Who we are.
Makalu is an association of two companies with common, privately-held ownership — MakaluMedia GmbH (Makalu Aerospace) and MakaluMedia Inc. (Makalu Interactive). Although focused on distinct markets, the companies often leverage their complimentary capabilities through joint collaborations.
The group employs about 45 people, working out of offices in Darmstadt, Germany (MakaluMedia GmbH) and Marbella, Spain (MakaluMedia Inc.).
What we do.
Although we are small, we’ve done some big things.
We designed, developed and operated the online game anchoring a major one-day cross-marketing event between Google and Virgin America.
We designed, developed and operated an online product allowing US consumers to opt-out of paper catalogs, attracting one million users in its first year.
We developed innovative ground-segment systems used in the tracking of satellites and the handling of telemetry for the European Space Agency and Eutelsat.
We are among a select group of companies participating in one of the world’s largest Drupal projects, funded by the US government.
We designed, developed and operate a suite of online products facilitating the operations and marketing of Germany’s largest event promoter.
We’ve provided engineering and scientific consultancy on a permanent basis to Europe’s principal aerospace agencies — for more than a decade.
