolded exactly as we’d hoped: familiar faces everywhere, KOM4TEC T-shirts everywhere, and that special feeling of being part of something together.
An evening full of highlights.
With the support of Quang and the team at Lá Didadi, we made the Dalberg shine for an evening. Accompanied by the superb wines of Florentine Anna Baier from WEINGUT VON WINNING, excellent coffee from Jonas Braun and Vincent Martin of Kaffee Braun, and the outstanding live catering by Jan Burian and his team from WHY NOT DELI, we created exactly the atmosphere we had hoped for. Frank Keller provided the perfect live soundtrack and managed to set just the right mood at the Dalberg. Oliver Henke left everyone in awe, and when DJ Quang took over, the event finally turned into a full-blown party.
Special thanks also go to Björn Straub, who captured the evening’s atmosphere from a guest’s perspective in wonderful photos and kindly shared them with us!
Thank you!
What began ten years ago as an idea has become what it is today thanks to many people. Thanks to our crew, who bring passion, energy, and a great deal of heart to their work every day. Thanks to customers and partners who have placed their trust in us over the years. And thanks to our companions along the way, who have supported us, inspired us, and sometimes even provided that crucial piece of advice at just the right moment. build v.10 itself was also the result of many minds and hands—from the initial ideas and the event concept all the way to the countless details that shaped the evening. Special thanks go to the team at Quantum vis GmbH and our crew’s event team, who worked with us to bring the vision of build v.10 to life. We’d also like to thank our long-standing partners, WEINGUT VON WINNING and Kaffee Braun, who enriched the evening with their passion and quality. And of course, Quang from Lá Didadi Bar & Café and Jan Burian from WHY NOT DELI. The event demonstrated once again what KOM4TEC is really all about: people who enjoy working together.
