Produktionsbude Gmbh

What Produktionsbude Gmbh does

Produktionsbude GmbH is a privately held Swiss event planning and production company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Winterthur, Switzerland. The company plans and produces events of varying scale for cultural and corporate clients across Switzerland, offering three core service modules: GESAMTUMSETZUNG (full end-to-end implementation taking lead responsibility from kick-off through debriefing), PROJEKTPLANUNG (project planning and execution when a concept already exists), and DEKORATION & GESTALTUNG (creative decoration and design drawing on an in-house inventory of props and materials). The underlying technical capabilities include CAD-based event planning, light installation, projection mapping, and deployment of event infrastructure, supported by an office at Rychenbergstrasse 67 and a warehouse at Zeughausstrasse 52 in Winterthur.

The company serves a portfolio of cultural-sector clients including flagship mandates for the Lilu Lichtfestival Luzern (Switzerland's largest light festival with 150,000 visitors in 2025), Openair St.Gallen, Winterthurer Musikfestwochen, ANTE concert series, SummerDays Festival, and DESIGNGUT Winterthur, alongside corporate engagements such as the Bucherer Zürich grand opening and Whisky Mäss Winterthur. The team is small (1-10 employees), comprising a core staff of five (Thomas Fritschi, Nicole Heinzelmann, Ema Züllig, Samira Würsch, Laura Világi) supplemented by culturally aligned freelancers engaged per project.

Revenue is generated through quote-based project mandates (Mandate) under a professional services model, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is portfolio-led via the company website, supplemented by network-based referrals within the Swiss cultural and corporate event sectors. Distribution is direct B2B/B2O (organization) sales to event organizers, cultural associations, and corporations in Switzerland. No external funding, parent company, or subsidiary structure is disclosed; ownership is founder-led with Thomas Fritschi listed as the authorized representative in the Swiss commercial register.

Direct peers

• Gahrens + Battermann: German media technology and event services provider offering AV, lighting, projection, and live event production. Overlaps with Produktionsbude on projection mapping, lighting installations, and AV execution for cultural events.
• Nüssli Group: Swiss-headquartered global specialist in temporary event infrastructure, grandstands, stages, and pavilion builds. Comparable for festival and large-scale event infrastructure delivery that Produktionsbude coordinates for Swiss festivals like Openair St.Gallen.
• Habegger AG: Swiss event services and live communication agency headquartered in Zurich. Habegger is one of the largest full-service event production companies in Switzerland, directly comparable to Produktionsbude's end-to-end mandate model for corporate and cultural clients.
• satis&fy AG: German-DACH event technology and production company providing staging, lighting, rigging, and AV for major festivals and corporate events. Comparable to Produktionsbude on the technical production and infrastructure side of mandates.

Regional players

• LiveAct GmbH: German agency specializing in event production, live communication, and brand experiences, primarily serving DACH-region corporate clients. Comparable service portfolio (planning, production, design) to Produktionsbude but operating in Germany rather than Switzerland.
• BOM GmbH & Co. KG: German full-service event and live-marketing agency delivering corporate events, incentives, and cultural productions. Comparable end-to-end mandate model (concept-to-execution) and similar client mix to Produktionsbude, though larger and Germany-focused.

Others

• ESTEC GmbH: German event technology company providing lighting and illumination installations. Already a named partner of Produktionsbude for DESIGNGUT events; represents an ecosystem peer for the technical layer Produktionsbude coordinates.
• ProSiebenSat.1 Produktion (event services): German TV production arm providing event and live-production services including staging and technical execution. Tangentially comparable for technical production and infrastructure capabilities that Produktionsbude subcontracts or coordinates.

Broad incumbents

• Jung von Matt/Limmat: Major Swiss creative and event-marketing agency within Jung von Matt network. Provides brand experiences, event production, and experiential marketing for enterprise clients — competes with Produktionsbude for corporate event mandates like the Bucherer grand opening.
• MCH Group: Swiss-listed live marketing and exhibition group (owns Swiss exhibitions, Art Basel, etc.). Operates at much larger scale than Produktionsbude but competes for the same pool of large cultural and corporate event mandates in Switzerland.
