Securitas Event + Fair Solutions

What Securitas Event + Fair Solutions does

Securitas Event + Fair Solutions GmbH & Co. KG is a Hamburg-based service firm specializing in complex service management for events, trade fairs, and congresses. Founded around 1963 as a partner of Hamburg Messe, the company has been a 100% subsidiary of Securitas Gruppe since 2007 and operates under German limited partnership law. The company's offering spans four main service lines: Events & Kongress (full-service event and congress management including admission, security, and host/hostess services), Fairs (exhibition management with cloakroom, cash, registration, visitor guidance, logistics, and traffic services), Solutions (security technology including access control systems and video surveillance systems provided through conception, installation, and operation), and general Services (object protection, personal protection, traffic management, parking management, and security consulting).

The company's technology stack is centered on traditional physical security infrastructure — access control systems (Zutrittskontrollsysteme) and video surveillance systems (Videoüberwachungssysteme) — rather than software platforms, AI-driven analytics, or API-based products. It does not maintain public APIs, SDKs, or mobile applications, and operates with no disclosed AI or ML capabilities. The underlying operational model is personnel-intensive, deploying trained security, logistics, traffic, and cash management staff at client events.

Revenue is generated through individually negotiated service contracts with event organizers, fair operators, congress organizers (including Congress Center Hamburg), and venue managers, primarily in Hamburg and northern Germany. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is direct enterprise sales supported by a digital presence (website, Instagram, Facebook) and active recruitment marketing. The flagship customer relationship is a 60+ year partnership with Hamburg Messe, supplemented by engagements with sports venues (Hamburg-Towers), high-profile government events (G20 Summit), TV productions, and concert/gala organizers. Revenue figures, headcount, and financial performance are not publicly disclosed.

Others

• Congress Center Hamburg (CCH) in-house services: Major Hamburg congress venue that is itself a customer (handled by Esra Gül as Projektleitung CCH). Relevant as a key account and as a venue operator that could in-source security, representing a customer-concentration channel risk.

• I.S.T. Sicherheitstechnik: German security services firm offering event guarding, fair security, and security technology solutions. Smaller in scale but directly comparable in service mix and target customer profile.
• Klüh Sicherheit: Düsseldorf-based security division of Klüh Multiservices, providing event and fair security, object protection, and security technology nationally in Germany. Comparable in both personnel-based guarding and integrated security technology offerings for events.
• Piepenbrock Sicherheit: Osnabrück-headquartered German facility services group with a sizable security arm that includes event and trade-fair guarding. Competes for similar venue and event security contracts across German cities.
• Kötter Sicherheit: One of Germany's largest family-owned security service providers, offering event and fair security, guarding, and security technology across multiple German regions. Directly comparable as a full-line German competitor bidding for the same trade-fair and event contracts.
• Sitex Sicherheitsdienst: German guarding and event security provider active at trade-fair venues. Directly comparable as a regional/national event-security specialist competing for fair and congress contracts.
• Wisag Sicherheit & Service: German security and facility services group with dedicated event and venue security operations, including work at major German exhibition grounds. Closely comparable in service mix (guarding, access control, traffic, hostesses) and target customers.

Broad incumbents
