Our Journey: From Founding to Today

Since its founding in 2010, ondeso has been guided and built by co-founders Rolf-Dieter Metka and Martin Stemplinger with a clear visionary focus. The headquarters of ondeso have been located in Regensburg (Bavaria) since the beginning. In 2012, ondeso was awarded 1st place as “IKT-Gründung des Jahres” (ICT Start-Up of the Year) by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Technology (BMWi).

In early 2019, the management team was strengthened with Peter Lukesch, who supported the company in its further development. In August 2019, ondeso opened another office in Dormagen (North Rhine-Westphalia) to expand its presence on the German market.

As part of a strategic development, ondeso has been a member of the Everfield Group since November 2024. Everfield is an experienced long-term investor and partner for European B2B software companies. In this transition, the previous CEO, Rolf-Dieter Metka, passed his role to Peter Lukesch, while CTO Martin Stemplinger continues to lead the technical operations as before.

2025 marked ondeso’s 15th year in business. In the anniversary interview the former management team shares insights into past achievements and future goals.

Since October 2026, Michael Schmidt took over as CEO of ondeso. Together with the existing team, he continues to lead ondeso’s development.
