Around 1,900 employees generated sales of 613 million euros in the 69 specialist stores and online retail.

Until 2009, REWE Unterhaltungselektronik GmbH operated the ProMarkets nationwide, and only in a few places did the markets operate under the name Komet . In 2009 REWE Unterhaltungselektronik GmbH secured the naming rights for the entire stationary trade by taking over the ProMarkets of the Wegert Group . The Internet domain www.promarkt.de REWE Consumer Electronics GmbH in January 2010 by the Wegert group adopted.
