Online department store Galaxus has just launched in Austria. The company with Swiss roots aims to join the five leading Austrian online retailers on the strength of its wide range of products at fair prices and focus on community and honesty.
Galaxus is expanding into neighbouring country Austria. Customers from Bregenz to Eisenstadt can now shop at Switzerland’s e-commerce market leader.
«All of Europe needs Galaxus,» says Florian Teuteberg, CEO and founding member of Digitec Galaxus. «Expanding to Austria is an obvious next step – not least because of the linguistic and cultural proximity,» he continues. Galaxus also sees lots of potential for online retail in Austria.
Controversy? No problem
Galaxus also provides its customers with filters to help them search for products with quality seals including «Fairtrade» or «FSC». «With the help of this filter option, customers can now shop even more consciously,» says Teuteberg. Digitec Galaxus is also committed to good working conditions, fair wages and protecting the environment.
Galaxus also shows the price development of their products over long stretches of time. «This makes the company the most honest online retailer in Germany, Austria and Switzerland,» Teuteberg concludes.
The goal? Joining the top 5
