Certified Event Rigging & Staging Services | Safety-First Production
FPC (Flo Production Consulting Inc.) provides certified event rigging and custom staging services for corporate events across North America. Based in Markham, Ontario, FPC deploys structural rigging, box truss systems, motorized chain hoists, and safety-first cable management. All rigging is performed by certified technicians following OSHA and local safety standards.
Invisible Strength - Visible Results
Corporate liability and physical safety are massive concerns for enterprise organizations hosting live events. Exposed cables snaking across audience walkways, ugly scaffolding visible behind the stage, and unsecured equipment overhead do not just ruin the carefully crafted brand image - they represent genuine safety hazards and potential liability nightmares for your organization.
FPC relies exclusively on certified riggers to ensure every installation is structurally sound, safely hidden from the audience's view, and built to the highest safety standards in the industry. With 13+ years engineering rigging and staging systems for demanding productions - from Mobile World Congress in Barcelona to NFL events and Ferrari product launches - we bring a level of structural expertise and safety consciousness that the typical AV rental company simply cannot provide.
Our approach to rigging and staging is simple: if it hangs overhead, it must be engineered by certified professionals with documented load calculations, safety inspections, and redundant safety measures. If it touches the floor, it must be clean, hidden, and ADA-compliant. No exceptions, no shortcuts, no compromises.
Rigging & Staging Engineered for Safety and Aesthetics
Certified Structural Rigging
Every rigging installation is designed, calculated, and executed by certified riggers who hold current industry certifications. We calculate load weights for every fixture, screen, speaker, and truss element - cross-referencing against venue rigging point capacities documented in structural engineering reports. Safety factors are applied to every calculation, and all rigging hardware is inspected before every installation. This rigorous approach protects your attendees, your organization, and your reputation.
Aluminum Box Truss and Motorized Hoists
We deploy professional-grade aluminum box truss in configurations ranging from simple single-span lighting bars to complex multi-level stage structures supporting lighting fixtures, LED walls, speaker arrays, and scenic elements. Motorized chain hoists allow precise vertical positioning of truss elements, enabling efficient load-in and the ability to adjust heights during rehearsals without manual climbing. All truss connections use industry-standard hardware with safety pins and clips verified at every junction point.
Clean Cable Management and Hidden Infrastructure
Clean cable management is a core FPC production standard - not an optional add-on. We route all power, data, audio, and video cables through hidden pathways using truss-mounted cable trays, under-carpet cable ramps, and venue infrastructure wherever available. All cable runs in audience-accessible areas are covered with ADA-compliant cable ramps, color-matched to the venue flooring. Exposed technical infrastructure is dressed behind drape, scenic panels, or hidden in purpose-built enclosures. The result is a polished production environment where the technology is invisible and your brand takes center stage.
Expert Production Crew and Stage Management
Every FPC production is staffed with experienced production professionals led by our founder, Andrew Florencia, who personally serves as production director on every project. Our crews include certified riggers, stage managers, audio and video engineers, lighting designers, and experienced stagehands - all coordinated through professional intercom systems for seamless communication. Our stage managers coordinate presenter transitions, cue calls, and real-time communication between the production booth, backstage, and front-of-house, ensuring your event runs with the precision of a broadcast production.
Safety Is Not a Feature - It's a Foundation
The rigging and staging infrastructure of your corporate event is the invisible backbone that supports everything your audience sees and hears. When it is done right, nobody notices. When it is done wrong, the consequences range from embarrassing aesthetic failures to genuine safety hazards that put your attendees and your organization at risk.
FPC operates with a safety-first philosophy that was forged engineering productions for the most demanding clients in the world. The same rigging standards we apply to NFL events - where structural failure is not an option - are the same standards we bring to your corporate conference, pharmaceutical symposium, or executive retreat. There is no tiered approach to safety at FPC. Every production receives the same level of certified rigging expertise, regardless of scale or budget.
Our experience with enterprise clients like Sanofi, BeiGene, IPSEN, UCB, and Baxter means we understand the heightened liability concerns and compliance requirements that corporate organizations face. We provide detailed rigging documentation, load calculation reports, and safety inspection records that satisfy the most stringent venue requirements and corporate risk management teams.
Beyond safety, we understand that the staging environment directly impacts your brand perception. Exposed road cases, tangled cables, and visible technical infrastructure communicate carelessness - the opposite of what your premium brand demands. FPC creates production environments where the technology disappears and your message takes center stage.
Frequently Asked Questions About Rigging & Staging
Yes, FPC exclusively uses certified riggers for every installation. All rigging personnel hold current certifications and are trained in structural load calculations, safety inspections, and emergency procedures. We never compromise on rigging qualifications - your attendees' safety and your organization's liability are non-negotiable priorities.
Absolutely. Many hotel ballrooms have restrictive rigging policies or limited rigging point availability. FPC conducts detailed venue surveys to identify all available rigging points, load capacities, and restrictions. When ceiling rigging is not available, we deploy ground-supported truss structures, upright and base systems, and creative alternatives that achieve the same visual impact without ceiling attachment.
Clean cable management is a core FPC standard. We route all cables through hidden pathways using cable ramps, truss-mounted cable trays, and venue infrastructure wherever possible. Exposed cables are dressed with black or color-matched gaffer tape, and all cable runs in audience-accessible areas are covered with ADA-compliant cable ramps. The goal is invisible infrastructure - your attendees should never see the technical backbone of the production.
Yes. Every FPC production includes experienced production crew led by our founder, Andrew Florencia, who personally serves as production director. Our crews include stage managers, audio engineers, video engineers, lighting designers, and stagehands - all coordinated through professional intercom systems for seamless communication throughout the event.
