About us
The Avemio Group is the leading system supplier in the German-speaking market for hardware and software in the areas of cinema technology, broadcast, professional audio and video solutions.
Twelve individual companies employ around 200 qualified employees at ten locations in Germany and Austria. They generate annual sales of approx. 100 million euros.
It succeeded in consolidating the German-speaking retail landscape in 30 years under its own steam. The IPO is intended to support the company’s international expansion and transformation into a media technology group.
Trading group for professional media technology
The Avemio Group is by far the largest supplier of professional film and television technology in the German-speaking B2B retail sector. Group sales have increased by an average of 23% p.a. over the past ten years to more than € 100 million – since 2017, it has been possible to unite all major competitors in Germany and Austria under one umbrella company.
The industry in Europe is national in scope, i.e. there is no multinational commercial retailer. With the IPO at the beginning of 2023, Avemio AG will grow internationally through a large number of existing targets. As part of a buy-and-build strategy, the aim is to consolidate the highly fragmented European retail landscape. At the same time, the Group is to be transformed into an IT/KI-driven media technology group.
Our history
From start-up to market leader
Avemio AG has been the listed parent company of the Teltec trading group since 2023. Teltec developed from a start-up founded in 1993 into the market leader in German-speaking countries.
As the first German manufacturer-independent dealer with all major manufacturers in its product range, Teltec is one of the most established trading companies in the world.
All major competitors in the industry in Germany and Austria were united under the Teltec® umbrella brand. The acquired dealers (Videocation, Video Data, BPM) will continue to operate with a focus on their respective target markets as part of a multi-brand strategy.
More than 35,000 customers come from the areas of broadcasting (public and private broadcasters), their content suppliers and service providers for large streaming services such as Netflix, Apple TV, Amazon, Disney Plus, … to social media, influencers, Youtubers, Twitch, e-learning and companies that now produce their own content (e.g. Schenker, Greenpeace, Lufthansa, Turtle Entertainment Gaming and many more).
In short, anyone who earns money directly or indirectly with moving images in Germany and Austria cannot currently avoid the market-leading technology group.
Our mission & vision
- Mission
- Vision
Advancing digitization will continue to change the moving image industry in the coming years. The emerging migration of technical equipment to the cloud plays a prominent role in this. The arrival of artificial intelligence in production workflows and the accompanying changes in value chains are driving change.
The mission (implementation of the vision) is based on three pillars:
- Organic growth through the expansion of the product range and market penetration in additional market segments.
- Implementation of continuous inorganic growth through further systematic continuation of the buy-and-build strategy.
- Development and distribution of cloud services and their IT implementation in existing workflows. This generates recurring revenue (ARR) with significantly higher margins.
The creation of a media technology group as a global player with strong trading expertise
The transformation from a dominant German retail group to a globally active media technology group is at the heart of the long-term strategy.
The vision of a company ensures its future viability. Meeting the future where it happens has always been the orientation of our strategic compass. Not a little successfully, as the development shows.
What makes us unique
The transformation from a national trading group to a globally active media technology group
follows a plan and is the consistent continuation of the previous success story.
- Proven M&A track record
- Internationalization
- Digitization
- Expertise
Since 2017, the highly fragmented German retail landscape, in which none of the protagonists had sufficient prospects for the future, has succeeded in consolidating under its own steam. This led to a sustained improvement in sales and profitability for the Group as a whole.
Our track record over the past few years shows that management has mastered M&A processes. Occasionally, takeovers have been accompanied by restructuring or turnaround efforts; this has also been successful.
We have driven and completed the consolidation in German-speaking retail since 2017 by acquiring all major German and Austrian competitors and integrating them into the Avemio Group.
The European market is similarly fragmented as the German market was - in the Eastern European countries it is much more fragmented than in the West. Our list includes more than a dozen takeover candidates, and personal talks have already been held with all of them. It can be assumed that there are considerably more than one hundred potential targets in Europe.
The position of European market leader in the industry is vacant because there are no internationally positioned trading companies in Europe to date. We see ourselves in pole position for the run of a European Champion.
The Avemio Group invested two million euros in an IT/AI incubator in 2022. The state of Hesse granted us an innovation subsidy of € 500.0 thousand for an AI project worth over € 1 million as part of the Ditr@l digital funding program.
Digitization leads to a democratization of video production means and to the emergence of new markets: The convergence of previously independent sub-markets in the moving image segment leads to a significant broadening of our market and is characterized by a strong dynamic (e.g. AV media technology, conference technology, medical technology, e-learning, streaming, gaming, projection, social media, industry 4.0, augmented reality, computer vision, metaverse).
We are already the leading provider of equipment and first-class digital service solutions that meet today's requirements for (semi-)professional video production and use.
We are therefore aiming to expand the Group's value chain to include digital and cloud services for the production, distribution, storage and consumption of videos.
Combined with the expertise of our companies, we take care of the development of the leading video technology in Europe.
- Proven M&A track record
- Internationalization
- Digitization
- Expertise
Teltec has a proven track record of mergers and acquisitions that lead to systematic growth and synergies.
- Consolidation leads to economies of scale and cost synergies
- Centralization of purchasing, logistics, IT and process automation leads to significant cost reductions
- Digital services can be distributed and used for a larger number of customers
We are building our future on three pillars.
Of these, the first two are quantitative and the last pillar is qualitative:
- Organic growth of Teltec's trading business
- Mergers and acquisitions to support the internationalization of business activities
- Expansion of the Group's value chain to include digital and cloud-based services for video production and distribution
Digitalization is leading to a democratization of video production tools and the emergence of new markets:
The convergence of previously independent sectors is leading to a strong dynamic: AV media technology, conference technology, medical technology, e-learning, streaming, gaming, projection, social media, Industry 4.0, augmented reality and computer vision.
And internally, we create synergies through centralized processes such as procurement, warehousing, logistics, marketing, accounting and increased process automation
We are already the leading provider of equipment and first-class digital service solutions that meet today's requirements for (semi-)professional video production and use.
We are therefore aiming to expand the Group's value chain to include digital and cloud services for the production, distribution, storage and consumption of videos.
Combined with the expertise of our companies, we take care of the development of the leading video technology in Europe.
