SOLUTION TECHNIQUE EVENEMENT

What SOLUTION TECHNIQUE EVENEMENT does

Solution Technique Evénement (STE) is a privately held French SAS founded in 2016 and headquartered in Caen, Normandy, providing rental and operation of professional audio, lighting, video, special effects, staging, rigging, and power distribution equipment for live events. The company serves a horizontal mix of corporate events (seminars, product launches, company anniversaries), entertainment and cultural events (festivals, galas, commemorations), and sports venue events, with a customer roster spanning large enterprises (BNP Paribas, Société Générale, Nestlé, Toyota, Peugeot, Canal+, SNCF, Pathé, Leclerc, LIDL), government (Caen La Mer, the D-Day 80th anniversary commemoration), sports (Stade Malherbe de Caen as official partner, ACSEL Caen Patinage), and recurring nonprofit engagements (Bal des Pompiers de Caen, nine consecutive years). Operations are anchored by a small core team of three identified professionals — Marius Robledo as Directeur général and founder, Adrien Sebire handling key accounts and accounting, and Damien Derivière leading technical programming — supported by a Caen-based equipment depot that doubles as a counter-rental pickup point.

The business model is equipment rental on a pay-as-you-go basis with individually listed unit prices, a 30% reservation deposit, and optional 30-day payment terms for qualified professional accounts. Service is delivered either via counter pickup at the Caen depot or via on-site delivery, setup, and technical operation across Normandy (and France more broadly for select projects). The company holds the French 'Label Spectacle Vivant' certification, which is a sector-specific quality credential for live performance technical providers and constitutes the primary regulatory differentiator. Equipment brands deployed include L-Acoustics, Audiofocus, ADJ, Absen, and Panasonic. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company is bootstrapped with €10,000 registered capital and no external funding, parent, or subsidiary structure.

Direct peers

• Dushow: French provider of audiovisual and stage technical solutions for events, conventions, and live shows. Directly competes with STE on integrated AV rental and event production services across France.
• Magnum: French event technical services company offering sound, lighting, video, and stage solutions. Directly comparable to STE in scope of services and customer profile (corporate, public, and entertainment events in France).
• Novelty Group: One of France's largest event production and AV rental companies, offering sound, lighting, video, and staging for corporate, sports, and live entertainment events. Closest large-scale direct competitor to STE in the French event technical services market.

Broad incumbents

• PRG (Production Resource Group): Global provider of event production solutions including lighting, audio, video, and rigging. Operates in France and competes for large-scale event contracts that STE also targets, but at much broader geographic and financial scale.
• GL Events: Major publicly listed French event services group with venue management, exhibition organization, and event production capabilities. Operates broadly across the same event services space but at much larger scale and with owned venues.
• Videlio: Leading French audiovisual integration and event services group with significant AV rental and event production operations. Overlaps with STE's core AV rental business but operates as part of a wider integration portfolio.
• Spie Event Solutions: Event and stage technical services division of listed French technical services group Spie. Directly competes with STE on stage, lighting, and event infrastructure, but benefits from Spie's broader industrial services platform.

Regional players

• Akro Event: French regional event technical services provider offering AV and staging solutions. Comparable in size and service scope to STE, operating in overlapping regional markets outside Normandy.
