Our take

The convenience of online shopping has brought most commercial industries to the web, and for a small business can make purchasing good tools at the right price much quicker and easier. Expondo specialises in high-quality and inexpensive tools for these small businesses, selling a collection of devices for the food, craft and health sectors.

Expondo, founded in 2007, began with sales from the founders’ garage via eBay, and shifted to its own platform in 2011. The company utilises continuous search algorithms which scan supply and demand data to find openings in the market, allowing the company to proactively stock niche and popular devices.

The company first began selling in the German and Austrian markets and expanded into Poland, France, the UK, and China in the first four years. It has reported impressive profitable growth since its inception and received its first external investments in 2021, which are set to facilitate further growth of the Expondo platform.
