We design and build award-winning exhibition stands.
Since 2006, we have delivered projects for brands from around the world at trade shows across Europe and beyond.
Our services cover exhibition stand design, technical planning, production, logistics, installation and dismantling. Depending on the project, we can manage the entire process or build a stand based on a design supplied by the client or agency.
Everything needed to take an exhibition stand from the first idea to the finished space on the show floor. 😉
We start by reviewing your requirements, brief and objectives for the event. From there, our designers develop the creative direction, visual concept and stand design.
We also consider how the space will function during the event, how visitors will move through it, how visible the brand will be and what the team working on the stand will need.
Our services include:
Our own production facilities, warehouse and technical infrastructure allow us to manage the project in one place. This gives us direct control over production quality, schedules and changes introduced during the process.
Yes.
If you already have a finished design, we can take care of production and installation.
Our technical team reviews the documentation, suggests any necessary optimisations and prepares the project for production and on-site construction.
We regularly work with brands and agencies that provide their own concepts and need an experienced exhibition stand contractor to turn them into finished spaces.
Yes.
You can find a selection of our projects at https://smartdesign-expo.com/en/portfolio-2/
You can also download our portfolio in PDF format directly from the website or request it by email.
If you cannot find a project from your industry or from the trade show you are planning to attend, contact us. We do not publish every project we have completed in our portfolio. 😉
Yes.
We work at trade shows throughout Europe and worldwide, including:
As members of IFES and ESSA, we work according to international industry standards.
Our location in Poland also allows us to efficiently manage projects across many of Europe’s largest exhibition centres.
This structure keeps the entire exhibition stand design and build process clear, from the first technical review to the finished stand.
It depends on the type of exhibition stand you need.
The cost is influenced by factors including:
Tell us your budget and we can assess which design and technical solutions can be delivered within it.
A custom-built exhibition stand is always priced individually because the final cost depends on its size, design and technical requirements.
Our focus is on design and an experienced team that stays involved from concept to installation.
Our strengths include:
For clients looking for exhibition stand builders, having design, technical expertise and production within one company makes the process easier to coordinate.
It is never too early to start planning. 😉
We recommend contacting us at least 6–8 months before the event.
This provides enough time for planning, consultations, production and installation.
If your deadline is shorter, contact us anyway. We plan our production well in advance, but available slots occasionally appear. Capacity also depends on the time of year.
For larger or more bespoke exhibition stands, starting earlier gives the design and technical teams more time to work through approvals, materials and production details.
Yes. We have experience in designing and building large-scale exhibition stands.
We deliver projects of 1000 m² as well as 3000 m², 6000 m² and larger.
Our partners and clients also choose us for technically and organisationally demanding large-scale projects.
Our production facilities and technical team allow us to manage both the manufacturing and construction of stands of this size.
Yes.
Every project is assigned a Project Manager and a Technical Manager / Designer.
They coordinate and supervise the work connected with your project and stay involved throughout the entire process of creating your exhibition stand.
Yes.
We have worked with clients on recurring events and trade show programmes for years.
If you are planning several events or a longer exhibition programme, we can coordinate individual projects and adapt the design to different venues and stand spaces.
This can also include a series of custom exhibition stands based on one visual direction while adjusting each version to the requirements of a particular event.
We design and build exhibition stands for companies from many industries, including:
This is only a selection of the industries we regularly work with.
If you would like to know whether we have already completed projects for your industry, contact us.
A brief is a short questionnaire containing the main information about your requirements and objectives.
At the beginning of the design process, we ask you to complete our project brief.
It covers areas such as:
The more information you provide, the more accurately we can tailor the design and quotation to your requirements.
Yes.
We prepare technical documentation, submit the required documents to the organiser, coordinate approvals and check that the project complies with the venue regulations and fire safety requirements applicable in the respective country.
Our technical team also stays in contact with the organiser when issues relating to construction, utilities or documentation need to be resolved.
We select materials based on durability, appearance, technical requirements and the fire safety regulations of the relevant exhibition venue.
We use:
The final selection depends on the design, structure and technical requirements of each project.
Because we manufacture stands in our own production facility, we can also create individual architectural, structural and furniture elements for bespoke projects.
Yes.
We have our own furniture and lighting resources.
We also supply equipment for back-of-house and service areas, including refrigerators and coffee machines.
Many elements, such as counters, decorations and product displays, can be manufactured specifically for the project or purchased for the client.
We can also produce custom-made furniture.
Partly yes, but usually not in its entirety.
Our exhibition stands are designed for a specific floor space and its technical conditions.
Individual elements such as:
can be used again at future events.
For our clients, we can store these elements and refurbish them when required so that they are ready for their next use.
When we know from the beginning that a brand plans to attend several events, we can also take reuse into account during the stand design process.
The fastest ways are:
If you already know the trade show, stand size and planned budget, you can include this information in your first message.
It is also helpful to tell us whether you need a new trade show stand design or already have a concept that is ready for production.
