What Intamin does

Intamin is a privately held amusement ride manufacturer founded in 1967 and headquartered in Schaan, Liechtenstein, employing 51-100 people. The company designs and engineers custom roller coasters, drop towers, water rides, monorails, and associated control systems for theme park operators and entertainment venue developers worldwide. Its product portfolio spans traditional thrill rides through to media-based and immersive attraction systems, the latter expanded through the June 2026 acquisition of UK-based Simworx via a pre-packaged administration process that transferred 28 employees under TUPE arrangements.

The company's underlying technology centers on mechanical and systems engineering for safety-critical amusement rides, supported by proprietary ride technologies and engineering methods that can be licensed to operators and other manufacturers. Business model combines project-based revenue from custom attraction design and manufacturing (with milestone-based payments), ongoing technology licensing and royalties, and long-tail professional services including installation, maintenance, and lifecycle support. Intamin also earns from a small but growing immersive/media-based attractions line inherited from Simworx.

Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting major theme park operators and developers directly, supplemented by presence at industry trade shows and events. Customer base is concentrated in the theme parks and entertainment venues vertical across global markets including Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, where Saudi Arabia's Qiddiya project has awarded over USD 500 million in ride contracts for debut by late 2027. Intamin is recognized among the leading global amusement ride manufacturers alongside Bolliger & Mabillard, Vekoma, Zamperla, Mack Rides, S&S Sansei Technologies, and WhiteWater West, within a global market projected at USD 7.5 billion in 2025 growing to USD 11.8 billion by 2033 at a 5.9% CAGR.
