As Close to a Home Game as It Gets
satis&fy is now Eintracht Frankfurt’s official cooperation partner
Eintracht Frankfurt celebrated the official opening of its new sports training center at the Frankfurter Riederwald on December 3. But it wasn’t just the club and all the connected sports departments that had reason to rejoice. satis&fy AG Deutschland (satis&fy), the Karben-based event and trade fair production company, also had good cause to jubilate because it is now an official cooperation partner of Eintracht Frankfurt e.V.
Having signed on as the club’s technical partner, the Hessian event service provider will treat spectators to great sound and excellent views at all events in the new club building and in the newly constructed Wolfgang Steubing hall. satis&fy has provided technical support to help to stage the soccer club’s events for several years. Now the company is an official ‘top partner.’ The satis&fy logo has featured prominently in the foyer of the club’s headquarters, on the press wall, and on the perimeter advertising in the Wolfgang Steubing hall since the first weekend of December. “We’re playing in the top league now," says company CEO Nico Ubenauf, who is clearly elated to be cooperating with the Hessian state’s most popular club. “While it’s not a criterion for getting hired – at least not yet – 80% of the people who work at Karben are die-hard Eintracht fans. And their devotion to the team predates our cooperation with the club." says Ubenauf. The company’s CEO rarely misses a home match. “Eintracht Frankfurt has one of the richest heritages of any German club and it stages the Rhine-Main region’s biggest sports events. We are delighted to be working with the professionals of satis&fy at our many events,” notes Eintracht Frankfurt Vice President Axel Hellmann.
The first gig as a ‘top partner’
satis&fy’s first engagement as an Eintracht Frankfurt partner kicked off on the morning of St. Nicholas Day. On December 6, Eintracht held its general meeting at the Riederwald location for the first time in the club’s 100+ year history. satis&fy rolled out carpet to cover the gym floor, which had been in use until just before preparations got underway. After trucking more than 160 cubic meters of materials from Karben to Frankfurt, the crew set up a round stage and installed lighting and audio equipment. A speaker lectern was designed specifically for this event, the construction of which satis&fy had outsourced. However, the final finishing was done at the company’s in-house carpenter’s shop.
satis&fy AG Deutschland has earned a top spot among European providers of event technology with its ability deliver a one-stop solution. This end-to-end offering encompasses lighting, audio, video, presentation, and stagecraft technology and services. The production company also constructs exhibition stands, and offers set, graphic, and 3D animation design services, as well as furniture rentals. Its equipment and materials pool is one of Europe’s largest. The event service provider’s holistic approach and full-service offering, all from a sole source, are among its greatest strengths. Headquartered in Karben, the enterprise employs more than 260 people. It maintains further branches in the Westphalian town of Werne and, since 2006, in Berlin. A subsidiary company operates in the Netherlands.
