Questions and Answers
About the company
1. How long has publitec Präsentationssysteme & Eventservice GmbH been in business?
publitec has been an Europe-wide established distributor of professional visual technology since 2000. Proven quality from leading manufacturers at attractive prices – this is how we ensure your success and that of your customers!
2. What does publitec offer exactly?
As a large distributor with an extensive product range, we rent and sell professional visual technology. In addition, we are happy to take over the planning, setting up of equipment and personnel support for your events and permanent installations. Thanks to optimal purchase prices and the highest quality standards, we are able to come up with customised quotations for almost every project.
Also, in our Overview of Second-Hand Event Technology, you will find a large selection of second-hand visual technology at attractive prices. These products come from our own rental stock. They have been in use for less than a year, and thanks to regular maintenance and meticulous quality controls, they are as good as new despite a much lower price.
To find out more, please see our product portfolio, event technology for sale and event technology for rental.
3. Can I, as a private person, also buy or rent products from publitec?
Our range of services and products is exclusively aimed at tradespeople in the B2B sector. This also applies to our extensive range of second-hand products.
Further information can be found in our General Terms and Conditions.
4. What is the task of the quality control department?
Our quality control department checks and assures the quality of our products. By constantly optimising and refining our testing processes, we are able to ensure that our customers always receive top-quality products. The quality control department works closely with the sales team and the warehouse, and enables them to respond to your needs with consistent quality, even at short notice. This also includes important testing processes: We regularly carry out the required DGUV (German Social Accident Insurance) tests, clean up data memories and systems for data protection reasons and test all products for full functionality. In addition, we maintain the devices and install updates.
Compliance with these strict quality controls is an everyday matter of course, so you always get equipment that is as functional as on the first day.
5. What is the task of a project manager at publitec?
Our project managers are almost always available for you, wherever that might be.
We are happy to discuss the general conditions of your project with you in order to adapt the assignment in accordance with the budget and technology. If required, we can also act on your behalf or take over the responsible project management according to your specifications. Further information on the scope of services of our project managers can be found here.
6. Instead of a project manager, can I hire other ‘helping hands’ from publitec?
We are happy to provide staff who will support with the assembly/disassembly so that your event is set up on time and with professional help.
7. Does my customer actually see who I have rented from?
Our event technology is available in larger quantities and packaged robustly for each rental use. Neutral flight cases ensure a uniform appearance and offer appropriate transport protection. So we stay in the background and help without attracting attention.
8. Does publitec also offer apprenticeships?
publitec has been an apprenticing company for many years and has already successfully accompanied several trainees to their final examinations and subsequently taken them on as permanent employees. We train both in the commercial and in the technical area.
