The EIDEX-History

In the mid-90s, the later company founders were looking for a gift for friends for their business administration exams. Inspired by a visit to Harvard, they came up with the idea of designing an embroidered University of Passau cap with the title “Master of Business”. No sooner said than done! After the exam party, suddenly everyone wanted such a cap. And so the cap was produced in the western village of Pullman City and sold in front of the refectory. After the law exam, friends who had meanwhile started working in marketing approached them with requests. Step by step, the assortment was expanded to include polo shirts, Leatherman tools, and so on. Today the assortment includes 300,000 articles and EIDEX represents all well-known brands in this area.

And how did the name EIDEX come about?

In 1999, in the Schwabing living room on a small billiard table and with an old laptop, the founders began to organize the distribution of advertising materials as a side job in addition to their legal clerkship. The company name had to be short, catchy, visually appealing and modern, and the logo had to feature a little animal – the implementation was to be quick and professional. ID.FIX” via “IDEX” finally became EIDEX with the figurative mark of a lizard.

EIDEX won its first full-service advertising customer in 2002 with Eurofighter. The milestone for the unique selling proposition among advertising agencies was set. The “all-round carefree package” quickly impressed other customers.

2022

Successful premiere of WerbeWelt

For the first time, the “WerbeWelt” trade fair for “sustainable advertising materials” was launched in the greater Munich area. The premiere took place on Wednesday, March 23, 2022. EIDEX, as organizer of the trade fair, together with four other supporting agencies, undertook and implemented many things. New accents were set in many respects and the trade fair was contemporary not only from the advertising appearance with a fresh, clear CI.

WerbeWelt, the trade fair for sustainable advertising materials.

The demand for sustainable advertising materials has currently increased sharply in all sectors and industries. Whether recycled materials, climate neutrality in production, short delivery routes and country of origin. At WerbeWelt, manufacturers and importers from the world of promotional products present current products and services with a focus on sustainable manufacturing, fair trade and regional production.
