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.

With a further extension of more than 6,000 square metres, the group expands its logistic floor space to over 11,000 square metres

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.

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.

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.

Founding of celexon Holding GmbH and celexon International Holding GmbH and renaming celexon GmbH & Co. KG into celexon Germany GmbH & Co. KG. The foreign companies are grouped under the umbrella of celexon International Holding GmbH.

Proyector24.es launched in Spain and Videoprojektor24.pl in Poland. The portals are each operated by local companies.

Another company was founded, which serves customers in Sweden via Projektorshop24.se

In France and England we start two companies represented with Videoprojecteur24.fr and Projectorshop24.co.uk.

The strong growth made a move inevitable. A new warehouse and office building was built on Gutenbergstraße 2 in Emsdetten with a total floor space of 2,400 m². At the same time the first sister company starts in the Netherlands.

The first permanent full-time employees were hired. The team moved to a rented office building with an attached warehouse.

The online store Beamershop24.de, forerunner of visunext.de started. At the same time, the celexon brand was created for the production of screens and presentation accessories.

Immediately after graduation, Matthias Hemesath and Christoph Hertz founded their first company to pursue their business idea. Today, this company operates as visunext International GmbH & Co. KG and forms the parent company for various sister and subsidiary companies.
