Klutch Productions is an Auckland-based Event crewing and equipment hire company specialising in the reliable delivery of labour for live events, corporate functions, and AV productions of all scales.
Our crew has expertise across audio, lighting, video, staging, rigging, and general event labour, and experience in fast-paced environments such as pack-ins, pack-outs, Stage-patch, changeovers and Live show operations.
Klutch operates on a simple principle: Make it easy, and make it reliable. That means you can expect clear communication, accurate scheduling, dependable attendance, and crews who understand the expectations of top-tier event clients. We prioritise safety, practical problem-solving, and the ability to integrate seamlessly with in-house teams and external contractors. This way you can focus on delivering your events rather than managing labour.
As the company expands, our goal remains the same: provide crew that clients can depend on, and maintain the level of Quality and consistency that makes Klutch a preferred partner in the Auckland events landscape.
“NW Group/Oceania have been using Klutch Productions as our go to crewing company for over 3 years now and I can say that they feel more like a partner than a supplier. As the people that run Klutch are very much hands on and work hard themselves, they know what is expected of their crew on site, and understand that they need to be reliable, on time and easy to work with—exactly what we want in our industry. They believe in ongoing training and building up the crew’s skill sets so that they can continue to develop and grow as they build up their experience. I can highly recommend Klutch Productions to other Production companies.”
– James Mackenzie, General Manager Oceania/N.W Group
“Klutch have been a much-needed addition to the events industry and have been invaluable to our teams and events. We have them join our technicians on a weekly basis across our portfolio of venues including Aotea Centre and Square, The Town Hall, The Mighty Civic, Bruce Mason Centre, Viaduct Events Centre and Queens Wharf. They are professional and quick to learn in our fast-paced environment and we highly recommend them if you need crew.”

“Huge shoutout to Liam and the Klutch crew. They’ve truly lived up to their name for us on plenty of gigs, always delivering friendly and skilled staff without breaking the budget. Their ability to troubleshoot on the fly and stay responsive to change is hard to beat. Highly recommended for anyone needing dependable crewing.”
– Rowan McShane, Project Manager, Grouse Lighting Aotearoa.
“We’ve been working with Klutch on our events and activations for over two years now, from boutique festivals to large markets. The team is knowledgeable, reliable, and highly professional with a great can-do attitude. Their experience enables them to quickly assess what needs to be done, often anticipating next steps and jumping in seamlessly after a quick check-in. Klutch has become a valuable extension of our team, and we highly recommend working with them.”
-Jamie Newman, Director, Interesting Things
“Klutch is a spectacular group of driven, enthusiastic, pragmatic and dynamic legends who are flying the flag for production crewing in Aotearoa with more grit, dedication and hardness than anyone else in the game right now. Time and time again, they push themselves to the limit with timeliness, endurance and gusto, all with a smile on their face. I cannot think of a group of absolute legends I would rather depend on for getting shows delivered in time, with immaculate attention to detail and beyond. I know that these lads have my (and your) back like their lives depend on it. As rock solid as If they were helping out their own whanau. Values-driven and ethic-harded, they absolutely cannot be beat.”
– Fluffy, Owner of Deepend Audio
“Klutch is a great group of people who are always looking for ways to solve a problem. They were a huge help during the filming of our music video and we always feel more secure when they are part of a gig. We highly recommend working with them if you get the chance!”
