Velten

What Velten does

Velten GmbH (Veranstaltung & Technik) is a German full-service corporate event production company headquartered in Mommenheim in the Rhein-Main region, founded in 1992 by Uli Velten. The company operates with 11–50 employees and holds TÜV ISO 9001 certification, signaling standardized production processes relevant to enterprise procurement. Its service scope spans the full event lifecycle — concept, design, content, live direction, and technical execution — delivered under one roof alongside an owned equipment inventory covering LED walls, lighting, audio, video, rigging, and set/stage construction. Velten also operates VisionSpace, an in-house production studio positioned as a differentiated creative and technical facility.

The company's go-to-market is project-based, serving enterprise clients and agencies across financial services, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, media, and industrials. Named clients include Commerzbank AG (since 2003), Merck, adidas, Union Investment, DKM/bbg, Leistritz, ZDF, Fresenius, STADA, and SGL Carbon, with the long-tenured Commerzbank relationship functioning as a stable anchor. The firm also operates a white-label channel producing events on behalf of agencies, broadening customer reach without diluting direct enterprise relationships.

In May 2026, founder Uli Velten transitioned management to Katrin Krause while remaining a shareholder, and strategic investors Martin Dempf and Sven Hesselbach entered as new shareholders, signaling external governance and growth capital. The business remains geographically concentrated in the Rhein-Main region with Germany-wide delivery, with no disclosed international footprint. Pricing is custom-quoted per project, and revenue is not publicly disclosed; based on employee scale, equipment base, and enterprise client mix, revenue is estimated in the $10M–$25M band with medium confidence.
