THE VISUNEXT GROUP
CELEXON GROUP BECOMES VISUNEXT GROUP
For more than 15 years, we have shaped the AV market as celexon Group. In April 2019, we want to lay the foundation for many more decades and better align ourselves with the name visunext Group.
With this realignment, there is a clear separation between B2C and B2B business within the group. End consumers will be served by companies bearing the name visunext from that date. All business for distributors and resellers of our brands celexon, DELUXX and ivolum are bundled in companies called celexon. These changes will not affect the affiliated companies Projektor AG and the real estate companies. Here you can see a clear overview of the changes:Old company name | New company name | Alignment | Date of change |

OUR HISTORY
From the startup to the corporate group!
The shareholders Matthias Hemesath (*1983) and Christoph Hertz (*1984) gained experience in e-commerce and the conception and implementation of online portals during their school years. Their first venture was the marketing of second hand projectors. At the beginning, the first company acted with individual leasing returns, later with large remaining stocks of well-known manufacturers. Today, it has become a group of companies with more than 100 employees in ten countries. The focus of the group is the marketing of media technology with solution competence and specialised trade values.2018/2019Renaming of the group to the visunext Group
The celexon Group, which has been growing for 15 years, is bracing itself for the future and renaming itself as a visunext Group. The product focus is extended from projection technology to visual products. In this move, group companies with end user focus are renamed to visunext. The parent company celexon GmbH & Co. KG renames itself and changes at the same time the company form. Thus, the new roof company visunext International GmbH & Co. KG is created. At the same time, the B2B business will be outsourced to the newly founded celexon Europe GmbH. Gradually, the projector shops are converted to visunext.2017Logistics space is more than doubled
With a further extension of more than 6,000 square metres, the group expands its logistic floor space to over 11,000 square metres2016Expansion to US and Hong Kong and expansion of specialist online shops
Set up of celexon US Inc, headquartered in New York, and celexon Hong Kong Ltd. The group will also soon be launching two new online shops: Edu.de and Heimkino.de to provide specialist AV solutions for the education sectors (schools, universities, nurseries) and the home cinema market with the professional end user in mind. Name change of Projektor Deutschlandvertriebs AG to Projektor AG.2015Expansion of Headquarters & Acquisition DELUXX
Acquisition of the quality brand DELUXX, which is known for high-quality home cinema and presentation screens and projector mounts. Through the purchase, the group strengthens its leading role in the projection and presentation segment in Germany. In addition, the group is expanding its headquarters in Emsdetten by 3000m2 with office and logistics space.2014Projector AG
Takeover of the Cologne-based AV specialist, Projektor AG, with their online shops Beamer-Discount.de and Projektor-AG.de. Following the asset deal completed in April 2014, the acquired company initially operates as Projektor Deutschlandvertriebs AG and later as Projektor AG.2013Change of name of the companies

The first permanent full-time employees were hired. The team moved to a rented office building with an attached warehouse.2004First brand / First online store
