About us

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.

Wir über uns

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.
