Hartmann, Mathias and Partners

What Hartmann, Mathias and Partners does

Hartmann, Mathias und Partner (operating as hmpartner) is a German partnership founded in 1999 and headquartered in Düsseldorf, providing independent, manufacturer-neutral audiovisual (AV) communication technology consulting and specialist planning services. The firm serves enterprise, education, public administration, and culture/sports clients across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), with named engagements at Deutsche Börse, Continental AG, EY, Zeiss, Boehringer Ingelheim, Aareal Bank, multiple universities, and German courts and municipal buildings. Its core offering covers strategic consulting, needs analysis, specialist planning (Fachplanung), tender preparation for integration work, quality assurance and acceptance, and operational concepts plus lifecycle management, spanning audio reinforcement, video/projection, room acoustics, lighting, control systems, event technology, AV-over-IP networking, and security integration.

The firm operates a professional-services model through direct enterprise and public-sector engagement, with no intermediaries or resellers. Its technological differentiation derives from cross-disciplinary expertise (engineering, media technology, acoustics, control systems, business administration) rather than proprietary products, supported by active membership in industry associations including DTHG, AVIXA, EVVC, BHE, VDI, and DEGA. Revenue is generated through tailored project fees rather than disclosed standard pricing, and the firm is privately held by its three founding partners (Detlef Hartmann, Stefan Mathias, Thomas Euring) with no external investors, subsidiaries, or funding rounds disclosed. The firm has accumulated nine international industry award recognitions between 2013 and 2022, including Inavation Awards, a Sinus Award, and Consultant of the Year honors, establishing reputational capital in the European AV planning market.
