Halstenbek, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
Backed by over 20 years of industry experience, I am proud to lead XI-MACHINES as CEO, still being deeply involved in the hands-on 3D design, engineering, and manufacturing coordination of our products. Since our foundation in 2005, our vision evolved from high-performance computing for creative professionals to developing our own flagship Flexible Mediaserver line. Today, we go far beyond simply building premium hardware—we deliver fully integrated, turnkey systems and act as a trusted OEM manufacturing partner for the professional media project business. In a market where cutting corners has become all too common and many brands compromise their standards over time, I take pride in staying true to our core principles: zero compromises and quality over quantity. While others simply put a new faceplate on repackaged standard barebones, we believe in true, ground-up custom engineering. We deliver purpose-built, specialized turnkey solutions designed to excel where generic hardware fails. Our solutions are trusted by professionals and deployed in demanding projects across the globe. From high-res media playback on cruise ships to generative content at the world’s biggest festivals, theatrical productions, and complex projection-mappings. We create stunning immersive experiences, master rental & staging challenges, deliver interactive content for live shows, and provide reliability to TV broadcast operations. Simply put: our systems are used where it matters most. OUR APPROACH: Made in Germany: Manufactured at our Hamburg HQ, ensuring maximum precision, quality, and short pathways for R&D, production, testing and logistics. Performance & Reliability: Built for extreme environments and heavy workloads. Continuous stable operation and maximum performance are our standard. Software Agnostic & Validated Ecosystem: We validate over 20 major applications (incl. Pandoras Box, Pixera, TouchDesigner, LightAct, etc). By cultivating close relationships with developers and users, our turnkey solutions ensure seamless integration. Unified Hardware Platform: Standardizing on our ecosystem means technicians only need to master one hardware platform. This streamlines deployment, simplifies support, and reduces training efforts. Work Culture: Exceptional products require a supportive environment. We are dedicated to fair wages and excellent working conditions. Dedicated Support: With decades of industry experience, we provide top-notch assistance from planning through long-term deployment. Consider planning your next project with us.
