Back Market

Back market is the leading online marketplace dedicated to refurbished products

Launched in 2014 by Thibaud Hug de Larauze, Quentin Le Brouster and Vianney Vaute, Back Market makes it easier for consumers to find and buy professionally-refurbished smartphones, tablets, televisions, as well as a wide range of personal technology products and appliances at up to 70% off their original prices. Through Back Market, professional refurbishing companies have a dedicated direct distribution channel that emphasizes their strengths and their reliability, rewarding them for keeping the quality of their products and customer service high. The company is actively fighting against the planned obsolescence of technology products and is helping to prevent hundreds of tons of electronic waste each year. Back Market will use its new capital to accelerate its international development and expand to new countries in 2018. Since its beginnings in France, Back Market has already opened in Germany, Spain, Italy and Belgium, which at present make up more than 30 percent of its business.
