Blackbit digital Commerce GmbH

Creativity, agility and information technology When Daniel Gerlach, Remo and Stefano Viani founded Blackbit in 1989, they had no idea that the age of digitization was beginning. The move of the personal computer into prepress enables the three founders to quickly make a name for themselves with desktop publishing in northern Germany. In times when graphical user interfaces are revolutionary, network specialists are rare and the Internet has not yet been invented, the Blackbit founders have no choice but to acquire the necessary specialist and IT know-how themselves. The founding times shape the company: Creativity, agility, a passion for technology and an understanding of digital exploitation potential form the Blackbit DNA to this day. The digital revolution is eating your kids With the release of the World Wide Web in 1993, the founders quickly realized that the distribution and consumption of information would change fundamentally. The company must adapt to the new circumstances in order not to be left behind by the competition. A new "Internet" division was founded and a web content management system was developed in 1996 for the Schleicher & Schüll company, which today belongs to General Electric. Blackbit gave up prepress in 2003. After 14 years, Blackbit has reinvented itself .
