Design-build audiovisual for Green Bay mills, plants, offices, and civic rooms, engineered for the plant floor and a deep-winter climate.
Everyone knows Green Bay for one building on a Sunday. That's the famous Green Bay. The one that buys commercial AV all week is a different place entirely: a working, industrial economy built on paper and packaging mills, food-processing plants, insurance headquarters, and the shipping that moves it all. This is one of the country's major paper and packaging centers, and those operations don't need spectacle, they need training rooms that get a shift up to speed, briefing and safety rooms that run every morning, plant-floor paging that carries over the machines, and offices that just work. The stadium is the postcard. The mills, the plants, and the corporate floors are the market, and that's the Green Bay we mostly build for.
So we build for the working economy, the industrial floors and the corporate rooms, and we're happy to leave game-day spectacle to someone else. Industrial AV is its own discipline: paging and audio that stay intelligible over plant noise, gear ruggedized for dust, wash-down, and temperature swings, and controls a rotating shift can run without a specialist. The office side wants the same reliability, standardized room to room and documented for whoever inherits it. All of it also has to survive a Green Bay winter, which is not a figure of speech. From there the craft holds: real drawings, a rack assembled and burned in at our shop, a clean install, tuning, training, and support that mostly gets solved from our desks. Since 2008.

Spaces we've wired across Green Bay — each built and supported by the same local crew.
Downtown and Broadway, the industrial corridor and the Port, Ashwaubenon and De Pere, Bellevue and Howard.
Green Bay runs some of the coldest winters in the country, so outdoor gear and its power get rated for deep sub-zero cold rather than a mild minimum.
Snow piles up fast and stays, so exterior mounts and enclosures get built to carry real snow and ice weight and shed it.
Months below freezing and the swings around it work seals loose, so exterior hardware is chosen for the cold and the cycling both.
The brief summer still turns humid, so equipment closets get real cooling even in a cold-weather town.
What we do here
Four kinds of buyers drive our Green Bay work, and the biggest of them runs a plant floor, not a scoreboard.
This is the buyer that actually runs Green Bay. The paper and packaging mills, the food-processing plants, and the logistics that move their output all need AV built for an industrial reality, not a showroom. That means plant-floor paging and audio that stay clear over machine noise, training and safety rooms that get a shift ready every morning, and briefing spaces a supervisor can run without a technician. Gear near the floor gets specified for dust, wash-down, and temperature swings, because standard office equipment doesn't last where the work actually happens. Multi-plant operators get one standard across every facility, so training and operations feel the same site to site. It's the backbone of how this region makes and ships things, and it has to run every shift, in every season.
Green Bay's white-collar base is bigger than outsiders expect, anchored by insurance headquarters, healthcare administration, and the corporate offices that support the industrial economy. These rooms want reliability over flash. A boardroom that comes up without drama, a training room a shift lead can drive, and one reliable way to launch a meeting anywhere in the building. We confirm the platforms a team actually uses, set up every room to behave the same, and leave behind a documentation set the facility's own team can run with. For a company that runs lean and expects things to just work, the AV can't be the thing that breaks the morning. This is steady, behind-the-scenes work that keeps a building productive for years, and it never once needs a camera.
Green Bay goes out downtown, in the Broadway District, and across the river in De Pere, and yes, the calendar swells around game weekends. So a room has to sound easy on a normal night and still carry when the crowd triples, zoned so a bar or a live act stays off the tables that came to eat. Older brick rooms downtown run hard and lively, so placement and tuning matter more than raw volume. Where a room hosts live music, we design the AV and the connections and leave the show itself to the performers and their crew, because we do not book talent, we do not mix live shows, and we do not do production camera work. The point is a room that's easy on a slow Tuesday and still solid when a Sunday crowd packs it, all off one system the staff runs themselves.
Public work here means Brown County, the City of Green Bay, De Pere and the surrounding villages, plus the university and technical-college rooms. All of it buys on bids, and the test never changes: if the person in the last row can't follow the session, the purchase failed, so the microphone plan and gain structure come before the speaker count. The campus rooms are built so an instructor can start a class without help and without a manual. Controls get sized for the clerk or staffer who runs the room, and bid and records rules get met as written. Rooms that stream a public session get the outlet designed in while your team runs the feed. Public work runs on patience and clean paperwork, and that's the pace we build at.
It's most of what we do here, actually. Green Bay's reputation is the stadium, but the commercial AV that fills our calendar is industrial: the paper and packaging mills, the food-processing plants, and the offices and insurance headquarters that run alongside them. Those buyers don't want spectacle, they want a training room that gets a shift productive, a safety or briefing room that runs every morning, plant-floor paging that carries over the machines, and meeting rooms that simply work. That's a different craft from a broadcast or a show, and it's the one we specialize in, ruggedized where the plant floor demands it, standardized across facilities, and documented so a rotating crew and the next facilities hire aren't left guessing. Crunchy Tech has been doing this since 2008, and the Green Bay we build for is the working one, the mills and the offices, not the postcard.
It can, but only if it's built for that environment from the start, because ordinary AV doesn't survive a plant floor. Dust works into unsealed gear, wash-down and humidity kill anything not rated for it, and the temperature can swing hard near dock doors, so we specify industrial-grade, sealed equipment where the floor demands it rather than repurposing office hardware. Intelligibility is the real challenge, since a page or an alarm has to cut through machine noise and reach every corner, which takes the right speaker types, placement, and tuning rather than more volume. We design the paging and audio so a message is clear from the office to the far end of the floor, and we keep the controls simple enough for whoever is on shift. Done right, an industrial AV system is as dependable as the machines around it. Done with office gear, it's a warranty claim waiting to happen, which is why we don't cut that corner.
Different rules at each one, since Brown County is a cluster of separate municipalities rather than one city. Green Bay, Ashwaubenon, De Pere, Bellevue, Howard, and the rest each keep their own building department and inspectors, so a project in the next village starts fresh at that counter no matter what cleared before. Wisconsin's commercial building code gives you some statewide consistency on the engineering, but the permit and the inspection happen locally, town by town. We handle that side, the correct submittal in each municipality, the right inspectors, and honest scheduling when one office runs slow, so the only thing on your desk is a date you can schedule to. What holds constant is the way each room runs for your staff, one consistent interface and opening routine at every plant and office, so crossing town lines never means relearning the system. You run one business across a handful of Brown County governments, and carrying that is a big part of what we do.
A great deal, because a Green Bay winter is one of the harshest in the country and it's unforgiving of anything not built for it. Outdoor displays, cameras, and dock-area equipment face deep sub-zero cold that can freeze up gear rated only for mild conditions, so we specify components and enclosures for the actual low temperatures rather than a catalog minimum. Snow and ice load is the second problem, since mounts and enclosures have to carry real weight, shed it, and survive the crews and plows clearing it. The constant freeze-thaw works seals and gaskets loose over a long season, so outdoor hardware gets chosen for the cycling as much as the cold. Heated enclosures and proper cable ratings turn a winter liability into a non-issue. It's the kind of engineering that's invisible when it's done right and very visible the first January it wasn't.

We don’t sell you what we have. We design what you need. That line is the operating principle I’ve built Crunchy Tech around for the last 20 years. And it’s the single sentence that separates us - and the small handful of firms like us - from the other 97% of the commercial AV industry.

"Where's my quote?"
Read article arrow_forwardTell us the plant, the office, or the room, and what it has to do every shift, because most of our Green Bay work is the industrial and corporate economy, not the stadium. We begin with what the space has to do, size its floor and winter conditions on the walk, and hand back a scope engineered for the work and the weather this region actually gets.
