LAS VEGAS — Stage Technologies is expanding its U.S. rental services division, increasing the availability of its automation systems in the country. The company is now offering the same rental products and services already available from its U.K. branch. U.S. customers can now request single?axis and multiple?axis control solutions plus point hoists, performer flying rigs and control cabinets for theater productions, rock tours and concerts. The same equipment can also be used to fly remote cameras for live shows, TV and film.

“We’re very excited to offer our U.S. customers the same products and services that the company has supplied extensively around the rest of the globe,” said Gemma Guy, Stage Technologies’ business development manager. “The demand for automation worldwide is huge and is only going to grow in this country. We’re pleased to offer our expertise and support to creative teams to bring their designs to life – no matter how ambitious their plans might be.”

Stage Technologies provided the performer flying rig used on Taylor Swift’s Speak Now tour in the U.S., and will continue with the tour as it heads to Australia and New Zealand in 2012. In the past 24 months Stage Technologies’ rental systems have also featured on numerous projects in Australia, Belgium, Qatar, Hong Kong, Mexico and Sweden; flying P!nk on her last two tours, providing a 21?axis flying system for the Pan American Games Opening Ceremony in Guadalajara and flying Kevin Spacey during the Old Vic’s touring production of Richard III, among other projects. Stage Technologies’ rental equipment has also featured in motion pictures including Sherlock Holmes, Pirates of the Caribbean and Mission Impossible.
