AF Group

What AF Group does

AF Security GmbH (commercially styled "AF Group" / AF Security) is a privately held, founder-owned security services company headquartered in Neutraubling, Bavaria, Germany, operating nationwide since approximately 2010 with around 15 employees. The company provides integrated security solutions for construction sites, commercial and industrial sites, public facilities, and private property owners, combining technology-based surveillance with qualified security personnel services. Its portfolio spans six service lines: mobile remote monitoring (centered on the proprietary AF WatchBox® unit), stationary remote monitoring, security and service personnel (object protection, patrol, intervention, reception, opening/closing), security technology installation and maintenance, a 24/7 Notruf- und Serviceleitstelle (alarm and service control center), and electrical engineering delivered through an affiliated entity (af-est.de).

The core technology asset is the AF WatchBox® — a registered-trademark mobile video surveillance unit with high-performance cameras, infrared, integrated lighting, license plate recognition for gate control, and LTE/UMTS connectivity to the company's own control center. The unit is offered in wired and solar-powered variants, and the wider offering includes direct voice address of intruders from the control center and continuous 24/7 monitored alarm response. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 quality and DIN 77200-1:2017 security services certifications, supporting credibility with public-sector and enterprise customers.

Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring rental subscriptions for AF WatchBox® (monthly billing with daily terminability and no upfront customer investment), managed services for installed alarm/video/fire/access systems, subscription-based 24/7 alarm monitoring, and project/people-based professional services for guarding and patrols. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; go-to-market is sales-led via phone, email, website contact forms, and active social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook). The company appears bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, is managed by the Fetoshi family (Arben Fetoshi as Managing Director, Christina Fetoshi as Authorised Officer, with Julia Bassler heading administration and Arsim Fetoshi heading operations), and serves only the German market.
