momox

What began in 2004 as a simple experiment by founder Christian Wegner has blossomed into Europe's leading re-commerce powerhouse. The journey of momox started with a single book and a spark of an idea: to extend the life cycle of used products by reselling them online. With just 1500 euros in capital and a small 20-square-meter storage space, Wegner began selling on platforms like eBay and Amazon, laying the groundwork for a revolutionary business model. By 2006, this burgeoning idea formalized into the launch of momox.de, a dedicated platform for buying used books, CDs, and DVDs directly from individuals. The following year, the company opened its first online shop, medimops, to sell the items it had acquired, creating a complete circular ecosystem for media products. This innovative approach to second-hand goods resonated with consumers, fueling rapid growth and the need for expansion.

The company's trajectory soared. By 2011, momox was bursting at the seams, leading to the opening of a major logistics center in Leipzig to handle the ever-increasing volume of items. This physical expansion was matched by a strategic one; in 2014, momox ventured into the world of fashion, a category that would become one of its fastest-growing segments and eventually be rebranded as the successful 'momox fashion'. The mission to make second-hand a mainstream choice has driven momox to continually innovate, launching user-friendly apps and expanding its services across Germany, Austria, France, and Belgium. Today, momox SE stands as a testament to sustainable commerce, having given over 400 million items a new home and served more than 45 million customers. With a dedicated team of over 2,200 employees and a clear vision to save the planet one used product at a time, momox continues to lead the charge in making the circular economy accessible and appealing to everyone.
