The mind behind udoq

Everyday chaos
As in millions of other households, the smartphone has played a central role in the everyday life of the Kuchler family for decades. Phone numbers, appointments, boarding passes – and countless other pieces of information are essential to getting through the day. Payment systems, bookings and social media have further increased the importance of mobile devices.
The problem: cable clutter and missing chargers
In the Kuchler family home, all the mobile devices would gather around a single power outlet in the evening. His two sons – equipped with iPod and iPad – needed the same charging cables he used himself. Basket-like charging trays, with cables tangled underneath, brought no order. Cable ties and tape could not stop the boys from making chargers and power adapters disappear without a trace.
The moment of the idea
“How can a charging connector remain movable to charge different mobile devices, and still be permanently built into the docking station?”
The solution
After many attempts, the idea was born: create a thickened section on the charging plug that can slide back and forth in a rail, but cannot be removed. Hundreds of sketches, drafts and prototypes later, the current form of udoq emerged. As an industrial designer, Marcus was able to quickly translate form and function into an optimal shape – inspired by Bang & Olufsen and the principles of clean design.
From sketch to ecosystem
From cable clutter to vision
Marcus Kuchler invents the concept of the movable charging connector in an aluminum profile – movable, yet permanently integrated.
Founding of udoq GmbH
The company is founded in Munich. Utility models and patents are filed – in Germany, the USA, China, Japan and several other European countries.
Patent protection granted
The patent office grants protection for the idea of the movable charging connector in a profile. A simple idea that no one had implemented before.
Kickstarter & Indiegogo
Crowdfunding campaigns support the market launch. The first udoq charging stations are sold and delight early adopters around the world.
Cable box & wall mount
The ecosystem grows: a cable box for integrated chargers and a wall mount made of aluminum with parallel clamps – load-bearing up to 100 kg.
A complete charging ecosystem
From USB‑C to Lightning and MagSafe, Apple Watch and Apple Pencil – udoq covers all common standards. Even smartphones in explosion-proof cases find a secure place.
Our strengths
Modular system
Not a rigid product, but a flexible ecosystem. Replace, add or move adapters individually – the charging station grows with your devices.
Designed in Germany
Concept, engineering and development are based in Munich. Created by an industrial designer who thinks through form and function down to the last detail. Manufactured in China to our quality standards.
Built to last
95% aluminum surfaces, refined with anodizing. Individual parts are replaceable – this is not a disposable product. Aluminum is 100% recyclable.
Internationally patented
The movable charging connector in the profile is protected worldwide – in Germany, the USA, China, Japan and other countries. An idea nobody had before.
Patented perfection
Every udoq rail is extruded from solid aluminum and refined with an anodized finish. The slightly tilting adapters create the cylindrical shape on the front, while cables and electronic components disappear completely. All mobile devices are neatly arranged and fully operable in the foreground – they take center stage.
