The Association of German Amusement Parks and Leisure Companies (VDFU) is one of Germany's central organizations for operators of amusement parks, entertainment venues, and indoor attractions. Since its founding in 1978, the association has united leisure businesses from across Germany and neighboring regions with the goal of representing the interests of the leisure industry and promoting sustainable growth.
Today, VDFU counts over 120 members from amusement parks, entertainment venues, and indoor attractions, as well as around 180 companies from related sectors, including service providers, suppliers, and consulting firms. Together, they work to make Germany's leisure offerings future-proof and attractive.
VDFU has established itself not only as the industry's voice but also as a facilitator of exchange among its members through numerous initiatives and events. This includes:
In a time when energy consumption and sustainability play a central role across industries, the partnership with ESO Elektronische Stromoptimierung is a strategic move. ESO offers technology for dynamic energy resource management, enabling leisure companies to reduce their energy costs by an average of 8-12%—a significant saving, especially for high-energy-demand businesses like amusement parks.
As a VDFU partner, ESO provides its members with a solution that not only reduces energy consumption but also increases operational stability. This is particularly relevant for amusement parks that require a reliable energy supply to ensure smooth operations. ESO provides full support, from initial analysis to implementation.
Through the partnership with ESO, VDFU members can benefit from the following advantages:
The collaboration between VDFU and ESO highlights the shared goals of both partners: a sustainable, innovative, and economically stable leisure industry. By combining expertise and resources, VDFU members can enhance their competitiveness while simultaneously reducing their ecological footprint.
This partnership demonstrates that innovation and efficiency go hand in hand in the modern leisure industry, and that VDFU not only provides its members with a network but also access to future-oriented technologies.
The partnership between VDFU and ESO is more than a conventional business relationship. It is an example of combining vision, efficiency, and sustainability. Together, the association and ESO are committed to making the leisure industry future-ready and environmentally friendly. For VDFU members, this means greater economic efficiency, improved energy supply, and the opportunity to actively integrate sustainability into their operations.
