Avitech International

What Avitech International does

Avitech International Corporation is a Redmond, Washington-based designer, developer, and manufacturer of professional audiovisual hardware, founded in 1995 and privately held. The company's product portfolio centers on multiviewers, KVM (Keyboard-Video-Mouse) switches, video wall processors, and signal extension/distribution solutions, with deployment across broadcast, defense command-and-control, IT infrastructure, and professional AV integration markets. Technical differentiation rests on a proprietary Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) design pioneered in 2003, modular hot-swappable hardware architecture, the proprietary "Surfer" mouse-cursor-based KVM switching feature, and an integrated ecosystem spanning SDI/CVBS, HDMI, USB, HDBaseT, and IP-based signal transport. The company holds two US patents (a 2013 KVM control system patent and a 2014 HDMI cable security device patent), and its products are documented as deployed across more than 35,000 units in private and public sector installations globally.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through one-time hardware product sales, with no documented recurring software or services component. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; transactions occur either through direct enterprise sales from the Redmond headquarters or via an extensive authorized dealer and distributor network spanning more than 40 countries across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, South-East Asia, Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan. Distribution is supplemented by specialty AV resellers, most notably Markertek (since November 2023). Customer acquisition is anchored on recurring participation in major industry trade shows including InfoComm, NAB, ISE, IBC, and ISC West. Marquee deployment validations include equipment selection at FIFA World Cup broadcasts (2006, 2010, 2014) and European Football Championships (2008, 2012), as well as the 2007 InfoComm Rental & Staging Best Video/Broadcast Product Award.

The company operates with a small headcount in the 11-50 range, has no disclosed subsidiaries, and exhibits a founder/operator ownership profile with no external funding rounds, no institutional investors, no parent company, and no recorded M&A activity. Strategic focus since 2022 has been on extending the 4K60 Sequoia platform, refreshing the modular Pacific MS KVM matrix line (culminating in Pacific MS-1 Plus at InfoComm 2025), and selectively expanding distribution through specialty AV channels.
