About planetlan

One team. Your goal. Our mission.

planetlan stands for “Productions with bits and bytes that inspire people”. With this mission in mind we design events, festivals and roadshows; produce extraordinary films; and provide live broadcasts and IT installations for major events worldwide.

Background

Coming from the gaming industry we have established unique selling points within the event and film industries that enable us to continuously expand our strong market position across various sectors.

Despite our growth we have remained loyal to our founding location – Bochum-Wattenscheid in the heart of the Ruhr region – where we have expanded our operations several times.

Since our foundation in 2000 we have been employing people with ideas and passion who seek out challenges, enjoy working with international brands and wish to fulfil their potential as part of a successful company. Combined with flat hierarchies our team forms the foundation of our long-standing success.

Our incredible partners at planetlan GmbH delivered two of the most incredible booths for us, providing our teams a fantastic venue for meetings throughout the business days and an incredible experience for gamers to try out Kingdom Come Deliverance II in the consumer halls.

Head of Events, PLAION

I’ve previously worked with planetlan primarily with booth staff. So always have a good report with planetlan. Working with them actually in booth development honestly it was so streamlined, it was super easy, I didn’t feel like I was having demand after demand. They made sure it was easy because I hope they took into consideration I was also doing the costumer booth, so I was also stressed with that, and they made it really easy.
