Experience that shows.
Practical backgrounds in animatronics, show control, lighting and effects inform the tools we build and the support we provide.
We lived the industry.
Then built tools to serve it.
Manfred Weigl and Mike Blasko brought together backgrounds in show control, theatrical lighting, animatronics programming, electronics and special effects. Their shared goal was to create better tools for themed entertainment by bringing art and technology together.
Today, Weigl Works, LLC in the Cleveland, Ohio area and Weigl GmbH & Co KG in Austria combine hardware development, software, operations, documentation and customer support to help turn creative visions into working experiences.
