About us

Our approach combines technical expertise with a sustainable and energy-efficient philosophy that increases the lifespan of LEDs while minimizing energy consumption. We pride ourselves on our many years of experience and our commitment to quality craftsmanship and reliability. As a modern service company, we place great emphasis on first-class service and customer care, because your satisfaction is our top priority.

The discovery and early use of light-emitting diodes in the signage industry was a pioneering step that took place back in 1993. Specializing in the technically feasible and economically viable use of light-emitting diodes, this innovation revolutionized the industry. Since 1994, one illuminated signage manufacturer has stood out with reference objects powered by light-emitting diodes. An outstanding feature of this technology is the TRIGGER® lighting system with its innovative black box (power supply unit). This box uses a special multiplex process that significantly increases the service life of the light-emitting diodes and minimizes energy consumption. In comparison, LED signage systems without this multiplexing process of the black box require around 5.5 times more energy.

With many years of experience and numerous successfully completed reports, we are your trustworthy partner

1993: SV Europe & Partner began developing and producing the first LED-based advertising systems for AVIA Mineralölgesellschaft. They developed a module system and a pulsed power supply unit, optimized the module system for outdoor use and set up their own production line

1994 - 1998: The company installed outdoor LED advertising systems, developed larger modules with fewer but brighter and more powerful LEDs and carried out the first underwater tests with encapsulated LEDs

1999 - 2004: SV Europe & Partner carried out major orders, such as for P.S.K. Telekom in Austria. They developed the first LED “light bulb” with an E27 socket, installed an advertising system on the Colonius Tower in Cologne and began a cooperation with a Chinese manufacturer, focusing on the development of encapsulated modules

2004 - 2006: During this period, SMD chips came onto the market that were small and bright, which also led to lower prices

2008: We used large SMD chips for the development of light sources for standard sockets such as E27, Gu10, Gu5.3, G24. They achieved significant energy savings with LED tubes compared to conventional fluorescent lamps

2006 - 2014: Further development of power supply units and control devices for LED lighting, the development of street lamps controllable via PowerLAN and the entry into combined heat and power generation and energy optimization took place

2019: We took over project management for N-Ergie Nürnberg and RS-Solutions Nürnberg Elektro, as well as project and construction management for the Kitzingen Clinic

2025 - 2030

ISO 17024 Certified

2022 - 2023: Assessment, evaluation, and supervision of multiple construction projects, including the Hermes property at the FOUR Towers in Frankfurt (€600 million project)

2023 - 2024: Helfrich Engineers were involved in several major projects, including the Globe Coburg (€250 million), the Bosch facility in Nuremberg (€60 million), the Robert Herz School in Erlangen (€20 million), and the Piloty School project (€150 million).

Since 2024: PBB Engineers, being responsible for the project and construction management of the Edeka logistics center in Marktredwitz, with a total investment of €400 million.
