'13 | 3NRG founding of trading business
From the idea to the realization. On February 15, 2013, 3NRG GmbH, which stands for energy and innovation, was founded. The first range of products for the direct sale of solid fuels and gardening products was available in a 1000 m² store.
The 3NRG team consists of 3 employees.
'14 | 3NRG starts online trading
In addition to the day-to-day business in the local store, the development of the individual merchandise management system begins. The first quality standards for products are set and the first shop "rohstoffversand.de" goes online. This also marks the start of intensive shipping of general cargo deliveries to the end consumer, free curbside, within Germany.
≡ Award for "Best Saxon Business Concept" (Lausitz Economic Initiative)
'15 | Conquering the online market
The range of solid fuels, horticultural products and seasonal items such as road salt or charcoal is listed on all leading online marketplaces.

'17 | 3NRG Quality Assurance

≡ STROY® the brand for horse bedding
≡ GALAMIO® the brand for horticultural products
≡ HEIZFUXX® the brand for solid fuels
Cross-product marketing begins in the company’s own corporate design.

'22 | Groundbreaking ceremony
In July of that year, the foundation stone was laid for a new company building with an adjacent transshipment hall. The old office and storage rooms as well as the pick-up market were no longer sufficient due to increasing customer demand, the growth of the company and therefore the number of employees.
3NRG will be Freudenberg's new sponsor partner with the PALIGO brand. From the new 2023 season, the motorsport team will be called Freudenberg KTM Paligo Racing.
3NRG is expanding its team to 28 employees by the end of the year.
