Overview
CGS Analysen-, Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH is a German group of companies based in Denkendorf, Baden-Württemberg, active in both industrial analysis, measurement and control technology and professional event technology. The group is best known in the live-event sector through its CGS DRY HIRE division, which supplies rental houses, production companies and other trade professionals with dry-hire audio, lighting, rigging and staging equipment. According to the company, the group employs almost 200 people across its industrial and trade operations. The Dry Hire division was founded by Christian Geyer as a department of CGS Analysen-, Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH and has operated under the CGS DRY HIRE name for more than 25 years. It positions itself as a premium dry-hire supplier: equipment is rented without operators or technical crew, leaving clients to deploy the gear with their own teams. The portfolio is built around recognised professional manufacturers including d&b audiotechnik, L-Acoustics, DiGiCo, Yamaha, Martin, MA Lighting, Clay Paky, Robe, SGM, JB Lighting, Movecat and BroadWeigh, among others. Recent highlights advertised by the company include d&b audiotechnik GSL and SL-series loudspeakers, Ayrton Neo Series fixtures, GLP TWYN, Yamaha compact systems and INFiLED AR7.8 MK2 LED touring systems. Beyond dry hire, CGS DRY HIRE offers long-term rental at low cost, a marketplace for used event technology, and a material folder for clients. The company states that it continuously invests in high-quality technology to keep its inventory current, and guarantees high availability as well as well-maintained, functional equipment. It has been ISO 9001 certified by TÜV Süd for several years and applies self-developed test routines, warehouse management and troubleshooting procedures. A specialist team supports customers from order through post-project processing, including individually assembled and labelled cable cases. CGS DRY HIRE is headquartered at Keltenstraße 3, 85095 Denkendorf, Germany, and can be reached by phone and email during standard business hours. The wider CGS group combines industrial measurement and control activities with the event-technology rental business, giving the brand a dual identity: an engineering company at its core and a premium dry-hire partner for the professional live-event industry.
History
CGS Analysen-, Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH is a German group of companies based in Denkendorf, Baden-Württemberg. Its core industrial business covers analysis, measurement and control technology, while its trade activities extend into professional event technology. The group states that it employs almost 200 people across industry and trade. The event-technology side of the business began as a department of CGS Analysen-, Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH, founded by Christian Geyer. That department grew into the CGS DRY HIRE division, which has operated under the CGS DRY HIRE name for more than 25 years. From its base in Denkendorf, the division has built a dry-hire model in which professional audio, lighting, rigging and staging equipment is rented to trade customers without operators or technical crew, allowing clients to deploy the gear with their own teams.

The company emphasises continuous reinvestment in current technology to keep the inventory up to date, and it guarantees high availability and well-maintained functionality of the equipment it rents out. It has been ISO 9001 certified by TÜV Süd for several years and uses self-developed test routines, warehouse management and troubleshooting procedures. A specialist team handles customers from order through post-project processing, including individually assembled and labelled cable cases. In addition to dry hire, the division offers long-term rental at low cost, a marketplace for used event technology, and a material folder. Its recent product communications have highlighted d&b audiotechnik GSL and SL-series loudspeakers, Ayrton Neo Series fixtures, GLP TWYN, Yamaha compact systems, INFiLED AR7.8 MK2 LED touring systems and d&b CL Series, among others.
