What Screenworks does

Screenworks provides video display and broadcast production solutions for live events, operating as a US-based division of NEP Group, Inc., which is itself owned by private equity firm Carlyle Group. The company was founded in 1989 and rebranded as Screenworks in 1993 when it launched the first BigMo mobile LED screen truck; it joined the NEP Worldwide Network in 2002. Core offerings include indoor/outdoor LED screens (including the proprietary BigMo mobile LED trucks with self-contained power and two-hour deploy), projection and projection mapping, multi-camera video production packages with flypacks and switching, a fleet of 17 HD/4K outside broadcast trucks, the NEP-Skyway Smart Stage in Nashville for virtual/XR production, and supporting audio, lighting, and Media Solutions (ingest, asset management, graphics, playout).

The company serves four primary verticals: Sports Events & Leagues (NHRA since 2003, International Speedway Corporation since 1996, WWE since 2000), Music Festivals & Concert Tours (Bonnaroo since 2006, Firefly), Broadcast Networks (CBS, Turner Sports for NCAA March Madness), and Corporate Events. Revenue is generated through project-based equipment rental bundled with technical staff—engineers, LED technicians, camera operators, and production crew—on a quote-driven, custom-priced model with multi-year contracts for anchor clients. Office locations include Nashville, Corona, Camarillo, and the NEP headquarters in Pittsburgh; the wider NEP network provides geographic reach across 20 countries and 65+ countries of production support, although Screenworks' own employee headcount is not disclosed. Strategic positioning emphasizes integrated end-to-end delivery (equipment plus crew plus logistics) rather than commoditized equipment rental, with marquee project showcases (WWE Thunderdome: 2,194 LED tiles and 16.3M pixels; WrestleMania 2017: 2,074 sqm of LED across 13 tractor-trailers) as primary demand-generation assets.
