FOUNDING MILKYCODE
milkycode was founded in Cologne on March 1, 2015. The first product to be launched was the Promotional Webshop. An e-commerce solution specifically for promotional products retailers.

LAUNCH OF PROMOTIONAL WEBSHOP
In January 2016, the Promotional Webshop was officially launched at the PSI promotional products trade fair in Düsseldorf. The interest and the rush were huge and we were able to successfully place the product on the market.

CONVERSION TO GMBH
In 2017, milkycode UG was transformed into milkycode GmbH due to increasing sales and projects.
2018
![MOVE TO NEW OFFICE](http://www.milkycode.com/uploads/2020/05/milkycode-markt-front.jpg)
MOVE TO NEW OFFICE
On 01.06.2018, we moved into our new, attractive office in a historic building directly on the market square in the center of Erftstadt, not far from Cologne, as our old office was too small for all our employees.
2021
![TIME FOR CHANGE](http://www.milkycode.com/uploads/2022/07/time-for-change.jpg)
TIME FOR CHANGE
As a result of the coronavirus crisis, we have realigned our core business and focused more on our own products and software solutions.
2023
![NEW PLACE FOR IDEAS](http://www.milkycode.com/uploads/2023/10/web-agentur-koeln-4.jpg)
NEW PLACE FOR IDEAS
In September 2023, we moved our office directly to Cologne. Cologne is simply the better and more prestigious location for agencies, so after much deliberation we decided to relocate.
