LD Systems
AcquiredOverview
LD Systems is a provider of professional audio, lighting, video equipment, and audiovisual systems integration services. The company operates two main divisions: event production services and AV systems integration, serving performance venues, arenas, stadiums, corporate buildings, houses of worship, and other installations. LD Systems maintains headquarters in Houston with additional offices in San Antonio and Austin, serving clients across the United States and internationally.
History
LD Systems was founded in 1975 when two college students began renting professional sound equipment for live events from a garage. The company expanded over five decades to become a regional provider of comprehensive audio, video, and lighting production services. On January 1, 2025, LD Systems celebrated its 50th anniversary and was acquired by Clair Global Group, a move intended to strengthen production services capabilities across Texas and nationwide.
