What Litex AG does

Litex AG is a St. Gallen-based full-service signage and advertising technology company founded in 1959, operating as a general contractor (Generalunternehmer) for indoor and outdoor signage, illuminated advertising, digital signage, and rebranding programs. The company serves enterprise clients across German-speaking Switzerland, Ticino, and select Austrian border regions, producing and installing illuminated lettering, light boxes, pylons, foil lettering, screen-printed industrial labels, and high-brightness LED screens (up to 8,000 cd/m²) for both indoor and outdoor applications. Notable technical capabilities include in-house 3D brand visualization and day/night simulation, a new state-of-the-art screen printing facility in Rheintal, and partnership with Samsung, LG, and 3M (Platinum Select Graphic Provider) for premium materials and display components.

The company generates revenue through project-based sales of signage and advertising technology (one-time project revenue, often with framework agreements and up to 50% deposits for projects over CHF 10,000), recurring service and maintenance contracts (annual cleaning, component replacement, and repair), and serial production under building program contracts priced against the Zurich construction cost index. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by key account managers, project coordinators, and a 6-step online quote configurator for inbound demand capture. Customer segments span large multi-site enterprises (Migros, die Mobiliar, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Hyundai, PureGym, Coop/JUMBO), industrial OEMs (Liebherr construction equipment), public institutions (ski resorts, municipalities), and hospitality chains (Pizzeria Ristorante Molino, Silvretta Montafon). The company is ISO 9001, IQNet, and IMPA-Delta certified and is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors.

Revenue model

1. Project-based signage and advertising technology sales: LITEX AG generates the majority of its revenue through project-based sales of signage, illuminated advertising, digital displays, and advertising technology products. Projects range from individual illuminated letters and light boxes to large-scale, multi-site rebranding programs executed across 100+ locations. Revenue is recognized upon delivery and/or installation, with deposit requirements (up to 50%) for projects over CHF 10,000.
2. Service, Maintenance, and Repair Contracts: Annual service packages covering cleaning, technical maintenance, component replacement, and repair of signage installations. Clients (e.g., Migros) engage LITEX on defined maintenance schedules to preserve optical and functional quality of building signage. Additional ad-hoc repair and damage response services are billed on a time-and-materials basis (Regie tariff).
3. Building Program (Serial Production) Revenue: For recurring identical products with consistent specifications (materials, dimensions, light sources) delivered across multiple sites, LITEX enters framework agreements with customers, maintaining dedicated inventory and delivering against call-off orders. Pricing is linked to the Zurich construction cost index.
