Why choose us

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.

Case Study

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.

Process

How we work in Germany

Everything is designed and produced in Norway. Then our team travels to Germany with materials and equipment. You have one point of contact throughout.

01

Briefing and concept

We map out goals, budget and exhibition choice. You receive a design proposal with 3D visualisation within one week.

02

Design and approval

The design is adapted to venue specifications and German regulations. You approve the final design, materials and colours.

03

Production in Norway

The stand is produced and prepared at our workshop in Sandnes. We quality-check everything before packing for transport.

04

Transport to Germany

We transport materials and equipment to the venue by our own vehicle or freight partner. Everything arrives well ahead of assembly.

05

Assembly with Norwegian team

Our Norwegian team travels to Germany and assembles the stand on site. We quality-check every element and ensure everything is ready for opening.

06

Dismantling and return

After the show we dismantle the stand and return materials to Norway. Reusable elements are stored for your next exhibition.
