NEP Switzerland

What NEP Switzerland does

NEP Switzerland AG is the Swiss operating subsidiary of US-based NEP Group, Inc., a global broadcast services provider. Headquartered at the Zurich Broadcast Center in Volketswil, the company delivers comprehensive live broadcast and event production services centered on a fleet of outside broadcast (OB) trucks — HD10, HD-X, SUI-76, Ultra HD41, and Ultra HD42 — portable flypack systems, and Studio A53.2 (493 sqm of integrated studio technology). Its centralized/remote production methodology routes event signals to a central control room in Volketswil, reducing on-site personnel while maintaining broadcast-quality output, and NEP Switzerland is one of the first global broadcasters to produce football matches weekly in Ultra HD (Credit Suisse Super League). The company also operates the NEP Mediabank, a cloud-based media asset management platform providing automated ingest, clipping, and multi-platform content distribution to sports leagues.

The company serves four primary customer segments: TV broadcasters and media companies (e.g., Energy TV, ProSieben Schweiz), sports leagues and federations (Swiss Football League, Austrian Football Bundesliga / ÖFBL), corporate event organizers (ABB, SAP, Dosenbach), and entertainment/music festivals (Openair Frauenfeld, Moon&Stars, Energy Air, SummerDays). Notable project work includes the Rhätische Bahn AG / Ringier AG world record broadcast (19 cameras, 5,460 working hours, 55 crew, awarded the 2023 XAVER-Award for Best Supplier Services), live streaming of the Arlberg ski race in Lech Zürs, and the 2023 Radsporttage Gippingen cycling event.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services contracts (OB truck and flypack rentals, studio production, host broadcast support, post-production, system integration, RF and specialty capture) supplemented by managed services from the NEP Mediabank platform. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales targeting broadcasters, sports rights-holders, and large corporates; pricing is quoted per project scope and is not publicly disclosed. NEP Switzerland employs 320+ people locally, including 150+ technical engineers, and draws on the wider NEP Worldwide Network (4,000 employees, 110 offices across 24 countries, 195+ OB trucks, 53 studios) to service international productions while maintaining local Swiss market expertise.
