As Europe’s largest manufacturer of professional audiovisual solutions, Lightware Visual Engineering proudly emphasised its status as a European-based technology company to clients and colleagues at its recent seminars. With all product design and manufacturing carried out at its headquarters in Budapest, Hungary, the message was clear: Lightware is well-positioned to face the current global challenges with confidence and ensure its customers continue to benefit from an efficient service and cutting-edge technology.
Although manufacturing is centralised in Budapest, Lightware operates across a total of 18 offices worldwide, supporting customers in the EMEA, APAC and Americas regions. This combination of European production and local presence ensures both regional responsiveness and consistent product availability, helping the brand to stand apart in an era of supply chain delays.
By keeping the entire production process in-house and within Europe, Lightware highlights its ability to commit to faster delivery times through centralised European logistics and guarantee stable pricing, unaffected by unpredictable import duties or overseas shipping costs.
At its Budapest HQ in Hungary, Lightware exercises full autonomy over quality and product development, with R&D and manufacturing unified under one roof. Their location enables the company to combine advanced technology with the precision and adaptability of European engineering. This strategic setup benefits European customers through logistical and regulatory efficiency. Another key takeaway from their recent seminars was Lightware’s environmentally conscious operations, with reduced transportation resulting in a smaller carbon footprint – an important selling point that can empower AV professionals to achieve project-based sustainability goals.
“As a company deeply rooted in Europe, we believe that proximity to our customers, control over our processes and the expertise of our engineering teams provide a clear advantage in today’s AV market,” said Gergely Vida, CEO of Lightware. “Amidst the uncertainty of supply chain and tariff concerns, Lightware’s manufacturing location, global presence and production methods ensure our customers will continue to benefit from the innovation and service we are known for.”
Lightware remains committed to delivering industry-leading technologies that are designed, developed and manufactured in Europe.
