What Imos does

imos Gesellschaft für Internet-Marketing und Online-Services mbH is a German internet service provider and software development company headquartered in Göppingen, Baden-Württemberg. Founded in 1996 by Alfred and Rolf Wallender, the company operates four integrated lines of business: digital connectivity (fiber, Ethernet, dark fiber, copper, and wireless internet access branded imos.net®LWL/ETH/DF/ADSL/SHDSL/VDSL/WLL with up to 100 Gbit/s symmetric bandwidth), hosting and housing (managed hosting and server colocation in the EVF-Datacenter certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and DIN EN 50600), custom web applications (process digitization, RMA systems, product configurators, intranets built on Laravel/Statamic/FilamentPHP), and website development (as an official Statamic partner). The company owns 243 km of regional fiber infrastructure and operates a 405 m² data center with 99.97% availability, redundantly connected at 100 Gbit/s.

The company employs 27 people and serves a horizontal mix of mid-market and enterprise customers across healthcare (Greiner Bio-One), energy (Energieversorgung Filstal as strategic partner), technical inspection (GTÜ), electronics (ACD Elektronik), automotive (Kolektor Insulation), e-mobility (Team Emobility), IT services (Cinteg AG), and healthcare staffing (Grosch-Hebammen-Service). Revenue derives from a blend of professional services (custom software projects, quote-based by scope), managed services (hosting and housing on monthly subscription contracts from €9 to €699/month), and recurring connectivity subscriptions with multi-year terms. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with dedicated sales leadership, an agency partner channel for technical execution outsourcing, and self-service hosting purchases through the website.

The business is operated as a traditional German Mittelstand GmbH, founder/family-owned with no external PE/VC capital, no disclosed revenue, and no acquisitions or divestitures documented. The company holds a Bundesnetzagentur telecommunications registration (DREG-Nr. 97/238), is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, and is a member of the Allianz für Cyber-Sicherheit. Geographic scope remains concentrated in Baden-Württemberg and broader Germany.

Broad incumbents

• PlusServer GmbH: German managed hosting and colocation provider with ISO-certified data centers in Germany and the Netherlands. Direct overlap with imos' hosting and housing products with comparable DIN EN 50600 / ISO 27001 certifications but substantially larger scale.
• Hetzner Online GmbH: Largest independent German hosting and colocation provider operating multiple data centers across Germany and Finland. Overlaps with imos on managed hosting, dedicated servers, and colocation but operates at vastly larger scale and a much broader geographic footprint.
• IONOS SE (1&1 IONOS): Major German web hosting and cloud services provider offering shared hosting, dedicated servers, and managed services globally. Compares to imos as a broad hosting provider but at enterprise scale and with international reach.
• Deutsche Telekom AG: Germany's incumbent telecommunications operator with nationwide fiber, broadband, and enterprise IT services including T-Systems' hosting. Largest gravitational competitor for any German regional ISP including imos.
• Vodafone GmbH: Major German mobile and fixed-line operator with cable and fiber broadband and enterprise services. Comparable to imos at the connectivity layer, with vastly broader product, capital, and customer scale.

Direct peers

• Neofonie GmbH: Berlin-based digital agency combining custom web development, CMS (WordPress, eZ Publish), and AI/data services for German enterprise clients. Comparable to imos' custom web application practice in scope, customer segment, and bespoke delivery model.
• M-net Telekommunikations GmbH: Regional German fiber ISP headquartered in Munich, offering broadband, business connectivity, and hosted IT services to mid-market and enterprise customers in Bavaria. Mirrors imos' regional fiber-plus-business-IT-services model with comparable scope of fiber footprint and B2B focus.
• NetCologne Gesellschaft für Telekommunikation mbH: Cologne-based regional fiber operator with telephony, internet, and data-center/colocation services for business customers. Closest comparable to imos given regional fiber ownership, business-focused product set, and colocation presence.
• DKD Internet Service GmbH: Frankfurt-based full-service internet agency delivering web design, custom web applications, hosting, and connectivity under one roof. Closely comparable to imos on the digital-agency side given overlapping CMS, hosting, and connectivity offerings for German SMEs.

Regional players

• EWE TEL GmbH: Regional German telecom operator focused on northern Germany (Lower Saxony, Brandenburg, Bremen) with fiber, business telephony, and IT services. Similar regional fiber-plus-business-services positioning to imos but in a different geography without product overlap in the Göppingen market.
