Linuxfabrik
About us
Linuxfabrik GmbH
We are a Swiss company founded in 2016 in the heart of Zurich. Our employees are highly specialized and help companies and organizations to implement and maintain Linux and Open Source based projects. Our experience is based on years of working in the automotive industry, telecommunications and medical informatics.
Our vision
We want to carry on our passion for Open Source and Linux
and build efficient and secure infrastructures and applications without
limits.
Our mission
We create and support IT solutions based on open source that are perfectly tailored to your needs. We transform technically demanding concepts into an easily usable form without losing sight of the end user’s perspective. In doing so, we never let our customers down – that is our motivation and our goal.
In order to meet our own demands, our team is highly trained, informed about current developments, certified and continuously educates itself. If we don’t know something, we invest in knowledge building. We work exclusively with open source software ourselves. We give developments back to the community. Our principles are:
Open source first.
Everything from a single source.
Security by design.
Our blog
In addition to tips & tricks on Linux and open source, we share experiences from our everyday Linux life and report on news from the Linuxfabrik at www.linuxfabrik.ch/en/blog.
