Rotkreuz/Cologne, 1 March 2023

mobilezone Deutschland is changing the trading name of powwow GmbH, to which the brands Sparhandy, Deinhandy, Handystar and High belong to mobilezone. This will underline its affiliation with the mobilezone Group and enhance the mobilezone brand in Germany.

The two strategic business segments mobilezone operates in Germany are for private customers with the brands Sparhandy, Deinhandy, Handystar and High while mobilezone handel is in charge of indirect B2B trade. The consolidation and concentration of the two business segments was concluded with the sale of the wholesale business in 2021. As a final step, the former powwow GmbH is changing its trading name to mobilezone GmbH in the spirit of the “one company idea". Wilke Stroman, CEO of mobilezone Deutschland commented, "By changing the name, we have created a uniform brand image for our two business segments in Germany and also made their affiliation with the company visible. Among other things, this will make it easier from our point of view to recruit employees with the new brand as part of the 'employer branding'".
