Our company history
We have been inspiring people for more than 40 years
A strong commitment to customer service on the part of Kurt-Werner Gahrens and Jürgen Battermann led to the founding of their joint venture in 1983.
With a small staff, the company began operations in 1984 by selling and renting audio and video equipment, thereby laying the foundation for a corporate history marked by dedication and passion for the events industry and its clients.
Since then, GAHRENS + BATTERMANN has established itself in the market as an innovative full-service event provider. Teams of experienced event professionals at eight locations across Germany plan and execute approximately 6,000 events each year. With our range of hardware and software, we are now a leader in all event formats.
From a good feeling to clear guidance
We practise sustainability and keep you informed in a transparent manner.
Mobility, energy, material use: As an event technology service provider, we leave an environmental footprint—and we’re committed to addressing it. With clear goals, transparent data, and a roadmap that shows where we stand and where we’re headed.


“We are proud to look back on more than 40 successful years and are grateful for the long-standing support of our customers and partners.
We look forward to continuing to offer first-class, innovative technical solutions for all types and formats of events and to inspiring people together with our customers.”
Dr. Norbert Gahrens, who manages the business together with Carsten Zwerg.
