How it started
History
The first operations began in 1998 with the founding of the e-commerce website Cdiscount, a single website focused on offering CDs and DVDs.
Cdiscount then expanded its business to encompass product categories such as consumer electronics, computers, home appliances and wine.
In 2008, the companies Pontofrio.com and eHub were launched in Brazil, providing e-commerce services to third-party retailers.
The Brazilian expansion continued in 2010 by adding the Extra.com.br and CasasBahia.com.br websites to the portfolio, and the creation of business unit focused on business-to-business wholesale called Pontofrio Atacado. In 2011, Cdiscount implemented its first marketplace and launched ComptoirSante.com, an e-commerce website dedicated to beauty products.
During the year 2012, two new websites were launched in Brazil. An online marketplace was also created on the Extra.com.br website in Brazil.
