A foray into the history of 4mation
For more than two decades, 4mation has been involved in planning and implementing event security for many national and international events. In the meantime, this has already included historic milestones in Austria’s event history.
25 years of 4mation
We were born in the mid-’90s probably somewhere between the legendary clubbing nights in Vienna’s Sofiensälen, the Biosphere Rave in the Budocenter and the XXX clubbings in the former Gasometer. In addition, at that time, the support of the partying students at pretty much every university in Vienna was added quite quickly: from the University of Vienna to the Juridicum and the TU, to the parties at the WU University of Economics and Business Administration and the BWZ Centre of International Business Administration on Brünner Straße.
We sweated at the Beach Volleyball World Cup in Klagenfurt and provided security in the VIP and media areas at more than 100 matches of the Austrian national soccer team. We attended the UEFA European Championship 2008 matches in all four stadiums in Austria until the crowning finale at the final match at the Ernst-Happel-Stadium in Vienna. And we had the honour of working for the absolute greatest in sports history at the Gala Night of Sports and the World Sports Awards at the Hofburg in Vienna.
We swayed along at the concerts of Robbie Williams and Peter Gabriel and got moist eyes at the legendary farewell concerts of Kurt Ostbahn at the Hohe Warte and the Kaiserwiese. And we weren’t shy about looking after really big concerts like the Concert for Europe at Schönbrunn, the Summer Night Concerts of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra with up to 100,000 guests in the Schönbrunn Palace Park or the SoundStorm Festival in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Here the Love Parades and the Life Ball in Vienna, there the General Assembly and Prize Giving Gala of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile and UEFA conferences and in between, the Dalai Lama’s speech at Heldenplatz in Vienna or the opening events of the Wiener Festwochen and the Impulstanz Festival in Vienna. We never had and still have no fear of contact with the most diverse groups of visitors.
Clients appreciate our seriousness in the background and our professional appearance in the limelight. For more than 20 years, we have enjoyed the trust of ministries and international organisations as well as the Viennale, the Kurier Romy Gala, ORF, Puls4, ATV and companies from a wide range of business sectors such as A1, T-Mobile, Cartier, Frequentis, IBM, Audi, Mercedes, and Lufthansa. All of these on both national and international stages.
Of course, the changing times do not leave the event and security industry unscathed and, therefore, present us with new challenges. Therefore, we regularly invest in professional training and the development of skills and competencies not only for us personally but also, above all, for the quality of our work and the satisfaction of our customers.
Our employees
Our central claim is to provide you and your guests with highly qualified and professional staff. For this reason, we only employ staff with many years of experience and a high level of education. We also have staff with various foreign-language skills.
Central requirements for a job at 4mation are
Serious and confident appearance
Excellent manners
Professionalism in problem-solving
We have our own pool of event hostesses, especially for the entrance and reception areas.
Our Values
Professionalism
We take care of all aspects to ensure that your event runs smoothly and safely. You can therefore take full care of your guests.
Quality
We place special emphasis on the training and appearance of our employees. We are quite well-known for this in our industry.
Individuality
We see every event as unique. That’s why you always get an individual solution from us instead of a standard product.
The difference is not what we do, but how we do it.
Your exclusive partner for the success of your event.
