Stand Builder in Düssel

When time, budget clarity and a fast decision process matter, EXPRESS Booth is usually the right fit. For custom architecture, larger floor areas and stronger brand staging, EXFAIR is the better path.

EXPRESS Booth fits when a Messe Düsseldorf presence should be delivered fast, with clear pricing and low coordination effort. It works especially well when clear packages, short paths and an efficient stand structure matter more than maximum customization.

EXFAIR is the better choice when the stand should be planned strategically: custom architecture, brand impact, visitor flow, product staging and a solution tailored more tightly to brand and conversations.

Helpful inputs are the goal of the presence, planned floor area, timing, desired impact, existing graphics or systems, technical requirements and whether you're leaning toward a fast fixed-price path or a custom brand space.

Main factors are floor area, level of customization, graphics, technology, logistics, setup, dismantling, on-site support and the potential to reuse existing elements. As a benchmark, EXPRESS stands start at €5,999 net rental price per show (companies based outside Germany pay no German VAT), including set-up, dismantling, wall graphics and flooring. Custom EXFAIR brand spaces are quoted per project because these factors combine differently each time.

Yes. We cover design, technical implementation, graphic production, logistics and the actual coordination around the Düsseldorf presence, so internal coordination for marketing, sales and project leads stays low.

At Messe Düsseldorf, six leading trade fairs shape the calendar: K (Plastics & rubber industry, every three years); MEDICA (Medical technology & healthcare, annual); interpack (Packaging technology & process industry, every three years); boot (Water sports & boatbuilding, annual); wire & Tube (Wire, cable & tube industry, every two years); ProWein (Wine & spirits, annual). The next confirmed dates are listed in the trade fair calendar on this page, with details on each fair in the section Leading trade fairs in detail.

K is held every three years. The next edition runs from 18 to 25 October 2028. A custom EXFAIR brand space needs 2 to 12 months of lead time for concept, 3D planning and production, so for this edition the brief should arrive by 18 Aug 2028 at the latest. An EXPRESS stand needs 2 to 8 weeks (by 4 Oct 2028 at the latest): quote within 24 hours, set-up in one day.

At K and interpack, each with several thousand exhibitors, the competition for attention is intense, visibility from a distance and a clear separation of reception, exhibit and meeting areas matter more than floor space alone. If you exhibit only every three years, plan for reusable components from the start. The venue has 17 halls with 262,727 m² of hall space and 43,000 m² of outdoor area. Düsseldorf Airport is around three kilometres from the exhibition grounds; light rail lines U78/U79 run from the main station and Heinrich-Heine-Allee to the North and East entrances, and the U80 links the airport with the East entrance. According to the technical guidelines of Messe Düsseldorf (version September 2025, valid from 2026): Rigging: Up to 50 kg per ceiling point. Fixings are installed only by Messe Düsseldorf, ordered through the online order system. Deliveries: Entry with a permit only. Unloading only with forklifts or cranes of the contracted forwarders; own equipment is prohibited. Vehicle height at most 4.00 m. The technical guidelines of Messe Düsseldorf are binding: hall heights, floor loads, rigging and delivery windows come from those documents and are checked per project before the stand is planned.

According to the technical guidelines of Messe Düsseldorf (version September 2025, valid from 2026): Stand height: Between 3.00 and 8.00 m depending on the hall, e.g. 8.00 m in halls 1, 8A/8B and 15 to 17, 6.00 m in halls 3 to 5 and 9 to 14. At most 3.20 m along hall walls. Approval: Single-storey hall stands need no plans. All other structures, mobile stands and special builds: dimensioned plans 6 weeks before build-up at the latest, two-storey stands with structural calculations. Individual fairs may differ; the documents of the specific fair are binding. We check the rules for every project before the stand is planned.

With EXPRESS you rent a complete exhibition stand for K or any other fair at Messe Düsseldorf: stand system, fabric banners, lighting, carpet, setup and dismantling, storage room and project management are included in the rental price per show, covering the whole show from setup to dismantling. Prices start at €5,999 net for 9 to 16 m² (M with 18 to 25 m² from €7,999, L with 25 to 36 m² from €10,999). Plus logistics costs for transport and delivery.

For more than 36 m² or a custom design, EXFAIR plans the stand to measure.
