JPB Audiovisual

What JPB Audiovisual does

JPB Audiovisuel is a French technical audiovisual services provider founded in 1993 (legal entity SAS JPB Electro Acoustique, registered in Versailles) and headquartered in Plaisir west of Paris. The company delivers end-to-end audiovisual solutions across five business units — AV Management, Event Services, Corporate Services, Set Design, and Audiovisual Integration — covering sound, lighting, video, structure, scenography, and set design for physical, hybrid, and remote events. From a 12,000 m² integrated facility housing an in-house set and carpentry workshop, equipment stock, and logistics operations, JPB executes more than 1,000 operations per year, combining 50+ permanent staff with a network of 1,000+ intermittent freelance technicians to serve agencies, brands, institutions, and venue operators.

The business operates a hybrid professional-services and managed-services model: revenue is generated through project-based contracts for event execution and permanent audiovisual installation, alongside recurring managed services for the long-term technical operation of equipped venues (Jardin d'Acclimatation, La Serre, Le Dernier Etage, Terminal 7, FFT). Supporting capabilities include custom software and interactive technology development, creative production, and circular-manufacturing set design — the latter enabled by a partnership with Muto (since 2022) and certified under ISO 20121, Ecovadis, and Label Spectacle RSE. The client base spans more than 30 named enterprise logos across luxury, banking, media, retail, energy, consulting, and pharmaceutical verticals, with marquee engagements including the BFM Awards at Grand Palais and activations for LVMH, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, Barrière, Le Bon Marché, American Express, Deloitte, and Framatome.

Broad incumbents

• MCI Group: Global meetings, events and association management group with significant French operations — competes with JPB for corporate event technical contracts from large enterprises and institutions.
• GL events: Global integrated events group operating venue management, event services and AV production through its subsidiaries — a much larger incumbent whose scope subsumes JPB's offering across many of the same French enterprise clients.
• Encore (Encore Event Technologies): Global provider of event technology, AV production and venue services for hotels and corporate meetings — broad incumbent with managed services overlap to JPB's AV Management BU.

Direct peers

• Production Resource Group (PRG): Global provider of entertainment and event production technology (lighting, video, audio) — competing with JPB on larger enterprise and live event projects, particularly for multinational brand activations.
• CTE Audiovisuel: French audiovisual event services company providing sound, lighting, video and staging for corporate and institutional events — a closely comparable mid-sized peer to JPB in France.
• Videlio: French audiovisual technical services provider offering event production, integration and managed services across France — directly competing with JPB in the same Paris-region enterprise and event agency market.
• Novelty-Magnum-Dushow (GL events): Largest French audiovisual and event technical services group (subsidiary of GL events), combining Novelty, Magnum and Dushow — direct competitor with broader geographic reach and deeper resources than JPB.
• Vangold Events: French event technical services company providing sound, lighting, video and stage structures — directly comparable mid-sized peer operating in similar Parisian event market.

Emerging players

• Auditoire: Paris-based creative event agency that works closely with technical audiovisual providers including JPB — adjacent rather than direct, but competes for some enterprise event budgets on the creative/agency side.

Others

• Muto: French mission-driven company specializing in reuse of event decorations and temporary installations — strategic partner to JPB for circular set design rather than a direct competitor, but a thematic adjacent in the sustainable event value chain.
