About us

We have been discussing for a long time what we want to tell our visitors and customers about NFC21. Instead of phrases like "you can buy quality from us" or "competent advice in all matters", we would like to go into the motivation and history of the company here - i.e. why and how we approach the topic of NFC and resolutely pursue and consistently expand our objectives.

Why do we exist?

At the beginning of 2012, there were hardly any realistic possibilities to purchase NFC items online: this was either only possible in very large quantities at disproportionately high costs or from abroad with correspondingly long delivery times. In addition, there was little or no public information that allowed developers and end users to easily get started with the topic. A circumstance we wanted to change. So we - Werner Gaulke, Tarek Moussa and Marco Simonis - founded NFC21 GmbH at the end of 2012. Our complementary majors in computer science, business administration and marketing shaped the facets of the company's orientation from the very beginning.

From start-up to company

Over the years, we expanded in a targeted and balanced manner with the addition of new employees to form a colourful team. In this way, we always made sure to keep the areas of NFC products, development for third parties and our own solutions in balance. The business areas shown on this website also illustrate how the solutions overlap and inspire each other.

What sets us apart

We do not see ourselves as mere online sellers of NFC products or software developers, but as "pioneers" around NFC technology. We know how consulting-intensive this technology is and are happy to answer a wide variety of enquiries - whether technical, conceptual or informative. A testimony to our consulting and service quality is the fact that our customers grow with us and that projects are understood as the beginning of a common path from the very beginning.

Sustainability: our claim

We are convinced that as a company you have to lead the way and commit to all dimensions of sustainability. We are aware that there are limits to our influence and impact and that not all measures can be implemented immediately. With our full conviction of being able to make a positive difference, we want to work on our goals step by step, using our technical expertise.
