What funa international does

FUNA International, now operating under the Videlio Group as Videlio-FUNA (a division of Videlio-Cruise alongside Videlio-HMS), is a French audiovisual integration specialist that designs, deploys, and maintains AV systems across cruise ships, enterprise workplaces, media/broadcast environments, cultural venues, and live events. The company was founded in 1989, is headquartered in Gennevilliers, France, and employs approximately 1,000 people across a network of 18 French agencies and international offices in Italy, Germany, Finland, Switzerland, the USA, China, and French Guiana. Its technology portfolio spans digital workplace integration, smart control rooms, broadcast and post-production infrastructure, scenography systems, and tailor-made cruise ship solutions (lighting, public address, video surveillance, LED walls, content distribution, motorized hoists, elevator systems). The proprietary ShowPilot platform supervises AV estates across workspaces and ships.

Videlio generates revenue through three primary streams: professional integration services (consulting, custom design, integration, installation, training, and on-site staffing), hardware and equipment sales (lighting, LED video walls, digital signage, broadcast studios, control systems, and specialized cruise ship equipment), and recurring managed services and maintenance contracts. Pricing is quote-based and tailored per project, with multi-year enterprise contracts. Customers include 83% of CAC 40 companies (Bouygues Immobilier, Thales, CMA CGM, Enedis, Pernod Ricard), the European Commission, and major cruise operators such as MSC Cruises. Distribution is direct via a 25-agency field-sales network, supplemented by the GPA Alliance partnership for cross-border European deployments.

The company's strategic trajectory is shaped by a 2024 ownership transition (Hivest Capital Partners exited; Trévise Participations became majority shareholder) and a recent acquisition streak (Avantages Vidéo in Dec 2024, Team Office Italy in May 2025, Agelec in June 2025, Octalino in June 2025) that broadens vertical, geographic, and product-line reach. Videlio-Cruise (HMS + FUNA) is described as the world leader in cruise ship AV integration, supported by 35+ years of domain expertise and certified partnerships with Dolby, Telestream, Crestron, Microsoft, and others.
