Professional Event Solutions GmbH

What Professional Event Solutions GmbH does

Professional Event Solutions GmbH (PES) is a German event technology services firm formed in 2008 through the merger of two East Westphalia-based predecessors, Partytime-Bünde and Rolling-Sound, each with more than 25 years of independent history. The company delivers integrated event production across seven core service lines: audio (Tontechnik), lighting (Lichttechnik), media/video (Medientechnik), stage and truss systems (Bühnen- und Traversensysteme), broadcast/transmission (Ü-Technik), rigging and logistics, and full-service event conception. Notable technical components include RCF TTL-33A line-array audio, SGM Idea 300 LED fixtures and SGM LED walls, Sanyo PLC 15000 projectors, Prolyte truss systems, LED trucks with 6x5m display surfaces, and certified rigging for outdoor events. PES serves festivals, concerts, corporate events, trade shows, gala events, product presentations, and open-air stages.

The business earns revenue across three models: usage-based equipment rental (stage, audio, lighting, video, rigging rented by the day with 50-1,000 EUR deposits), professional services for full event production (concept, execution, personnel, partner coordination), and managed installation services for permanent event infrastructure. Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven: enterprise clients are managed directly by two Geschäftsführer (David Kuhlmann and Carsten Müller, the latter a certified Meister für Veranstaltungstechnik) supported by a small core team of technicians, logistics staff, and apprentices. Channels include a portfolio website, Facebook presence, news/press updates, and Prolight & Sound trade show participation. Named reference customers include the Ehrlich Brothers (long-term touring partner since 2013), Porsche Zentrum Osnabrück, Ritter Sport, and MVA Bielefeld-Herford, with service delivery spanning Germany and neighboring European countries.
