Due to his full-time studies, the improvised shop was only open on Friday afternoon and Saturday, however, quickly became an insider tip.<\/p>\n<p>After graduating in mechanical engineering in 1994, Dominik took the chance which resulted from a liberalisation in the telecommunications market in Germany to position his company <span class=\"hiddenSpellError\">Brodos<\/span> in the dynamically growing mobile communications market as a supraregionally operating provider of mobile communications solutions right away.<\/p>\n<p>In order to have Brodos stand out from other typical suppliers of mobile phones, he focused on providing self-made software solutions and innovative services right from the beginning. The fast-growing services <span class=\"hiddenSpellError\">brodos-SMS<\/span> and <span class=\"hiddenSpellError\">brodos<\/span> <span class=\"hiddenSpellError\">Cash-Up<\/span> evolved into a comprehensive portfolio of services for business clients and specialised retailers, which later on evolved into the concept of the \u201cConnected Store\u201d in <span class=\"hiddenGrammarError\">2015<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The widespread acceptance and the rapid spread of mobile phones resulted in constant and dynamic growth of <span class=\"hiddenSpellError\">Brodos<\/span>. Nevertheless, our company always remained focussed on its main business on mobile phones as well as on us being a mobile specialist. Due to the increasing requirements of business clients and specialised retailers for services, <span class=\"hiddenSpellError\">Brodos<\/span> has evolved from a distributor to <span class=\"hiddenGrammarError\">a leading full-service<\/span> service provider in the German mobile communications market.<br \/>As of today, <span class=\"hiddenSpellError\">Brodos<\/span> (based in Baiersdorf, Middle Franconia) with around 450 employees, a turnover of around 710 million euros as well as around two million sold mobile phones &#8211; all in the financial year 2021\/2022 &#8211; is one of the biggest players in the mobile communications market in Germany.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The history of Brodos AG It all started with the dream of having cordless telephones.
