LIGAPRODUCTION (LPRO) is a full-service provider which produces and distributes high-quality point-of-sale (POS) items such as shop-window campaigns, in-store elements, store-construction elements or event productions. For our national and international clients, we offer unique custom-made items and prototypes, as well as large series productions with worldwide logistics.

The concentration of six different production workshops and an in-house logistics unit under one roof, an ultra-modern infrastructure and integrated processes and information technology (IT) systems guarantee maximum flexibility and reduced transaction costs while ensuring efficient production for our clients.

Throughout the project, our project management has been in constant contact with our clients and has managed all production workshops, as well as the logistics and installation unit. As a result of increasing operational fields and responsibilities, as well as the growth in total and dutiable shipments, the current IT system in the logistics department needs to be replaced with a new IT solution based on AEB’s Assist 4.
