1978
In 1978, Wolfgang Grenke had an idea. Modern telephone systems, copiers and computers were finding their way into more and more offices. So he decided to make the associated investments easier by offering companies attractive rents. Having established his one-man business in Baden-Baden, he began a success story that shows no sign of slowing down. Even in the first year, Wolfgang Grenke and two employees oversaw 21 resellers and 198 rents. He saw massive potential in renting low-cost office equipment (small-ticket IT renting).
