40,000 parts in stock, 2,800 m² of storage space with two fully equipped production studios and a workshop and 1,800 projects a year – there's a lot going on here! We take a look behind the scenes of his day-to-day work with Antonio Mrsic, a logistician at Habegger.
Antonio’s enthusiasm for working in the warehouse runs in the family. It was through his brother that he discovered his passion early on. The sporty Bülach native has gained warehouse experience in various companies since the start of his career.
The warehouse at Habegger is a new dimension for me – the huge space and the challenging orders are simply fun.
The day starts early, at 7am – the set-up and return lists are printed out and then it’s straight down to business. The material for the upcoming projects is prepared, while returns are checked in the set-up areas and carefully stowed away. Thanks to the three loading ramps, everything runs with maximum efficiency – several orders can be processed in parallel and lorries can be loaded and unloaded at the same time.
The warehouse team also works closely with the project managers in order to be able to react flexibly to changes and spontaneous adjustments.
Clean material management, structured work and absolute precision are essential to maintain an overview at all times. Especially in the high season, for example during the annual general meeting months, it becomes a challenge – the next event already has to be prepared while material is still on its way.
Depending on the size of the project, set-up takes one to two days. Large productions quickly add up to 25 tonnes of material – including countless cables, audio, lighting and video equipment and the corresponding accessories. A logistical masterpiece that requires maximum concentration.
The Habegger warehouse team
Definitely teamwork – anything else would not work. For particularly complex orders, we set up according to trade. We have to work hand in hand here and be able to rely on each other.
Our warehouse is excellently equipped with high-quality equipment – from ROE LED walls, ROBE and Astera spotlights to GrandMA3 lighting consoles, HOF touring truss, l’acoustics loudspeakers and Yamaha mixing consoles.
For many, these terms may sound like technical jargon, but the ability to work with our own equipment instead of renting everything is a great benefit – both for us and for our clients.
Reliability, the ability to work in a team and a love of technology in live communication are the key qualifications for us. Of course, a lot depends on the industry in question, but in our field it’s a big plus if you have experience in all trades within the event world.
My job is very varied as I work with the different trades, all the in-house studio productions and from time to time I go along to events. It is unique to experience the events up close. Not only as a logistician, but I also get the chance to delve deeper into the world of broadcasting and learn new things.
A real highlight and great experience was my work at Energy Air, where I was even allowed to stand behind the camera – an ideal complement to my part-time studies as a filmmaker.
