What VPT GmbH & Co. KG does

VPT GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held, full-service event and production technology company founded in 1997 and headquartered in Neulingen-Nussbaum, Germany. The firm delivers technical and decorative stage construction, modular mobile broadcast infrastructure, and live-event production services for major international sporting and entertainment events. Its product portfolio spans commentator booths (Kommentatorenkabinen), glass studios (Glasstudios), camera platforms, event scaffolding, truss and rigging systems, viewer tribunes, lighting technology, graphics/branding, and mobile office trailers (Büromobile). Underlying capabilities include in-house carpentry, metalworking, and paint workshops; a proprietary fleet of more than 25 vehicles ranging from 2.8t vans to 40t semi-trailers; and approximately 4,000 m² of storage capacity across its headquarters and a Bretten warehouse/workshop facility.

The company generates revenue primarily through project-based event-production contracts and modular equipment rental/delivery. Customers are concentrated among European broadcasters (RTL, ARD, ZDF), streaming platforms (perform/DAZN), international sports federations and leagues (UEFA, EURO2024 GmbH, NFL, FIS, DSV, ITR/DTM), with secondary work in corporate exhibitions and TV/film set construction. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; go-to-market is direct enterprise sales supported by on-site field deployment, with visibility driven primarily by event-broadcast exposure rather than paid marketing channels. Operations extend across Europe, North America (NFL international games and Super Bowl), the Middle East, and select additional markets, executed by 10 permanent staff supplemented by over 30 freelance specialists with qualifications spanning metalworking, carpentry, art painting, event technology, and stage management.
