NFON was founded in 2007 and is represented in 15 countries with subsidiaries and a partner network in Europe. The company is the only pan-European provider of cloud PBX. Due to the growing demand for digital communications within corporate structures and remote work, NFON offers services that reflect the general shift towards modern collaborative practices.

History

NFON was founded in 2007 by Marcus Otto, Mathias Edelmann and Fabian Hoppe. At the beginning of 2021, the company had more than 40,000 customers, over 500,000 extensions installed at customer' premises, and more than 2,700 partners. In 2019 and 2020, NFON posted revenue growth of 32% and has since become a partner for many companies enabling digital business communications through cloud telephony.

Two years after its founding, NFON launched its first cloud-based PBX. With Ncontactcenter and Neorecording, the product portfolio was expanded in 2016. In 2018, the cloud PBX Cloudya was introduced, which today is NFON's core product.

At the beginning of 2019, NFON acquired the company Deutsche Telefon Standard GmbH, and, at the end of 2019, Onwerk GmbH.
