VENON

What VENON does

VENON Projects AG is a privately held Swiss Aktiengesellschaft headquartered in Zürich (Binzmühlestrasse 170d, CH-8050 Zürich) that provides comprehensive event technology services for live events, corporate productions, and venue operations. Founded in 2018, the company operates with a team of approximately 11-50 professionals (roughly 27 named staff including partners, project managers, engineers, technicians, warehouse and administrative personnel) and operates from three physical nodes: the Zürich headquarters, an on-site office at Kongresshaus Zürich, and a warehouse facility in Wil (Industriestrasse 23). The offering is organized into four core service divisions: Event Technik (lighting, audio, projection, LED, video, rigging, ICT plus logistics and on-site operating), Event Engineering (planning, production and assembly management, structural calculations, and Vectorworks-based CAD design), Event Architektur (set design, stage construction, lighting design, furniture and digital interior), and Venue Solutions (operating, maintenance, and innovative venue partnership models).\n\nThe business model is a B2B professional services, project-based engagement model: VENON sources equipment from leading suppliers across Europe and deploys its own personnel for setup, operation, and dismantling. Pricing is quote-based and varies by event scope, duration, equipment requirements, and technical complexity, with no public rate cards or subscription tiers. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, complemented by embedded venue partnerships (Kongresshaus Zürich) and recurring collaborations with event agencies such as JEFF Zürich, McKinivan Moos Inc., and Ringier AG. Target customer segments include event organizers and production companies, event agencies and live communication departments of large corporates, facility management companies, and venues.\n\nThe customer base is concentrated in Switzerland (Zürich, Basel, Bern, Luzern, Locarno, Thun, Frauenfeld) with international deployments in Germany (Nürburgring, Nuremberg, Geneva-adjacent events). Named enterprise clients include Roche, SAP, Siemens, Huawei, BMW, IKEA, MTV, Energy Schweiz AG, and Ringier Medien Schweiz; named event properties include Moon&Stars Festival, Open Air Frauenfeld, Zürich Film Festival, Swiss Music Awards, Rock am Ring, Thunerseespiele, Swiss Football Award Night, and Energy Air at Stadion Letzigrund. Notable technical scale includes deploying 800+ sqm of LED walls, 600+ lighting fixtures, and over 70 tons of event technology equipment for single events. The company is privately held by named partners Christof Murer (project development) and Sandro Marazzi (finance & controlling), with additional partners David Haag and David Kess leading project management and engineering; no external investors or funding rounds are disclosed.

Core offering

VENON Projects AG provides cross-trade event technology and event architecture services spanning lighting, audio, projection, LED, video, rigging, ICT, logistics, and on-site operating, complemented by technical planning/engineering and set/stage design. The company delivers full-service event technology solutions to event organizers, production companies, agencies, venues, and corporate clients, sourcing equipment from leading European suppliers while deploying their own personnel for setup and execution.

Product overview

VENON is an event technology services company operating as a single unified offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The company's four core service divisions—Event Technik, Event Engineering, Event Architektur, and Venue Solutions—work together to deliver cross-trade event technology and event architecture from design through planning to execution. Event Technik provides the technical equipment and operations (lighting, audio, video, LED, rigging, ICT), while Event Engineering handles technical planning and structural calculations. Event Architektur delivers set design, stage construction, and digital interiors, and Venue Solutions manages venue operating, maintenance, and partnership models. Technical Planning Services supports these divisions with CAD-based design and project coordination.
