Precision, Presence and the Quiet Power of Expertise
There are moments when technology fades into the background — and all that remains is atmosphere. A sense of flow, light, sound, and clarity that simply feels right. Behind such moments is often a team like smARTec: quiet experts in event technology who understand that perfection doesn’t need to be loud.
Founded in 1998, smARTec Veranstaltungstechnik AG has grown from a small, passionate enterprise into one of Switzerland’s leading providers of mobile event technology. With 100 employees and over 2,000 events realised each year, the company brings together technical expertise, thoughtful planning, and a strong human focus.
Their portfolio spans private exclusive events, corporate events and public gatherings also major exhibitions — yet smARTec’s approach remains personal. The team combines high-end equipment with an intuitive sense for context, timing, and the discreet interplay of light, sound, and image.
As the exclusive technology partner of Auto Zürich, smARTec provides all event technology across the exhibition halls, including on the Media Stage, where 20 new vehicles are presented to the press.

The team combines high-end equipment with an intuitive sense for context, timing, and the discreet interplay of light, sound, and image. Sustainability is embedded into the company’s DNA. In addition to ISO certifications for quality and environmental management, smARTec invests in electromobility – including electric trucks and vans. Its new "Digital Experience" division explores hybrid formats, spatial digitalisation, and the intelligent tracking of audience flows.
And while many companies talk about growth, smARTec speaks of values. Its development is guided not by numbers, but by relationships — shaped by trust, shared vision, and mutual respect. It is this mindset that also defines the company’s new partnership with the Swiss Deluxe Hotels: a meeting of professionals who value detail, authenticity, and the subtle craft of creating lasting impressions.
