What Galaxus stands for
created on 6/6/2023
Galaxus is more than an online shop. It’s also a consumer magazine with a lively, competent Community. The in-house editorial team isn’t influenced by anyone; they put products through their paces and write honest reviews. If a product doesn’t convince them, they say so – irrespective of any loss of sales. If a question still remains unanswered, the Galaxus Community usually provides answers within a few hours.
Digitec Galaxus AG was launched on the domain galaxus.be in May 2023. Galaxus.be is the Belgian shop of the Swiss e-commerce market leader Digitec Galaxus AG, headquartered in Zurich and with other locations in Switzerland and the EU. The Galaxus online shop offers customers quality products by top brands at consistently low prices. The range currently includes the categories IT + Multimedia, Office, Home + Kitchen, Interior, Sports, Toys, DIY + Garden, Health + Beauty and Love + Play.

Magazine
Galaxus doesn't do marketing blah-blah: the in-house editorial team is independent, tests products with a critical eye and is honest about the result, even if a product comes off badly.
Galaxus and the tortoise
The name Galaxus stands for our complete range and a whole new shopping experience – a department store universe that’s just a click away. So, it’s no coincidence that the tortoise is our logo. In many ancient cultures, the animal is said to carry the whole world and even the universe on its back. It’s also regarded as sturdy, reliable and clever. These are the characteristics Galaxus is striving for. We aim to bring together a compact and competent universe of products in one place and to allow customers to enjoy a shopping experience that’s efficient and tailored to their needs.
Values and history
Rigid hierarchies, restrictive department boundaries and paralysing bureaucracy – that’s everything we don’t stand for. We value teamwork, meet everyone at eye level and are obsessed with mastering challenges efficiently and effectively. Read more about our values here. You can find out about our exciting company history, which began in the year 2000 with three friends and their gaming PCs, here.
