Sound & Light Professional

What Sound & Light Professional does

Sound & Light Professional (SLP Group) is a privately held German full-service event technology and project services provider headquartered in Offenbach am Main with a secondary service office in Frankfurt. Founded in 1986 as SLP Event und Medientechnik, the company operates three divisions: SLP Event und Medientechnik (event and media technology rental for live events, corporate functions, and public gatherings), SLP Projekt Lighting (professional lighting planning and installation for offices, shops, restaurants, museums, and other commercial or residential environments), and SLP Projekt (trade show and exhibition booth concept, design, and realization). The company runs 11 employees across two physical offices in Offenbach (Schumannstr. 144 b and Gustav Adolf Straße 14) and a sales/service office in Frankfurt, serving the Rhine-Main region.

SLP Group monetizes through four project-based revenue streams: (1) event technology rental and production combining audio, video, lighting, and staging equipment with on-site technical personnel; (2) professional lighting design and installation billed as project engagements; (3) trade show and exhibition services priced per project; and (4) consulting, planning, and after-sales services including TÜV acceptance, maintenance documentation, and maintenance interval execution. All services are individually quoted per project based on scope, duration, and technical requirements, with no public pricing. The March 2021 cooperation agreement with ecobility (Wolfratshausen) extends the lighting division into adjacent green-technology areas including e-mobility, energy storage, solar, and energy management.

The go-to-market is sales-led, with customers typically initiating project inquiries via phone or email and being guided through consulting, planning, conception, realization, stand-by, and after-sales phases by dedicated project managers. Marketing relies on a multi-domain website structure (slp-group.net, led-frankfurt.de, slp-projekt.com) targeting organic search across the three service lines, supplemented by an active Facebook page. The company has no disclosed institutional investment, no M&A activity, no subsidiaries, and serves a regional rather than national market.

Direct peers

• Gahrens + Battermann GmbH: Established German event and media technology rental company with a comparable event-AV and trade fair booth service portfolio, competing for the same Rhine-Main and Frankfurt clients as SLP.
• Habegger AG: Swiss-headquartered full-service event technology provider with operations in Germany, offering AV, lighting and rigging rental for live events — comparable scope and DACH-region target market to SLP.
• satis&fy AG: German full-service event technology provider offering AV, lighting, rigging and stage rental with project management — directly comparable to SLP Event und Medientechnik's core offering, just at significantly larger scale.
• AMBION GmbH: German provider of event technology, lighting and sound solutions for live events and corporate productions — directly comparable service portfolio and German customer base to SLP's event media technology division.
• Neumann&Müller GmbH: German event technology and services firm covering audio, video, lighting and event production — directly comparable service mix and target customer base to SLP Group's event technology division.

Broad incumbents

• Production Resource Group (PRG): Global leader in event and entertainment technology with AV, lighting and rigging rental. Much larger and broader in geography, but overlaps directly with SLP's core event technology rental offering in Germany.
• MCI Group: Global events and association management company whose live-event division competes for corporate event technology and production budgets that SLP also serves in the DACH region.

Others

• Messe Frankfurt GmbH: Operator of Frankfurt's flagship trade fair venue and ecosystem — not a direct AV competitor, but a key ecosystem counterpart whose exhibition calendar drives demand for SLP Projekt's trade show booth and SLP Event und Medientechnik's event services.
