Mammut Sports Group AG
Excellent photo productions for premium products
Mammut, one of the world’s leading brands in the outdoor and mountaineering industry, not only demands the highest standards for the clothing and equipment developed by the company, but also for the presentation and communication of its products. For photographing product images and handling the complex production, Mammut relies on the expertise of our partners, ansichtsache ag and Bildfactory.
Previously, multiple service providers were involved in the photo production process, resulting in low transparency and a high need for coordination. Over the years, the product portfolio has continuously grown, and complexity has increased due to market conditions, international supply chains, or production adjustments. Today, ansichtsache primarily manages the entire product image creation process for the international online shop, handling several hundred items per season – reliably, affordably, on time, and with top quality.

Numerous Advantages
Best quality and many years of experience
Mammut has trusted ansichtsache’s expertise since 2014, placing a high value on top quality, reliable collaboration, and a deep understanding of processes and requirements. Since the start of the collaboration, quality, speed, and cost have been impressive.
ansichtsache has not only consolidated the previously fragmented image production for various digital channels but also ensured the much-needed transparency throughout the entire production process. Today, Mammut always knows the status and location of each of the over 800 products in a production cycle.
Solutions for complex requirements
We are creative professionals with a passion for detail and extensive experience. Our approach is based on quality, individuality, and customer proximity. We have the experts and technology to handle the entire production process, providing our clients with professional, tailor-made quality every time.
Efficient and transparent production
A large number of items, delays, changes, different product combinations, and staggered shooting schedules: we handle this complexity with experience, a precise understanding of Mammut’s processes, and a custom-developed product handling software. We manage logistics, oversee production, deliver perfectly processed images in top quality, and ensure full transparency at all times.
Top-quality photography
We produce thousands of photos for Mammut every year: for two collections per year, with up to 16 photos per item. A style guide, developed in collaboration with Mammut, specifies the required ghost images, detail shots, and model photos for each product. Product images, Hollowman shots, and model photography are done at our Urdorf studios. Each item goes through various stages and studios for staggered shots to meet all production demands.
Professional post-production
The staggered production is also a challenge for image editing: no matter when in the process the photo was taken, once all images are ready, they are matched and aligned with the original. This ensures that fabric and color appear consistent across all images, whether they are model shots, ghost images, or detail shots.

Development with experience and innovation
To meet all demands precisely, we have closely collaborated with Mammut since 2014. From the start, we not only impressed with our photography and successful test runs but also by showcasing future prospects and offering an efficient, well-thought-out organization from start to finish. It was clear to us that the demands would continue to evolve. And they have.
New products, brand design updates, style changes, production adjustments at Mammut, or new technologies consistently bring new challenges and opportunities. Over time, we have successfully adapted to many changes, developing solutions together. Changes, optimizations, and the integration of new technology are continuously discussed and tested.
We always implement new solutions in close collaboration with Mammut. It is important for us to have knowledgeable contacts available at all times, and we share a common focus on quality and reliability, as well as a commitment to our customers, for whom we do our best every day.
