AVI-Studio

What AVI-Studio does

AVI-Studio (legal name: AVI-Studio Audio-visuelle Informationssysteme GmbH) is a German, family-run provider of professional audio-visual integration and event technology services, founded in 1976 and headquartered in Hannover-Ahlem with a second branch in Seevetal established in 2023 via the takeover of Deichtec GmbH's location. The company operates with 37 employees under a flat hierarchy led by Managing Director and sole managing shareholder Christoph Klose, and has executed approximately 500 projects per year for roughly 1,500 customers over the past decade.

The company's offering spans four service lines: Medientechnik (fixed media technology installation for conference rooms, auditoriums, huddle spaces, and digital signage); Veranstaltungstechnik (event technology rental and on-site operation for conferences, congresses, shareholder meetings, and public viewing with mobile LED trailers); Beratung (manufacturer-neutral consulting for presentation and media technology); and Service (maintenance, troubleshooting, and recurring service contracts). Technology components include LED walls (notably a custom 21:9 installation using Infiled Full-HD panels and NovaPro UHD controllers), professional audio and PTZ camera systems, AV-over-IP signal transmission via Cat7 with encoders/decoders and Layer 3 switching, and integrated control/automation for unified room operation.

AVI-Studio serves corporate/enterprise (e.g., GLOBOS Logistik- und Informationssysteme GmbH), government/public sector (e.g., Stadt Norderstedt's Plenarsaal), event agencies, and educational institutions across Germany. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales via dedicated sales managers at both locations (e.g., Fabian Klußmann in Hannover, Thomas Schwabel in Hamburg/Seevetal). Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time project sales, usage-based equipment rental, recurring service contracts, and professional-services fees, with bespoke project-based pricing; private GmbH status means no public revenue disclosure. Brand credibility is supported by AVard 2024 Top 10 (Corporate Integration) and Top 5 (Public Integration) nominations and a 50-year operating history.

Direct peers

• Gahrens + Battermann GmbH & Co. KG: One of Germany's largest AV rental and media-technology service providers, headquartered in Leverkusen. Directly comparable to AVI-Studio as a full-service B2B AV integrator and event technology rental company serving corporate, public-sector and event-agency clients across Germany, only at significantly greater scale.
• Lang AG: German AV presentation and event technology company specializing in LED walls, projection, and rental for trade fairs, congresses and corporate events. Closely comparable to AVI-Studio's Veranstaltungstechnik business and its custom 21:9 LED wall installations.
• PRG (Production Resource Group): Global market leader in event production and AV rental with a strong German operation (formerly Satis&fy). Direct competitor in the B2B event-technology rental and production space that AVI-Studio serves, although at much larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Amptown System Company GmbH: Hamburg-headquartered AV system integrator and event technology provider. Direct peer of AVI-Studio in the Northern German AV integration market, with overlapping customer base in corporate, public-sector and event segments.
• MACOM GmbH: German AV/IT consultancy and integrator with strong media-technology practice. Comparable to AVI-Studio's Medientechnik and Beratung offerings for conference rooms, auditoriums and control rooms in corporate and public-sector environments.
• N&M GmbH (Netzwerk & Medien): German media-technology integrator focused on conference room, control room and event venue AV installations. Closely comparable to AVI-Studio's fixed-installation business with a similar mid-sized regional operating model.

Broad incumbents

• MCI Group: Global meetings, events and association management company that also produces hybrid events and AV content. Adjacent rather than direct: it competes at the event-agency layer above AVI-Studio's rental/production layer, but often procures or competes for the same event-technology scope.
• Crestron Electronics: US-headquartered manufacturer of AV control, signal management and UC room systems. Broader incumbent that supplies core equipment to AVI-Studio and increasingly offers its own integrator network and direct enterprise services, competing for the same installation scope.
• Extron Electronics: US-headquartered manufacturer of AV signal processing, switching and control products widely used by AVI-Studio in fixed installations. Larger industry incumbent whose technology stack underpins much of the corporate AV integration market.
• Bose Professional: Professional audio equipment manufacturer (speakers, amplifiers, conferencing systems) whose products are installed in AVI-Studio projects. Broader incumbent that competes at the equipment-plus-integration layer with corporate and event customers.
