Electro World is an electronics online retailer founded in 2002 and operating in Sweden. It also operated in Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Greece and Turkey, as a subsidiary of Currys plc (formerly DSG International, then Dixons Carphone), until operations in those countries were sold off.
Electro World operated stores in some countries, and was online-only in others. It arrived in Sweden as an online brand, replacing the PC City website there.[1] PC City's physical stores in Sweden had already been closed down in 2009.[2]
In 2009, the Polish Electro World operation was sold by DSG International to Mix Electronics.[3]
In 2011 Electro World Hungary, failed to escape bankruptcy protection, the Pest County Court initiated liquidation proceedings against the company.[4][5]
