MALL GROUP:

Building a 21st century e‑commerce group

One of the examples of how Rockaway has blazed a trail in the digital economy is MALL GROUP, the biggest e‑commerce group in Central and Eastern Europe. It was established in 2016 by combining nearly ten vertical e‑shops from the then existing Rockaway portfolio and Netretail Holding, horizontal generalist e‑shops operating in seven countries. At that moment, an exceptional e‑commerce platform was created and eventually accelerating double digit year-on-year growth.

“In e‑commerce, it is no longer sufficient to rely solely on shopping. We were the first in the region to set out on a relatively complicated path: we want to create a whole platform of services and experiences around shopping”, says Jakub Havrlant, Chairman of the Board of MALL GROUP and founder of Rockaway.
