Why has Can Do joined Procon Event Engineering?
Integrating Can Do within the group will create significant operational synergies, put us in pole position on the Belgian market and strengthen the position of the German group Procon Multimedia AG as European leader. The aim of this merger is for Procon Event Engineering to raise its profile on the market of corporate events such as conferences or seminars and sports events.
This means that our clients will benefit from an even broader range of equipment and extensive know-how achieved by grouping together technological expertise from the different companies.
In addition, this integration will create a real technological centre for video for the whole Procon Multimedia AG group.
Can Do resulted from the merger, in 2000, of the companies Renting & Development and Groupe Son Privé. Can Do brings together professionals who can offer more than 20 years of tried and tested audiovisual experience and its service is based on the management of quality. Led Screen, a sister company of Can Do, works mainly in international events, hiring out outdoor LED screens and has its own fleet of ‘daylight’ screen lorries.
Absolutely. Procon Event Engineering positions itself as a global player with a local profile and the operational synergies will enable us to improve even further the quality of the services provided.
Will my contact’s details change?
All of Can Do’s employees will be moving into the premises of Procon Event Engineering in Wavre. Henceforth, postal correspondence should be sent to Procon Event Engineering, Avenue Edison 12, 1300 Wavre, Belgium.

Why did the name of ETF change in November 2006 into Procon Event Engineering ?
ETF is part of the German Procon Multimedia AG group since 2001 and this name change is the result of a close collaboration between the group’s different entities. Our aim in standardising the brand image is to maximise our visibility and know-how on the international scene.
The integration into the group has allowed us to offer our customers the widest possible range of equipment possible and the know-how adapted to the demands of the market. Furthermore, this integration has also led to the creation of a group with a real influence and international coverage.
Only the name changed. All our legal details, such as our VAT, TR and bank account numbers, SWIFT code, IBAN, SIRET numbers, etc., remain the same.
Did this change affect the management or autonomy of the entities in Brussels and Paris?
There is no modification whatsoever to the management nor the management autonomy of the entities in Brussels and Paris. The entire logistics system remains as it is today.
The commercial management and co-ordination of the projects will remain the same.
Only the supply of equipment and resources such as transport and on-site technical teams may be delegated to the group’s various entities in order to guarantee an optimum quality of service.
The warehouse in Brussels will remain a central warehouse, major in the development of the group.
The preparation of the equipment in our warehouses will not change and will continue to be managed according to the type of equipment or transport distance to the site of the event.
The e-mail addresses ending on “@etf.be” and “@étf.fr” became “@procon.be” and “@procon.fr”.
The old e-mail addresses will of course remain active for a certain period of time.
