HP Electronics

What HP Electronics does

HP Electronics, Inc. is a privately held, Maryland-based professional audio-visual integration company founded in 1983. The firm designs, installs, and services custom AV systems for end-client organizations rather than manufacturing its own products, operating as an authorized integrator across 28+ manufacturer brands including Crestron, QSC, Biamp, JBL, Shure, Renkus-Heinz, Danley, and Williams AV.

Core service lines are AV system design-build (custom specification of audio, video, control, and DSP subsystems), professional installation and commissioning (acoustic tuning in reverberant spaces, stadium/auditorium/cathedral deployments), and ongoing repair/maintenance under standing service agreements. Technology architecture leverages interoperable standards — Dante/AES67 audio over IP, Crestron NVX video over IP, Q-SYS control — stitched together by certified staff including Crestron Certified Programmers.

Revenue is generated through three streams: professional services (design-build project fees), recurring service and repair contracts, and equipment resale as an authorized dealer. Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales into five vertical segments — K-12 and higher education, houses of worship (primary), and government/institutional, healthcare, and corporate/commercial (secondary) — with operations concentrated in the Maryland/Mid-Atlantic region. The company is independently and privately held, with no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, or external investment.
