DE EN The Company KW-Commerce KW-Commerce is an international e-commerce company with headquarters in the start-up metropolis of Berlin. KW-Commerce houses successful proprietary brands like kwmobile, kalibri, and Navaris under one roof. As an e-commerce revolutionary, the company consciously decided to sell on online market places like Amazon and eBay: close to customers, fast, world-wide. Thus, the company sells more than 20,000 items in the areas of 'accessories for consumer electronics' and 'home & living'. We ship to more than 7,000,000 customers a year. The trend is increasing. In 2012, Jens Wasel and Max Kronberg founded KW-Commerce. With team spirit, assertiveness and discipline, they managed to turn the company into a top Amazon seller in a short period of time. They achieved this rapid development without outside financing and still continue to do so. The company now employs over 300 people worldwide. In 2015, the company was crowned the fastest-growing digital company in Germany by the online magazine Gründerszene. The annual growth rate of KW-Commerce continues to be in double digits.
