What Avidec does
Avidec AG is a privately held, family-owned Swiss audio-video systems integrator headquartered in Dielsdorf, founded in 1997 by Jörg Steiger. The company delivers end-to-end AV and safety-communication solutions — from consultation and planning through installation, commissioning, and 24/7 maintenance — for enterprise and public-sector clients across Switzerland. Its product portfolio spans nine integrated categories: professional sound reinforcement (Beschallung), voice evacuation and lockdown systems (Sprachalarmierung/Evak/Amokschutz), media technology, conference technology, Digital Signage, large-format LED projection and video cubes, clock/time-synchronization systems (Mobatime), assistive hearing systems (inductive loops, IR, FM), and sports scoreboard systems.
The company operates exclusively through direct enterprise field sales, executing project-based tenders specified by architects or electrical engineers and leveraging SES-certified regulatory credentials (SAA, ENS), AVIXA/MMTS.ch trade memberships, and an ISO-aligned QMS. Notable deployments include the Stadion Letzigrund (395 speakers, 25,000–50,000 capacity), Europaallee Zürich (4,000+ speakers across two building complexes with intelligent priority control integrated to fire alarm systems), Roche Bau 1 Basel (2,250 speakers across 21 sectors), SBB Bahnhof Basel (first ENS in the historic protected station), the SWISS Arena Kloten LED video cube (2024), and multi-facility rollouts for Senevita senior care. The company employs approximately 25 people, runs a four-year Multimediaelektroniker EFZ apprenticeship programme, and is led by CEO Aline Steiger (since October 2021), with founder Jörg Steiger serving as Chairman.

Avidec competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- AVI-SPL: Largest US-headquartered AV integrator with global operations across enterprise, healthcare, education, and government. Comparable in offering breadth (design, integration, managed services) but operates at substantially greater scale than Avidec.
- Production Resource Group (PRG): Global provider of event technology, AV, and integrated experiences with a much larger footprint than Avidec. Overlaps in stadium/arena audio and LED video cube deployments (e.g., SWISS Arena, Corner Arena) but operates as a broad incumbent across the full event-technology stack.
- Bose Professional: Division of Bose producing professional loudspeakers, amplifiers, and DSP for installed sound in venues comparable to Avidec's stadiums and arenas. Adjacent incumbent that competes for the same end customers and increasingly offers integrator-direct channels.
- Crestron Electronics: Global manufacturer of AV control, automation, and collaboration systems used by Avidec (AMX/Crestron integrations). Represents both a partner and a potential threat as Crestron expands direct-to-customer service offerings.
- Extron Electronics: US manufacturer of AV signal processing, distribution, and control systems widely deployed alongside Avidec's projects. Comparable in target markets (corporate, education, government) but supplies the underlying technology rather than the integration service.
Direct peers
- Kilchenmann AG: Established Swiss AV/IT systems integrator providing media technology, conference systems, and digital signage. Directly comparable to Avidec in vertical (corporate, education, public sector) and in offering portfolio (Medientechnik, Konferenztechnik, Digital Signage).
- Habegger AG: Swiss event technology and AV systems provider covering sound, lighting, video, and rigging across venues. Closely comparable to Avidec in Swiss geographic focus and overlapping customer base in stadiums, corporate events, and public venues, though more weighted toward live-event production.
- Imhof Akustik AG: Swiss specialist in professional audio, acoustics, and AV integration for venues including churches, conference halls, and public buildings. Closely comparable to Avidec's Beschallung and heritage-venue offerings (beam-steering, hearing loops, acoustic-challenging environments).
- promedias AG: Swiss AV distributor and integrator listed as a partner on Avidec's Stadion Letzigrund modernization (Renkus-Heinz speakers). Operates in the same Swiss market across stadium sound, conference, and pro-AV channels, making it a directly comparable peer.
Regional players
- LANG AG: German AV and event technology rental company serving European stadiums, trade shows, and corporate events. Comparable in LED video wall and stadium display offerings (overlapping with Avidec's Grossbildprojektion and video cube business) but operates in a different national market.
