GuestONE starts 2025 as part of a strong group of companies

GuestONE starts the year 2025 as part of Manos Holding. By integrating into the group of companies, GuestONE can build on a stable foundation and utilise new resources and expertise. This collaboration not only opens up additional perspectives, but also strengthens the existing services and service offerings for existing customers.

‘The merger with Manos Holding offers us long-term security and the opportunity to draw on proven structures and systems within the group,’ explains Marcel Schettler, founder and former Managing Director of GuestONE. ‘In particular, access to modern ticketing systems and new contacts in the sports and entertainment industry creates exciting opportunities for future projects, while we can continue to rely on our established expertise.’

GuestONE has been a reliable partner in attendee management for over 20 years. With currently 17 employees, 80 to 100 projects are realised annually for event agencies, medium-sized companies, associations and DAX-listed corporations.

By integrating into Manos Holding, GuestONE can not only expand its existing range of services, but also utilise new synergies in the event industry. At the same time, the companies in the holding company will benefit from GuestONE’s comprehensive expertise in the areas of participant management and accreditation. Volker Messmann (Managing Director) and Rouven Lakowitz (Authorised Signatory) will take over the new management of GuestONE, while the entire team around the founders Marcel Schettler and Thomas Küfner will remain on board.

‘GuestONE is a valuable addition to our group of companies,’ says Volker Messmann, Managing Director of LMS Sport GmbH and new Managing Director of GuestONE. ‘The collaboration enables us to jointly develop new approaches and solutions for customers in the event, sports and entertainment industry. At the same time, GuestONE remains independent and flexible in its core competences.’

With the security of a stable corporate structure and the utilisation of new resources, GuestONE is optimistic about the future. The team is looking forward to successfully realising projects for its customers in the new constellation.
