From 1995, the company operated its own online shop at neckermann.de, through which almost 80 percent of sales were processed. The range consisted of over 700,000 articles from fashion, household, toy and technology segments. Since October 8, 2010, Neckermann is 100 percent owned by Sun Capital Partners.

On July 18, 2012, Neckermann.de GmbH and its subsidiary Neckermann Logistik GmbH filed for bankruptcy proceedings at the Amtsgericht Frankfurt am Main.
