Kraftwerk Living Technologies is one of the leading companies in the field of professional audiovisual system integration – headquartered in Wels, Austria.
With over 25 years of experience, vast technical know-how and a team that is always willing to push boundaries to find the best solution for our clients, we have been able to satisfy theme park providers, museum operators, designers, ride manufacturers, industry enterprises and many more all across the globe.
In 1992, the Kraftwerk Living Technologies team consisted of only four people, doing business in event and media technology with local projects around our home base in Wels. With the extremely high quality standards that we have always aimed at delivering, projects all over Austria as well as our first international projects soon followed.
In 2010, the decision to follow a new strategic direction was taken and since then, our focus is on fixed, large-scale installations in the areas of Entertainment, Industry & Science and Museums & Exhibitions — a decision that has paid off with many exciting projects, happy clients and several awards won.
