We make German trade fairs simple for Scandinavian companies
Our own Norwegian team on site
We send our own people from Norway to the venue. You get the same team that builds stands at home, just at a different address. No unknown subcontractors.
German venue regulations
German trade fair halls have strict fire safety, structural and electrical requirements. We know the regulations in Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Berlin, and ensure your stand is approved without delays.
Scandinavian design, German precision
We combine Scandinavian design language with the quality German venues expect. The result: stands that stand out in the right way.
Fixed price, no surprises
You get a fixed price after briefing. No extra invoices, no hidden costs. We specify everything upfront, including travel and accommodation.
All European companies
We work with Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and European companies. Communication in your language, invoicing in NOK, SEK, DKK or EUR.
Short travel, fast response
Frankfurt is 2 hours away by air. We can be on site within a day if needed. That gives you flexibility you won't get with suppliers further away.
HAV Group at SMM Hamburg 2024
In September 2024 we built an exhibition stand for HAV Group at SMM in Hamburg. The stand was designed and produced in Norway, transported to Hamburg Messe and assembled by our own team. The result: a large-scale stand with illuminated HAV logos, teal blue walls with ocean imagery, meeting zones with Scandinavian furniture and dedicated areas for HAV Hydrogen, HAV Design and HAV Group's services. The stand stood out clearly at the world's largest maritime trade fair.
The biggest trade fairs in Germany
Germany hosts several of the world's largest industry trade fairs. With trade fair cities like Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Berlin, the country is a natural hub for Nordic and European companies looking to reach an international audience.
