LITEC Italy

What LITEC Italy does

LITEC Italy (legal entity: Area Four Industries Italia S.r.l.) designs and manufactures aluminium truss systems and self-standing structures for the entertainment and live events industry. Founded in 1994 in Casale sul Sile, Treviso, Italy, and now operating as part of the Area Four Industries group, the company offers a comprehensive product portfolio organized across ten catalogues, covering end-plated trusses (FX, TX, TH, QX, QH, RH series), fork trusses including the weld-free MyT line and the LIBERA flat beam range with spans up to 30 metres, conical S Series trusses, pre-rig trusses for integrated lighting management, towers, flyintowers, roof systems, the Backbone Frame LED wall support system with 0.15mm coupling tolerance, crowd barriers, clamps, Xcart utility dollies, and the Xstage stage deck platform.

The company's underlying technology centers on proprietary connection architectures: a die-cast aluminium End Plated system introduced in 1997 that became the company standard by 1999, a Fork Connection system using steel spring pins that allows combinations of incompatible aluminium alloys, the MyT completely weld-free bolted system, and the newer conical coupling system. Every welding process and product is annually certified by leading European regulatory bodies, with CE marking and reference to Eurocode EN 17879 for temporary outdoor structures.

LITEC operates a direct B2B sales model via website inquiry, email, and phone, supplemented by exclusive distribution through A.C. Entertainment Technologies for the S Series. Products are sold as standardized units and custom-engineered configurations to professional event production companies, rental firms, TV studios, touring productions, exhibition venues, museums, and sports arenas across Europe and internationally. Pricing is quote-based with no public price list. The company generates revenue through hardware sales (its primary model) and custom engineering services for large-scale installations.
