From Milan to New York, Superstudio is shifting up a gear. The Italian group specialising in events and production announced on Monday the acquisition of a majority stake in Spring Studios New York LLC, operator of the vast Tribeca events complex. The deal marks the first step in its international expansion, with the stated ambition of building a network of 10 to 15 venues in major global cities over the next five years.

Located in the heart of Tribeca, Spring Studios New York spans some 12,000 square metres and, since 2015, has hosted fashion shows, photo shoots, product launches, conferences, exhibitions and private events. Notable highlights include events associated with New York Fashion Week, the Tribeca Film Festival, and the Independent Art Fair.
The transaction covers Spring’s New York event operations and the running of the Tribeca site. It does not include the Spring Studios brand; the group’s creative, content and event production activities in the United States and Europe; its other divisions; or Spring Place, the private members’ club, restaurant, and co-working space located in the same building. Superstudio is assuming immediate operational control of the New York business, whilst the agreement also provides for the subsequent acquisition of the remaining minority stake.
This acquisition marks a new milestone in Superstudio’s development, at a time when brands are allocating an increasing share of their budgets to physical and immersive experiences. The Milan-based group aims to meet growing demand from luxury houses, corporations, and technology firms for venues that unite event delivery, production, and content creation.
Founded as a hub for professional photography, Superstudio has steadily diversified to become a leading player in Milan’s events scene, particularly in fashion and design. The group now operates four venues in the Lombard capital, totalling more than 40,000 square metres, and hosts over 200 international events while welcoming upwards of 800,000 visitors each year.
This growth has accelerated over the past two years. In 2025, Superstudio acquired Audiolux, an Italian specialist in audio, video, and lighting services, followed in 2026 by Ephoto, a Milan-based company specialising in the production of visual content for the fashion and luxury sectors. The group reports generating $45 million in turnover in 2025, up 95% year on year, whilst its annualised turnover now stands at $75 million, with EBITDA exceeding $20 million.
“The acquisition of Spring Studios New York LLC realises a global ambition years in the making,” said Tommaso Borioli, CEO of Superstudio Events, in a statement. “New York is our international home base. From this iconic base, we intend to roll out our integrated, world-class events model across the world’s most influential cultural and financial capitals.”
Superstudio therefore plans to add 10 to 15 prestigious venues to its network over the next five years. The group is targeting annual turnover of approximately $240 million by that time.
For Spring Studios, the deal should enable the New York site to retain its teams and client relationships whilst benefiting from enhanced operational capabilities and resources. “Superstudio is the ideal partner and operator to ensure the growth of this business,” said Navin Khattar, chairman of Spring Media Investments, the parent company of Spring Studios.
