- Endor AG develops and markets high-end input devices for sim racing and driving simulations, including force-feedback steering wheels, pedals, handbrakes, seats, controllers, and complete cockpits under the FANATEC brand; it also offers driving school simulators. The company, founded in 1997 and headquartered in Landshut, Germany, operates primarily through e-commerce and distribution partners, serving end customers in Germany, the rest of Europe, North America, Australia, and Japan. In 2024, Endor AG faced severe financial difficulties with over EUR 95 million in liabilities against annual sales of around EUR 100 million, leading to insolvency proceedings initiated in July under file number IN 542/24 at the Landshut Local Court, the dismissal of its founder-CEO Thomas Jackermeier, and a failed restructuring under the German StaRUG law. Subsequently in September 2024, CORSAIR Gaming acquired Endor AG's business operations via an asset deal, including the FANATEC product line, foreign subsidiaries, and all active employment contracts, while Endor AG underwent full liquidation, termination of its stock market listing (ticker: ENDRF), and sale of its real estate, with no payments to shareholders. As of late 2025, the company's website reflects ongoing insolvency administration by RA Dr. Hubert Ampferl of Dr. Beck & Partner GbR.
