What Propmasters Miami does

Propmasters Miami (legal entity PPG Propmasters LLC) is a privately held scenic fabrication company founded in 1978 in Hialeah Gardens, Florida, operating from a 20,000 square foot production facility staffed by over 30 OSHA-certified craftspeople, contracted structural engineers, and welders. The company designs, produces, builds, ships, and assembles high-end modular scenery, props, and special effects for broadcast television, live entertainment, sports events, music videos, and commercial productions. Its integrated capabilities span carpentry, metalworking (MIG/TIG welding, milling, bending), CNC machining (three machines), industrial 3D printing, vacuum forming (the only Vacuform machine south of Orlando), acrylic fabrication, molding and sculpting, scenic painting, graphics/signage, and electrical/LED lighting integration. Equipment is supported by an owned fleet of trucks and trailers enabling nationwide delivery and installation.

The business operates a project-based, quote-only B2B service model targeting enterprise clients across four primary verticals: broadcast television networks (Univision, Telemundo, NBC), live events and entertainment (WWE WrestleMania, Super Bowl, MTV VMAs, Billboard Awards), advertising and commercial production (Bud Light, Gatorade, Wendy's, Carnival, Adidas), and arts/culture (Faena). Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, leveraging a portfolio of 7,500+ completed projects, multiple Broadcast Production Awards, and earned media coverage in trade publications such as NewscastStudio. Marquee deliverables include the world's largest channel letter sign for WrestleMania XXX (200 feet wide by 45 feet high, 40,000 pounds), a 2,500 square foot 4K HDR NESN NHL studio, and AR-integrated election night sets for Telemundo.

The company underwent a leadership transition in 2021 when a new management team took over operations, coinciding with continued award recognition and a brand new national news set build for Noticiero Univision. No institutional funding, parent company, or public listing is associated with the business, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. Geographic reach spans the Southeast, Northeast, Southwest, and West Coast of the United States, anchored by the Hialeah Gardens fabrication facility.
