What Clair Global does

Clair Global is a private, Lititz, Pennsylvania-headquartered live production services and systems integration firm operating under three divisions: an Events Division that rents audio, video, lighting, rigging, communications, and backline equipment plus technical crews for touring productions, festivals, corporate events, and broadcasts; an Integration Division that designs and installs permanent AVL systems in performance venues, sports facilities, houses of worship, corporate headquarters, and themed/immersive spaces; and a Product Division that manufactures proprietary Cohesion loudspeakers (CO12, CP218) plus the Clair CM-14.

The business is monetized through project-based equipment rental, recurring touring service contracts, fixed-price integration engagements, hardware sales (new via manufacturer partnerships and used via the clairusedgear.com e-commerce channel), and ongoing remote technical support. Underlying technology spans large-format line-array PA systems (L-Acoustics K1/K2, Adamson VG, d&b audiotechnik), DiGiCo digital mixing consoles, Riedel Bolero intercoms, Wisycom RF/IEM systems, and custom engineering such as the ceiling-hung Cohesion PA design deployed for the Bad Bunny residency.

Distribution runs through a network of 20+ wholly-owned subsidiary brands (Britannia Row Productions, LD Systems, Sound Image, ATK Audiotek, Clearwing, Eighth Day Sound, JPJ Audio, TDA Clair, Purple Group, Stagelight, Rigging Box, and others) that provide regional points of presence across the USA, UK, Netherlands, Australia, and Puerto Rico. Customers are largely enterprise-scale music tours and venues (Linkin Park, Oasis, Benson Boone, Blink-182, Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey, Black Sabbath finale, BRIT Awards, Levi's Stadium, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa, John Summit). The company has been compounding its footprint through acquisitions (Wichie Sound Performance in June 2025, ILIOS Productions in January 2026, Clearwing prior) and greenfield office openings (Las Vegas February 2026, expanded Nashville campus 2025, new Lititz HQ 2025).
