Exhibition stand builder at Koelnmesse

The two fairs our clients care about most

imm cologne is where the European furniture trade sets its year, and spoga+gafa is the same for garden and outdoor living. Both are the natural next step for a manufacturer already exhibiting at İstanbul Furniture Fair or IMOB — the product is ready, the question is only whether the stand can be delivered to Cologne at a sensible cost.

It can. A modular or Maxima build packs flat, which keeps freight proportionate on a European plot, and a timber build still makes sense once the plot is large enough that the architecture is doing real work. Which of those applies to you depends on your plot, and we will say plainly which one we would choose.

Getting a stand from Istanbul to Köln

The stand is designed and produced in our own workshop in Istanbul, trial-assembled there, then crated and freighted. What crosses the border is a finished stand rather than a team with tools, which is the whole economic argument: you buy Turkish production and pay freight instead of buying local production at local rates.

Freight, customs clearance and the return leg are priced together with the stand, not added afterwards. For an EU fair the clearance route is settled before production starts, because it fixes the shipping date and the shipping date fixes the production deadline.

• Design, 3D visual and production in Istanbul
• Freight and customs planned as part of the quote
• Installation on site by our own crew, inside the official build-up window
• Dismantling, return transport and storage for the next edition

What the hall regulations actually require

German venues publish binding technical guidelines, and the point most foreign exhibitors get wrong is not that outside contractors are banned — they are not — but that some work is reserved. The connection from the stand to the hall's power network is made exclusively by the venue's own authorised electrical company, and the stand's internal wiring has to comply with VDE/DIN standards before it is energised.

None of that prevents us from building. It simply has to be ordered, scheduled and drawn in advance, which is why we read the current technical guidelines for your hall before the design is frozen rather than after the panels are cut.

• Hall power connection: venue's authorised electrical company only
• Stand wiring: VDE/DIN compliant, inspected before energising
• Multi-storey stands and heavy suspensions: approval required
• Stand approval file (height, load, structure) prepared by us
