Akun Tehdas x Wulff Works

The challenge

The Summer 2024 event season was busy: numerous festivals and major live events across the country created fluctuating workforce needs that required rapid replenishment. Building events—stages, technology, structures, and logistics—requires skilled personnel capable of working under tight deadlines and in constantly changing conditions. The capacity of the in-house staff alone was not enough to cover all projects.

The solution

Wulff Works provided Akun Tehdas with flexible event industry experts across Finland. The staff was assembled according to specific needs to assist in building performance stages, technical setups, and other event production entities for festivals, concerts, and corporate events.

Jyrki Saranpää from Akun Tehdas emphasizes that Wulff Works’ experience in the event sector and live productions was evident in practice: the teams understood what event construction requires and were able to operate quickly, safely, and with high quality.

Client experiences and valued aspects of the cooperation

  • Industry Knowledge: Wulff Works’ staff has experience in the event industry and its requirements, which reduces time spent on onboarding and improves the quality of work.
  • A Clear Contact Person: The cooperation was led by a single named contact, through whom all needs, schedules, and changes were handled without unnecessary run-arounds.
  • Fast Response: Schedules in the event industry are fluid, but Wulff Works reacted quickly to changes and workforce needs.
  • Flexibility: Operations took place in multiple locations during the summer, and Wulff Works was able to adapt to the rhythm and duration of different events.

Results and benefits

  • Akun Tehdas secured the necessary personnel for construction and logistics tasks for various events throughout the summer.
  • Projects proceeded on schedule, even though the tempo of the events was fast and the tasks varied.
  • The model of having one clear contact person facilitated communication and reduced administrative work.
  • Wulff Works’ understanding of the special needs of event production increased certainty and trust in the partnership.
  • The company was able to focus on the artistic, technical, and holistic execution of the productions without labor shortages slowing down the work.
