About us
Company building
History
GSM-Multimedia was founded on 24.06.94 in Dingolfing. In the beginning our main focus was on flightcases and record bags, but over the years our product range has developed further and now covers the complete range in the DJ and club sector and increasingly also in the direction of production/studio.
Since our foundation in 1994 we have been serving end customers from the DJ, club and gastronomy, shop fitting and TV/broadcast sectors as well as resellers and installation companies. Thus, after more than 20 years, we can now also rely on a Europe-wide distribution network and count almost all well-known DJs and also all professional dealers among our customers.
