Rhino Staging (Rhino), a provider of stagecraft and rigging crews nationwide and a proud member of Program Productions’ family of companies, has acquired ROC Rigging. Based in La Quinta, CA, ROC Rigging is widely recognized as the choice provider of special event rigging services for entertainment, corporate, and private events in the Palm Springs area since its founding in 2013 by Matt Talley. With a commitment to excellence and a focus on safety, the company quickly earned a reputation for delivering skilled, reliable crews that consistently exceed client expectations.
Rhino, based in Tempe AZ, provides highly specialized stage and rigging crews for premier U.S. concerts, festivals and sporting events throughout the US. Established in 1991, Rhino was founded with a vision to revolutionize the staging industry by striving to foster a culture of safety, respect, and reliability among professionals. With 16 regional offices, staffed with industry veterans, and 6,000 highly specialized crew members, Rhino serviced over 25,000 events in 2024 for the top players in the event production industry. The addition of ROC Rigging to the Rhino family will serve to strengthen services offered in the Palm Springs and surrounding area in CA.
“I am thrilled to welcome ROC Rigging to the Rhino family and partner with them in elevating our premier companies to new heights” said Jeff Giek, Rhino Staging CEO. “Our shared commitment to delivering unmatched service will undoubtedly strengthen the Rhino family and enhance the experience for our customers. Combining forces, Rhino and ROC Rigging will continue to build upon our common mission to provide the best crews in the industry, take care of our people, and exceed our customer’s expectations.”
Matt Talley, ROC Rigging Founder and CEO, and the ROC Rigging management team will remain in place and continue to lead as ROC integrates with Rhino.
“We are very excited about our partnership with Rhino Staging. From the very start, this collaboration has been an inspiring journey,” said Talley. “With our shared commitment to integrity and excellence, we look forward to new growth opportunities and enhancing the services we provide as a united organization.”
