Exhibition stand builders in Izmir

Working with us for a fair in Izmir means the stand is produced in Istanbul and arrives in Izmir ready to build. We produce it in our Beylikdüzü workshop, assemble it once with a lighting test before it ships, bring it to Izmir by road and build it in the hall with our own crew. What remains on your side is bringing your products and your team; we walk the stand together the day before opening.

What we do at Izmir fairs

The fair name, dates, floor area and number of open sides come in; within 48 hours we send the first concept as a three-dimensional visual, free of charge. After approval we submit the technical file to the organiser, handle graphics and print and draw the electrical and lighting plan. The hall's height limit, rigging rule and build hours arrive with the organiser's file; we read the file and draw the stand to match.

We work with food and beverage, agriculture, machinery, textile and furniture companies, and the industry pages list which fairs we have built at: food and beverage, agriculture, machinery and industry. To date we have delivered close to 400 projects and built more than 25,000 square metres, all on the projects page with photographs. The stands we build at Tüyap and CNR Expo are on the Istanbul page; the same stand travels to Izmir.

Exhibitors from outside Turkey get the same service in Izmir: one contract, one contact in English, our crew in the hall for the build and the dismantling.

Freight from Istanbul and the build schedule

A comfortable programme starts 8 weeks before the fair: design approval and technical file at 6 weeks, workshop production and print files at 4 weeks, trial assembly and shipping at 1 week. The freight day goes into the schedule, and the build crew is in Izmir on the same day as the truck. When the fair closes we dismantle the stand and take it back. Your products can travel on the same truck; the details are on the exhibition logistics page. If a job comes in later we first tell you what can still be done, then run an accelerated programme.

Which stand type for Izmir

  • Custom timber build: 20–500 square metres, 2–5 days to build in the hall. For heavy products and an uninterrupted surface; the freight volume is larger, so we start 8 weeks ahead.
  • Maxima system: 12–200 square metres, 1–3 days to build. Small freight volume over a long road; our first suggestion when the calendar is tight.
  • Modular stand: 9–150 square metres, 1–2 days to build; for small plots and short fairs.

If you are undecided we draw both types for the same plot and show them side by side.

Fuar İzmir and the İzmir fair year

İzmir is Türkiye's second largest fair city: in TOBB's 2026 fair calendar it follows Istanbul's 155 fairs with 25 of its own. The centre is Fuar İzmir in Gaziemir, a few minutes from the airport; the halls are single-storey with wide doors, and truck access and ramp layout are easier than at the Istanbul venues.

The Ministry of Trade's domestic support list dated 30 September 2026 holds five İzmir fairs: İF Wedding Fashion İzmir (20–22 January 2026), Agroexpo (3–7 February), MARBLE, the international natural stone and technologies fair (14–17 April), Gurme İzmir–Olivtech (30 April–2 May) and Future Fish Eurasia (24–26 September). Exporters' association members exhibiting at these fairs can recover part of the space rental and stand expense; the conditions are in state support for domestic fairs.

The 2027 edition dates are fixed as the organiser and the TOBB calendar publish them; MARBLE and Agroexpo are held in the same months every year. We keep the dated list current on our İzmir page.

From Istanbul to İzmir: production and build calendar

We produce the stand in our workshop in Beylikdüzü, Istanbul; timber stands are fully assembled and checked in the workshop, then dismantled and shipped, while on system stands profiles are cut to size and numbered. For İzmir the vehicle leaves the day before build-up and the crew is at Fuar İzmir on build morning. A missing or damaged part cannot be replaced the same day as in Istanbul, so on İzmir projects spare parts and spare graphics travel in the vehicle.

We build the calendar backwards: the design freezes six weeks before the fair, production starts four weeks before, the stand is checked in the workshop a week before. At fairs with heavy exhibits such as MARBLE, floor load and forklift path enter the drawing from the first day; for natural stone blocks the organiser's floor capacity figure is obtained. The process is described step by step on our exhibition stand services page.

The build window at Fuar İzmir usually opens two days before opening; we submit the organiser's stand approval drawing, the electrical load declaration and the engineer's approval where needed. The general framework of the rules is in venue rules and stand approval.

Which stand type for an İzmir fair

We take three types to İzmir. The system stand (maxima profile) builds in a day on plots of 12–36 square metres and travels to İzmir in a single vehicle; it is the most frequently chosen type at high-exhibitor fairs such as Agroexpo and Olivtech. The modular stand suits panel and lightbox layouts. Custom timber is preferred for corner and island plots at fairs like MARBLE where brand differentiation matters; part size is set by the vehicle.

Which type fits which plot is compared on the stand types page. Price depends on square metres and type; if your plot size and fair date are known, we send an itemised quote within two business days.

When requesting a quote for your İzmir fair, give the plot number, the number of open sides and the weight of the products to be shown; on İzmir projects freight and the spare parts plan are included in the quote.

What determines the price

Our quote lists the scope item by item; we take a brief before quoting, because two stands of the same size can differ a lot.

  • Floor area and the number of open sides
  • Stand type: custom timber or maxima system
  • Height, suspended ceiling and rigging needs
  • Fittings such as lighting, screens and furniture
  • Venue rules and build hours
  • Dispatch from the workshop to the hall

Frequently asked

When should a stand for Izmir be ordered?
At least eight weeks before the fair for a custom timber stand, four weeks for a maxima system stand; for builds abroad we add a week for freight and customs.
What determines the price?
Floor area, stand type, number of open sides, height, fittings and venue rules. The quote lists the scope item by item; we take a brief before quoting.
How many days before the fair does the truck leave?
We calculate it from the hall's build start; the stand is loaded after the trial assembly and the build crew is in Izmir on the same day. The dates are written into the schedule that comes with the quote.
Who builds and dismantles the stand?
Our own crew. During the fair you reach us by phone; at the close the dismantling is ours and you collect your products and leave.
Can you put a heavy product or a running machine on the stand?
Yes. Give us the weight and dimensions in the quote request; we draw the floor load, the plinth and the power supply in the first step of the design and obtain the approval from the hall management.
What should we send for a quote?
The fair name and dates, the floor area in square metres and the number of open sides, plus a floor plan if you have one. Put it into the quote form; the first concept is free, the budget frame comes in three options and the scope is written item by item.
Do you have a local crew in İzmir?
Our own crew travelling from Istanbul does the build; the stand leaves a day earlier. The crew is at Fuar İzmir for the build period and at the end of the line throughout the fair.
Are İzmir fairs covered by support?
The 2026 list holds five İzmir fairs: İF Wedding, Agroexpo, MARBLE, Olivtech and Future Fish Eurasia. The list is updated during the year; check your fair's row on the Ministry page before signing.
How early should we start before build-up?
Six weeks is a comfortable calendar; down to three weeks a system stand still makes it. At fairs where plots sell out early, such as MARBLE, the space contract is signed a year ahead.

Let us build your stand at your fair in Izmir

Send the fair name, dates and your floor area; the first concept and a written budget frame arrive within a few working days. The concept is free of charge.
