Computer Centre Lorentschitsch

What Computer Centre Lorentschitsch does

Computer Centre Lorentschitsch (legal entity: Computer Center Lorentschitsch GmbH) is a family-owned Austrian IT services company headquartered in Salzburg Gnigl, founded in 1978 by Ing. Karl H. Lorentschitsch and now in second-generation ownership under Leona Lorentschitsch (BA, MBA) and Ing. Gerald Fürlinger. The company delivers an integrated portfolio spanning hardware sales (gaming PCs, CAD workstations, mobile devices, peripherals, printers, servers), managed IT services (Fernwartung remote maintenance, troubleshooting, upgrades, monitoring, IT check-ups, and customizable support packages), professional software resale and licensing (notably Mesonic and Etron ERP solutions), networking solutions (offered since 1978), and instant hardware repair through a Repair Café opened in 2023. Underlying technology is conventional — there is no proprietary software platform; the company is a value-added reseller and managed-services provider rather than a software vendor.

Revenue is generated through four streams: managed services (recurring and project-based), hardware sales (via showroom and web shop), one-time software licensing (with named Mesonic and Etron ERP implementations), and professional repair services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are handled via phone or email, and Repair Café appointments are required. GTM is sales-led and hybrid: direct in-store sales at the Salzburg showroom, field/on-site technical support across the Salzburg region, an e-commerce web shop (lorentschitsch.at), and the specialized schulshop.at platform targeting schools and teachers (launched 2003). Customer segments include B2B (construction, glass processing, research, digital services), B2C walk-in, and education — supported by long-tenured relationships of 10+ years, named testimonials from SWIETELSKY Tunnelbau, Glas Gasperlmair, Salzburg Research, KÜSSEL digital, and Jobaktuell, and an active newsletter cited by customers as a valued retention channel. Operations are confined to Austria (Salzburg region); the company is privately held with no institutional investors, no disclosed funding, and a 2021 sustainability program (35 kWp PV, three EV charging stations, fully electric 14-vehicle fleet).
