Film equipment rental by Maier Bros.
PROFILE
We enjoy our work…
… even when it gets funny.
Our company was founded in Cologne in 1989 by three film-loving lighting technicians and has grown steadily ever since.
We come from the application and know exactly what is important in the daily work on set. We enjoy managing projects individually, well and reliably. To this end, we have an efficient team; each individual is committed, competent, reliable and easy to reach.
We employ a staff of around 35 qualified employees at six locations: Cologne, Berlin, Leipzig, Weimar, Merano/South Tyrol and Vienna. From there, we support productions throughout Europe.
Special requirements are not a nuisance for us, but a challenge that we face with curiosity, fun and commitment. We work in a future-oriented manner and invest heavily in the good training of technicians both nationally and internationally.
Our aim is not to be one of the biggest, but one of the best.
Full service (support, rental and sales) for the areas:
Lighting, camera platform, aggregates, radio, transportation (light & KB). Calculation, scheduling, delivery and invoicing of equipment, vehicles and personnel. We work closely with partners for camera technology and post-production. Many of our customers appreciate it when we offer and support complete packages.

Technology & disposition
We will clarify any open questions BEFORE the loading day!
With special attention paid to maintenance and care, the equipment is carefully checked and must meet high technical standards. This keeps it in very good condition for a long time.
Not only is our electrical equipment regularly tested, documented and logged in accordance with DGUV-V3, but the current test logs can also be accessed online at any time. All other safety-related inspections (cranes, dollies, ladders, etc.) are also carried out and documented regularly
We can implement special and unusual requirements in our own workshops and thus offer individual technical solutions. There are many “specials” (custom-made products) for both the lighting and camera stage areas that make filming easier.
Support
Why productions like working with us:
We provide technical and organizational advice. With our know-how, we often find more efficient solutions and save costs.
We communicate additional costs before they arise.
We offer detailed and transparent cost statuses at all times.
Employees
From Brettl-Jause to Currywurst, from Kölsch to Einspänner — from Merano to Berlin and from Cologne to Vienna, qualified staff at all locations look forward to your call.
