Exhibition stands by industry
A packaging machine and a wedding dress are not shown on the same stand: the weight of the product, how long a visitor stays and the way samples are handled change the design from the start. Pick your industry to see our work and what we watch for there.

What changes on the stand from one industry to another
At machinery and automation fairs the product is heavy and running: floor loading, electrical load and safety clearance are where the design starts. At food and packaging fairs a counter, a water connection and cooling are needed for tasting and samples. At textile and fashion fairs the product hangs or stands on a mannequin; lighting colour temperature and a fitting cabin come to the fore.
At defence and medical fairs the meeting area must be enclosed and quiet; part of the product sits in a locked case. At construction and building material fairs the product is shown large and in section, and visitors want to touch it. Each industry page describes the work we have done in that field and how these decisions take shape on the stand.
If your industry is not listed
The list covers the industries where we have published work. If yours is not here we still build your stand with the same process: tell us your product and floor area and we send the first concept free of charge.
