When we invested in commercetools before 2014, we were able to leverage their technological expertise on many projects. commercetools had time to grow while retaining the freedom to expand internationally. Today, REWE Group has successfully expanded its own digital unit and commercetools is on its way to becoming the global market leader as a commerce platform. A win-win situation for all.
