We would like to express our deepest gratitude for the excellent work you did organising our stand at SIRHA Lyon. We knew we could count on your expertise and professionalism to make this important event a success for our company.

Your work was outstanding, from planning and logistics to coordination and last-minute details (yes, there are always some at a trade show!).

François Sire and his team have a remarkable ability to grasp our message-simplification challenges. It is true that in the insurance business, we love legal disclaimers! With François, we first think about our reception areas to create custom furniture and walls that define our messaging space on the stand. Form and content come together. And what a form! Beyond the first sketches, we are always amazed by the final result and its quality of execution.

I had the opportunity to work with The Stand Experts on a 60 sqm stand. We were delighted with the result. François fully met our needs, listened carefully, showed real creativity, adapted very well to our requirements and always found a solution when needed. He is extremely available and responsive. It was a pleasure working with François, I highly recommend him. Excellent value for money. Very friendly team, from the designer to the joiner.

With François Sire and his team, we found a great capacity to listen while they built our rather modest-sized stand, even though they were managing much larger stands at the same time. That is also what we appreciated in the relationship with François Sire: a high level of service even though we were not his biggest project at the time. If we had to sum up the follow-up: attention to detail and full ownership of every aspect so nothing gets forgotten. It is truly reassuring to have a partner who looks after things this closely. The result exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend them.

Exhibition stand builder: your frequently asked questions

An exhibition stand builder designs, manufactures and installs exhibitors’ stands at trade shows, congresses and events. The job covers design, workshop manufacturing, transport and installation, then dismantling and storage. TheStandExperts is a stand builder and manufacturer: design office, workshop and installation teams are in-house for shows in France, and our partner workshops in the country of the show build and install abroad under the supervision of a TSE project manager.

Allow €600 to €900 per sqm for a modular stand, €800 to €1,500 per sqm for a custom stand and €1,000 to €2,000 per sqm of floor area for a double-decker stand. These ranges are indicative: the budget depends on the surface area, the materials and the options. Details are in our guide to exhibition stand costs.

Allow 1 to 2 months for a modular stand and 2 to 6 months for a custom or double-decker stand. The first layout idea and pricing arrive within 48 hours of your brief. The earlier you start, the more refined the design.

Yes, for shows in France: 3D design is handled by our design office, manufacturing and pre-assembly take place in our workshop, and our own teams install the stand. For shows abroad, the stand designed by our design office is built by our partner workshops in the country of the show and delivered straight to the venue, with a TSE project manager on site. That is what protects your deadlines and the finish on the show floor.

Yes. We install stands in Europe, the Middle East, North America and Asia. Your stand is designed by our design office in France, built by our partner workshops in the country of the show and delivered straight to the venue, with a TSE project manager on site: no shipping from France and no customs for the stand. See where we work.

Yes, and it is the most cost-effective way to exhibit. After dismantling, your stand returns to our workshop, where it is stored, maintained and reconfigured for the next show. The investment pays off over several editions.

Yes. A stand reused show after show avoids throwing away a set at every edition: that is the basis of our sustainable exhibition stands, with materials chosen to last and storage between two shows.
