Buying Better Together
Our history
Widoo was born from the initiative of two managers, Antonio Falchi, ex-CEO of Eurofoil, and Gabriel Catania, founder of GC Partner.
Based on their experiences, they note that VSEs - SMEs - ETIs are at a disadvantage in their purchases compared to large groups.
They then decided to create the first collaborative purchasing group made up of about fifty independent companies wishing to pool their non-strategic purchases.
In view of its success, decided to offer this innovative concept to all independent SMEs.

The Start-up !
July 2020: Creation of the start-up with three people and at the initiative of two Luxembourg company managers who noticed that local SMEs were at a disadvantage in their purchases compared to large international groups.
