What 4e does

4e Veranstaltungsprojekt GmbH is a German specialty engineering firm founded in June 2014 by Henry Krimmel, Christoph Wegener, and Henning Rieche, all veterans of leading competitors in temporary event construction. The company designs, plans, certifies, assembles, and disassembles temporary event structures — including grandstands (Tribünen), covered grandstands, stages, podiums/platforms, modular stair systems, pedestrian bridges, pavilions, and driving surfaces — for live events, broadcast productions, cultural festivals, sports tournaments, and corporate functions. Its core technology is a proprietary modular building platform branded Eventsystem 3.0, built on the Layher Allround Lightweight (AR LW) node system using high-strength steel grades up to S460, with the full product range certified and documented under DIN EN 13814 (the European standard for temporary demountable structures).

The business operates as a project-based B2B services and rental company serving large event agencies, automotive OEMs (Volkswagen/Autostadt, Mercedes-Benz/AMG, Audi, Porsche, Škoda), TV broadcasters and production studios (ProSiebenSat.1, RTL/MMC Studios, ZDF/SAT.1, Fox), cultural institutions, sports federations, and direct corporate clients. Revenue is generated from temporary structure rental, professional technical planning and on-site project management services, and one-time sales of proprietary modular components; pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no public pricing disclosed. The firm is owner-managed, headquartered operationally in Gießen with additional offices in Berlin, Köln, and Wien, a registered seat in Nürnberg, and a documented project footprint spanning at least eight European countries including Germany, Austria, Croatia, Spain, Portugal, France, Switzerland, and Sweden.

Its product portfolio consists of four interconnected systems — Tribüne TB (modular seating), Tribüne mit Dach TBD (covered tribune), Treppe TR (modular stairs), and Podest PD (platforms) — that share connection points at the AR LW node, enabling geometric flexibility and interchangeability. Operations are supported by an in-house engineering and statics team, a storage and logistics partnership with Stocadro, and a sales-led, consultative go-to-market motion targeting enterprise clients through direct project engagement, a portfolio website, and a LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram presence.

Direct peers

• Nüssli Group: Swiss-headquartered specialist in temporary event infrastructure (grandstands, stages, platforms) for sports, cultural, and corporate events across Europe. Directly comparable to 4e in product offering, target segments (sport federations, automotive, broadcasters), and project-based delivery model.
• Losberger De Boer: One of Europe's largest temporary-structure providers offering grandstands, halls, and modular buildings for events and industry. Competes directly with 4e in DACH and across Europe on major event tenders, with a deeper asset base and broader product portfolio.
• Stageco: Belgian-headquartered international specialist in staging and grandstand construction for concerts, festivals, and sporting events. Closely comparable to 4e's tribune and stage business, with similar premium-client focus and European footprint.
• Röder Zelt- und Veranstaltungsservice: German specialist in tent and temporary structure solutions for events, sport, and industry. Operates in overlapping German DACH territory with comparable service offerings to 4e, including grandstands and platforms.

Broad incumbents

• Area Four Industries: International group encompassing multiple staging, rigging, and tent brands (Litec, TOMCAT, JTE, etc.). Operates broadly in the event infrastructure value chain that 4e participates in, with much larger scale and global reach but less specialization in premium temporary grandstand niches.
• Layher: German manufacturer of modular scaffolding systems (including the AR LW platform on which 4e's entire Eventsystem 3.0 is built). Both upstream technology supplier and indirect competitor via its own event/infrastructure solutions, making it the most strategically important comparable in the value chain.

Regional players

• Steeldeck Rentals: UK-based specialist in modular staging, grandstand, and platform rental for live events, TV, and corporate clients. Comparable product offering and target segments to 4e, but operating primarily in the British market rather than continental Europe.
• Maikon Event GmbH: German event-services firm offering modular staging, grandstand, and event infrastructure primarily within Germany. Closely comparable in size, geography, and product focus to 4e's domestic core, serving similar TV, sport, and corporate event clients.
