Where does the name come from?

Aleksej Grigorjevitsj Stachanov (1906-1977) was a Ukranian miner in Soviet times who is regarded as the communist hero of labour. He astounded management and party leaders alike with his work appetite and enormous productivity. The story goes that, though Stachanov started mining in 1935, he accomplished the incredible less than a year later: he surfaced a record quantity of 102 tons of coal within five hours and 45 minutes - fourteen times his quota. Today Stachanov stands for hardened, dedicated workers. The city of Stakhanov in the Ukraine is named in his honour.

1997

The beginning of the road

Stachanov was founded as a sole proprietorship in the late 1990s as a response to the rapid innovations in the financial sector.

1998

Partnership

The company became a partnership. The increasing demand for expertise in the field of IT and Finance, ensured a steady growth in the company’s first years.

2000

The collapse of the dot-com bubble

Many companies failed completely. Others lost a large portion of their market capitalization. Some however, recovered and surpassed their dot-com-bubble peaks. Stachanov has always been profitable since its foundation in 1997, and has stayed true to its creed of placing product quality at the top.

2005

Recognition for the quality

Stachanov holds, as one of the few companies in our field, three ISO-certificates; regarding quality (9001), sustainability (14001), and information security (27001).

2008

The financial crisis

As a company that is focused on IT and Finance, Stachanov has been through yet another major crisis. These volatile market developments hardly impacted the profitability and operational effectiveness of Stachanov, however, thanks to its long and trustworthy relationships with a broad client set.

Present
