A stand builder and manufacturer for your Lyon trade shows: 3D design, manufacturing in our own workshop and installation at Eurexpo and every Lyon venue. One single point of contact, from brief to dismantling.
Quote within 48 hours · Fixed-rate transport to Lyon · Installation by our own teams
Lyon hosts world-class trade shows: SIRHA, Pollutec, Global Industrie. Huge halls, international exhibitors, strict build-up rules. Here is what catches exhibitors out.
At SIRHA or Global Industrie, your aisle neighbours come from all over the world with spectacular stands. A standard stand simply disappears.
Build-up slots, heavy goods access in Chassieu, badges, height limits: a contractor discovering the venue wastes precious hours.
Many agencies design then outsource the manufacturing. The result: delays you cannot control, inconsistent quality, diluted responsibilities.
TheStandExperts is a stand builder and manufacturer: design office, workshop and installation teams all in-house. Your Lyon stand is designed and built in our workshop, pre-assembled, checked, then transported and installed at Eurexpo by the very team that built it. No subcontracting, no inconsistent quality: that is the difference between an agency that draws and a manufacturer of exhibition stands.
We design and build every format: custom exhibition stand, modular stand, double-decker stand and event stand.
“Our clients exhibit in Paris, Lyon and Marseille. Same stand, same team, same quality: we follow your trade shows, so you don't have to chase contractors.”
François Sire
Founder of TheStandExperts, exhibition stand builder for 20 years
One single package, turnkey from the first call to storage, Lyon transport included. Here is everything that comes with it, in the order it happens.
You only have one thing to do: tell us what you want.
The rest, design, manufacturing, transport, installation, organiser’s file, dismantling, storage, is on us.
Eurexpo hosts Lyon’s biggest trade shows, but Lyon also exhibits in the city centre. We install your stands at every Lyon trade show, each project prepared to the venue’s specifications.
| Venue | Location | Typical trade shows |
|---|---|---|
| Eurexpo Lyon | Chassieu, on the edge of Lyon | France's 2nd largest exhibition centre: SIRHA, Pollutec, Global Industrie, Eurobois, BePositive, Piscine Global |

We also install your stands at Lyon event venues outside the exhibition centres: hotels, museums, pop-up venues from the Presqu'île to Confluence.
Four questions to identify the right format for your venue, surface area and budget. No personal data required.
4 questions, a recommendation tailored to your trade show and budget

Indicative ranges for a Lyon trade show, excluding floor space rental. Transport from our workshop and Eurexpo logistics are included at a fixed rate in the quote, with no surprises.
Designed, built and pre-assembled in our workshop: by the time it reaches Eurexpo, your stand has already been assembled once. Zero nasty surprises.
Lyon in March, Paris in September: the same stand follows you from city to city, stored and reconfigured by our teams between editions.
Reusing the same stand at every trade show means fewer sets ending up in a skip: a genuine, measurable CSR approach.
From the brief to dismantling in Chassieu, you talk to the same team. No agency that designs, manufacturer that executes and installer who discovers the project.
Distance is only a problem when it is not prepared for. Here is how your stand arrives on time, complete and already tested at your Lyon trade show. Not booked your floor space yet? Here is how to choose the best location.

Yes, provided the logistics are prepared: your stand is fully pre-assembled and checked in our workshop before departure, transport is scheduled around Eurexpo’s build-up slots and our teams stay on site during installation and opening. Responsiveness comes from preparation, not from the postcode: a stand tested in the workshop causes fewer problems than one assembled for the first time on site.
Expect €300 to €500 per sqm for a modular stand, €600 to €1,500 for a custom stand and €1,000 to €2,000 per sqm of total floor area for a double-decker stand. Transport from our workshop is included at a fixed rate in the quote: no mileage surprises. The format drives the budget, not the city.
Allow 1 to 2 months for a modular stand and 2 to 6 months for a custom or double-decker stand. Eurexpo’s biggest trade shows (SIRHA, Pollutec, Global Industrie) require a technical file to be submitted to the organiser several weeks before opening: the earlier you start, the more refined the design.
Yes, entirely, and with the same teams that built your stand: transport, build-up slots, badges and heavy goods access in Chassieu, installation, then dismantling within the imposed deadlines and return transport. You have no logistics to manage.
Yes, Eurexpo allows double-decker stands subject to a technical file approved by an inspection body and the organiser. We design the structure, produce the structural calculations and handle the approval: double-decker stands are our speciality.
Yes: after dismantling, your stand returns to our workshop where it is stored, maintained and reconfigured for the next edition, in Lyon or at another trade show. Your investment pays off over several years, and it is also the most sustainable choice.
Yes, we are a stand builder and manufacturer: 3D design by our design office, manufacturing and pre-assembly in our workshop, installation by our own teams. No subcontracting of the structure, which protects your deadlines and the quality of finish at the trade show.
