SGPS/ShowRig, Inc. Promotes Benjamin Lampman To VP Of Touring 

SGPS/ShowRig, Inc. has promoted Benjamin Lampman to Vice President of Touring, the company specializing in rigging, staging, and live production automation announced March 18.
Lampman previously served as the General Manager and Sales Lead for the company’s Las Vegas operations and will now oversee the strategic direction and execution of the company’s premier touring division across its seven U.S. locations.

As part of his new role Lampman will “work closely with SGPS/ShowRig’s automation and engineering teams to integrate Raynok motion control systems into large-scale touring productions and will leverage these expanded technical capabilities to deliver integrated, high-performance solutions for the world’s largest concert tours and live events.”

Today’s announcement notes that SGPS/ShowRig has been experiencing a milestone period including December’s acquisition of Niscon Inc. and the January 2026 appointment of Joseph Jeremy as Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

“Touring productions today demand engineering precision, reliability, and systems that can perform night after night in challenging environments,” Lampman said in a statement. “By integrating SGPS/ShowRig’s engineering, technical design, fabrication, rigging, and automation capabilities, we’re able to support designers and production teams with solutions that are built to travel, built to perform, and built to scale for the largest live events in the world.”

Ned Collett, President of SGPS/ShowRig, added: “Ben’s promotion is a key component of our long-term growth strategy. His track record of managing complex, large-scale projects, from Broadway to global stadium tours, along with his experience delivering highly customized fabrication solutions, makes him the ideal leader to head our touring division as we continue to expand our capabilities in automation, rigging, and fabrication.”

Lampman has over 25 years of experience in the scenic and entertainment industries. Prior to joining SGPS/ShowRig in 2019, he served as Director of Projects at Production Resource Group (PRG) and he’s also worked at the Long Wharf Theatre and Manhattan Theatre Club, as well as contributing his expertise to projects for The Public Theater, Hudson Scenic Studios, and Global Scenic Services.

During his time at SGPS/ShowRig he’s been involved with projects for blink-182, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and the automation installation at LIV Nightclub at Fontainebleau Las Vegas. His resume also includes working on major tours such as Queen + Adam Lambert, as well as high-profile Broadway productions including “Moulin Rouge.”
