Elonex is a company which rents out advertising space on digital LED billboards in the UK.

History

[edit]

Elonex was founded in Finchley, London in 1986 by the German-born Israel Wetrin. The name was derived from the last two letters of Wetrin's two sons, Daniel and Gideon, and the first two letters of "export".[1] Today, the company is based in Birmingham.

Elonex was the official LED supplier to the Super League, the UK's top tier Rugby league competition.[2] The contract was mutually terminated in June 2012.

Elonex was the official shirt sponsor to Wimbledon F.C, from the 1994-95 season until the 1998-99 season.[3]
