History
GSM-Multimedia was founded on 24.06.94 in Dingolfing. At the beginning, we focused mainly on flight cases and record bags, but over the years our range has developed and now covers the entire spectrum in the DJ and club sector and increasingly also in producing/studio.
Since our foundation in 1994, we have been serving both end customers in the fields of DJ, club and gastronomy, shopfitting and TV/broadcasting as well as resellers and installation companies. After more than 20 years, we can now rely on a Europe-wide distribution network and count almost all well-known DJs and professional dealers among our customers.
