The aim to develop an own product line in the data system technology sector was decisive for the company foundation in 1978 by Günter Marx. What initially started in his cellar at home, evolved into a success story we are still proud of – thanks to his hard work, determination and ability. Today we work as a family company in second generation on 3000 m² and with more than 90 employees in our own premises.
During more than four decades we have been growing healthy and organically as a company. The virtues of those days are still important to us and the basis of our success. Nevertheless, we keep up with the times and consider ourselves as a modern company which can look confidently into the future. We maintain a social interaction with our employees and customers based on esteem and respect. Because we can only succeed by working together.

MADA moved into a new company location 4 years after the company’s foundation. A stable upward trend resulted thanks to smart solutions in the cheque card segment and data terminals. The company continued to build up solidely during the next years and took a great step closer to its aim: Develop, produce and distribute high-tech products. At some point, the space conditions with 16 employees became too tight there as well.

The new building with approximately 700m², divided into two floors was occupied in 2015 and offers not only room for the management, sales, marketing and development, but is also a clear commitment to Villingen-Schwenningen as a company location since almost 40 years now. Furthermore, the training system „MADA.college“ came into existence and became an important part of the future-oriented company strategy of MADA in the areas of consulting and project management. The vacant resources of the already existing building were used to increase the production capacity siginificantly – by almost 50 percent. At this point of time, MADA had 70 full-time employees.
