Portrait

The two online stores digitec.ch and galaxus.ch together form Digitec Galaxus AG. The company was founded in 2001 by three friends with the mission of selling electronic components and consumer electronics at unbeatable prices. Today, digitec is the Swiss online market leader in IT, consumer electronics and telecommunications. In 2012, the founders launched Galaxus, Switzerland's largest online department store. The constantly growing product range extends from household items to toys and sports equipment. In the fall of 2018, the company expanded into Germany and operates the online platform galaxus.de from Hamburg and Krefeld. 

Today, the offices are located in Zurich's Kreis 5 district and the logistics center is 30 kilometers away in Wohlen, Aargau. The latter covers an area of 46,500 square meters. In spring 2019, the online retailer opened an additional warehouse location in nearby Dintikon for large products such as garden furniture, large screens and washing machines. digitec also has a physical presence in German-speaking and French-speaking Switzerland and serves its customers in eleven stores.

Why work at Digitec Galaxus AG

The world of e-commerce is constantly changing. What is today may be yesterday's news tomorrow. From a store for computer spare parts founded by three friends in 2001, we have grown to around 1,300 employees today. Fair prices, short delivery times and an indispensable customer focus are at the heart of our mission. Two of the founders still run the company. We have remained true to ourselves and have continued to refine our recipe for success: Our values are bursting with transparency, motivation and a healthy dose of cheekiness. We offer opportunities for co-design and personal responsibility. This in a large company with a start-up character, where individuality is very important and we stand together as a team. The focus is on close interaction and daily contact between employees and this is an integral part of the way we work together. We have retained this start-up character.
