From Upper Austria to the European Event Scene
Gertrude Emrich has seen—and shaped—a great deal in the world of events. Together with her husband Edi, she founded Party.Rent Austria with the goal of bringing premium event equipment rental to the Alpine region. Her approach combines entrepreneurial spirit, coaching expertise, and a deep commitment to sustainable transformation.
From managing the first logistical challenge in an abandoned gravel pit to establishing thriving locations in Wels and Vienna, Gertrude has witnessed how ideas can shape atmosphere—and how a team can evolve into a true community. Today, her role extends beyond operations to focus on the strategic development of Rent.Group in Austria—as a visionary, networker, and advocate for circular economy practices.
How a Vision Became Two Strong Locations
Vienna is a cultural hub of Europe; Wels is ideally located for logistics. Together, these two sites form the backbone of Rent.Group in Austria—powered by a strong team, future-ready processes, and a clear vision.
Gertrude is passionately committed to making sustainability a hallmark of the event industry. For her, responsibility is not an add-on—it’s central to how business should be done. Through circular thinking, smart design, and defined standards, she aims not only to create exceptional events but to generate meaningful societal impact.
“Temporary spaces create opportunities for connection, dialogue, and new perspectives. When we design them with intention, they become more than just venues—they become places where change is made tangible.”
From Hospitality to the World of Events
Dominik Pucher mastered the craft of hospitality before turning his focus to atmosphere creation. Starting out as a trained chef and restaurant professional, he built his career on genuine service and warm hospitality—with experience in both domestic and international gastronomy before moving into event and trade fair catering.
In 2012, when Rent.Group was expanding in Austria, Dominik joined the team. Since then, he has played a key role in shaping the development of the Wels and Vienna locations.
His focus areas are sales and procurement. With deep knowledge of diverse event formats, he brings structure, expertise, and a sharp eye for quality. What matters most to him is creating spaces that resonate—memorable experiences that work seamlessly for clients, teams, and guests alike.
Rent.Group Austria continues its Growth in Graz
With the new location in Kalsdorf near Graz, Rent.Group Austria is moving closer to its customers in the south of the country. The new branch strengthens the regional network, expands logistical capabilities, and creates space for consulting, planning, and design — driven by the ambition to deliver sustainable interior solutions in an even more direct and resource-efficient way.
