Product News Published: 2 May 2008
XL Video, the world leading video rental company,
has established themselves in the Scandinavian market through
the 100% acquisition of AV-Teknik Event Engineering AB.
XL Video has already offices in Germany (Hamburg, Düsseldorf),
Belgium (Gent, Ostend), Great Britain (London, Birmingham) Holland
(Roosendaal), France (Paris), USA (Atlanta, Los Angeles, New
York) and China (Bejing). Through the acquisition of AV-Teknik,
the XL Group will also get a strong position in the Swedish,
Norwegian and Danish market.
AV-Teknik was founded in 1989 by Roberth Fredriksson
and has since then developed to be one of the leading AV suppliers
in Scandinavia within the Entertainment and Business Events.
AV-Teknik’s customers will through this acquisition have
access to the world widest and largest range of equipment within
LED, projectors, display systems and project management systems.
XL Video was founded in 1996 and has in a short
period of time established themselves as the international leading
company in areas like trade fairs, congresses, indoors- and
outdoors events, concert tours and TV productions.
“XL Video is the leading company in the
market today and will be a strong and competent owner of AV-Teknik.
They have shown to not only follow the trends in the market
but also in many cases have been the driving force in the development
alongside the manufacturers. All this will give AV-Teknik’s
customers access to technology and services which yet has not
existed in the Scandinavian market.
XL Video has a well-built reputation in both Entertainment and
Business Events so therefore I see a great potential in the
establishment of XL in Scandinavia” – says Roberth
Fredriksson, Managing Director of AV-Teknik.
“The purchase of AV-Teknik was the next
natural step for us in our development. AV-Teknik has a good
reputation internationally and is also well established in Sweden,
Norway and Denmark.” – says René De Keyzer
CEO of the XL Video Group.
