The VPS Group Germany

What The VPS Group Germany does

The VPS Group Germany operates as VPSitex Deutschland GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the UK-headquartered VPS Group, which describes itself as Europe's leading temporary security specialist with over 30 years of operation and 100,000+ protected customer sites across seven European countries (Germany, UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain). The German entity is registered at Amtsgericht Charlottenburg-Berlin (HRB 99735) and is led at group level by CEO Lee Jon Newman.

The company sells an integrated, end-to-end temporary security portfolio organized into three pillars: Monitoring Technologies (Full Size CCTV Towers including SMART TOWER with WizSense AI, SENTRY, DIAMOND, DIAMOND THERMAL; Mobile Camera Systems including POD S1 and Smart Eyes Tower; Ajax-based Alarm Systems with Smart Hub+; Fire and Water Detection; Access Control), Mechanical Security (steel doors certified A2P BP1 by CNPP, steel window panels with a patented tensioning mechanism, mobile fences), and Security Services (alarm response/intervention, patrol, opening/closing, and 24/7 object guarding). All connected hardware routes through VPS's own CAT II SSAIB-accredited Remote Video Receiving Center (RVRC) and VSDS 3138-certified NSL, supported by a Denkmalschutzurkunde held since 2000 that authorizes installation on heritage-listed buildings. The RDTa, POD S1, and Smart Hub+ devices form a modular ecosystem where each unit connects to over 100 additional sensors and communicates in real time across a site.

VPS Germany runs a direct field-sales motion: customers contact regional sales staff, an on-site consultation measures the property, a customized quote is prepared, and installation typically occurs within 48 hours. Revenue is generated primarily through subscription-style equipment rentals (weekly, monthly in advance, or multi-year up to 5 years) with auto-renewing 14-day terms, plus recurring 24/7 alarm monitoring fees and separate per-incident alarm response charges. Primary customer segments are construction sites and vacant properties, with secondary verticals in government/public sector, housing associations, utility & infrastructure, and maritime. The German entity operates from Berlin headquarters and a Velbert (NRW) depot, with nationwide delivery via own service centers and a partner guarding network.
