What LiveTec GmbH does

LiveTec GmbH is a privately held German event technology services provider founded in the late 1990s and headquartered in Haar, Bavaria. The company delivers integrated event technology solutions—stage construction, lighting, audio, media/LED walls, trade fair booth construction, rigging, and special event builds—across Germany, Austria (via a Tyrolean subsidiary), and broader Europe. Its offerings combine physical staging, professional lighting systems (LED headlights, moving lights), audio solutions (loudspeaker arrays, mixing consoles, wireless transmission), and media technology (ROE Topaz 2.6 LED walls, media servers with UHD output, live streaming) into a single integrated service under one project management umbrella.

The customer base spans enterprise clients across multiple verticals including luxury goods (Swarovski), cosmetics (M·A·C Cosmetics), HR technology (Personio), recreational vehicles (HYMER), cloud telecommunications (NFON AG), fashion media (Vogue), publishing (Condé Nast Verlag), executive recruitment (Experteer), and hospitality (Bio-Hotel Stanglwirt). Notable long-running engagements include the Stanglwirt Weisswurstparty since 2011, Condé Nast's GLAMMY Awards from 2009 to 2019, NFON Partner Day from 2019 to 2022, and HYMER Caravan Salon appearances from 2022 to 2024. The company operates as a direct service provider, with customers requesting custom quotes via phone or website inquiry forms for project-based engagements.

The business is owned by its founding management team. The German entity is led by three authorized managing directors (Michael Burger, Johannes Rousselet, Kilian Westner) and the Austrian subsidiary (LiveTec GmbH Tirol, registered in Innsbruck) by Wilhelm Rüther. LiveTec generates revenue through professional services engagements—equipment rental, on-site setup, and operation of event technology—priced on a custom-quote basis. The company does not disclose financials, has no external funding or parent company, and operates with approximately 11–20 employees (firmographic count of 11, with the career page listing roughly 20 individuals including event technicians, apprentices, and office staff).

The company delivers on-site at customer venues across Munich, Tirol, and the rest of Europe, backed by specialist planning, project management, logistics, rigging, and set-design services.

Product overview

LiveTec GmbH is a full-service event technology provider offering a unified portfolio of integrated services rather than discrete software products.

These core services are supported by five enabling services: Specialist Planning, Project Management, Logistics, Rigging, and Set Design. The company also provides specialized technical services for specific event types including conferences, award ceremonies, trade fairs, product presentations, corporate events, and live entertainment. This is a service-based business model (not a software/SaaS product) where the 'products' are technical services delivered by experienced specialists using modern equipment for events of any size across Munich, Tirol, and Europe.
