AVMS at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2025 - Technology meets literature

Jennifer & Laura – the good souls of technology

Customer inquiries? Special requests? Spontaneous changes? No problem for Jennifer and Laura. With an open ear and a cool head, they made sure that equipment and service were in the right place at the right time. Whether it was a microphone for the reading or a monitor for the panel discussion – they had everything under control. And if something was missing, they organized it before anyone could say “book fair”.

Alex – the planner with the technology compass

Anyone who thinks that technology is simply set up has not yet met Alex. With his precise eye for processes, requirements and schedules, he planned the majority of the projects – from the first cable to the last truss. His motto: “When it’s running, nobody notices how much work is behind it.” And it worked. Smoothly. Almost suspiciously well.

Brondt – the coordinator with an overview

Eleven stages, dozens of technicians, hundreds of devices – and one man who keeps track of everything: Brondt. He coordinated the use of technicians during set-up and ensured that each stage was manned by the right team at the right time. A bit like a conductor, only with a radio instead of a baton.

Steven – the warehouse brain with empties genius

When the last applause has died away, the real show begins for Steven: the dismantling. With stoic calm and logistical mastery, he directed technicians and helpers across the huge exhibition grounds. Equipment was collected from around 90 trade fair stands – and thanks to Steven’s pre-sorting during packing, the return to the warehouse went faster than a bestseller over the counter.

Logistics with literary volume

By the evening of the dismantling, six 7.5-ton trucks, two 3.5-ton trucks and a 12-ton truck with trailer were already rolling back to Sulzbach. The loads? A poem of trusses, loudspeakers, LED spotlights and cables. And because AVMS is not only fast, but also thorough, two more 7.5-ton trucks and another 12-ton trailer were loaded and unloaded on the following days.

Technology meets timing

What AVMS achieves at the book fair is not only technical precision, but also organizational master class. The combination of planning, communication and experience ensures that even the most complex projects run like a well-written screenplay – with suspense, structure and a happy ending.

A team like an ensemble from a novel

What would a novel be without its characters? And what would AVMS be without its team? Every single one of them – from project management to the warehouse – helps to ensure that events like the book fair not only work, but also inspire. With passion, professionalism and a pinch of humor.
