Electro World is an electronics online retailer founded in 2002 and operating in Sweden. It also operated in Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Greece and Turkey, as a subsidiary of Dixons Retail (formerly DSG International), until operations in those countries were sold off.
Electro World operated stores in some countries, and was online-only in others. It arrived in Sweden as an online brand, replacing the PC City website there.[1] PC City's physical stores in Sweden had already been closed down in 2009.[2]
In 2009, the Polish Electro World operation was sold by DSG International to Mix Electronics.[3]
In September 2013, Dixons Retail announced that they would sell the Electro World operations in Turkey to Bimeks, one of the leading specialist electrical retailers in the country.[4] Electro World in Turkey was subsequently integrated into Bimeks.[citation needed] Dixons Retail agreed in May 2014 to sell Electro World in the Czech Republic and Slovakia to Nay.[5]
The online Electro World operations in Greece have been merged with Dixons Retail's existing business Kotsovolos.[citation needed]
