About Us
Zalando is a German e-commerce company founded in 2008 by co-founders Robert Gentz and David Schneider. Initially focused on selling shoes online, the company has since expanded its offerings to include clothing, accessories, and other fashion items.
The name "Zalando" is a combination of "Zapatos" (the Spanish word for shoes) and "Nando" (the nickname of founder David Schneider). The founders were looking for a name that reflected both the focus of their business and their personal style, while also having international appeal.
Thanks to its online sales model, Zalando quickly achieved success and became a major player in the European e-commerce fashion market. The company is known for its extensive product selection, excellent customer service, and a convenient shopping experience. Over time, Zalando has continuously expanded its reach and strengthened its competitiveness through technological innovation and strategic market initiatives.
Throughout its growth, Zalando has consistently maintained its commitment to sustainability and actively promoted social and environmental responsibility in its business operations. To drive the development of a sustainable fashion industry, the company has implemented various measures – such as promoting environmentally friendly packaging, supporting sustainable fashion brands, and optimizing supply chains to reduce its carbon footprint.
