Swiss Digitec Galaxus AG is gearing up for growth. In 2018, the online retailer established its German subsidiary, Galaxus Deutschland GmbH, marking its entry into the largest European market. Since its inception, the company has been offering a wide range of products to German consumers under the domain www.galaxus.de. Further expansion into additional European markets is on the horizon.

To facilitate this expansion, plentysystems AG is now providing all customers with a plugin for integrating galaxus.de.

Galaxus Launches German Country Platform

Digitec Galaxus AG ranks among the largest and most profitable companies in Swiss e-commerce. In 2022, the group's platform revenue across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland exceeded 2 billion Swiss francs. The online shop, specializing in information technology, consumer electronics, and telecommunications, operates seamlessly across markets, following the Swiss model. Digitec’s swiss-based online shop has been successful, and quickly became a market leader within just a few years.

Both the German and Swiss platforms offer informative and inspiring content, boasting engaged communities where members exchange ideas and support one another. In the company-owned magazine, the Galaxus editorial team reports independently, conducts critical tests, and provides open evaluations – even if products fail to convince, demonstrating the platform's commitment to transparency.

In addition to electronics, the Galaxus range of products now spans multiple categories. Office and stationery, household items, home decor, sports equipment, toys, DIY and gardening supplies, beauty and health products, and even items in the erotica category build a wide product line. With its extensive reach and strong distribution network, Galaxus serves as an ideal additional sales channel for many retailers.
