The real problem

You don't improvise a trade show at Eurexpo

Lyon hosts world-class trade shows: SIRHA, Pollutec, Global Industrie. Huge halls, international exhibitors, strict build-up rules. Here is what catches exhibitors out.

01

World-class trade shows

At SIRHA or Global Industrie, your aisle neighbours come from all over the world with spectacular stands. A standard stand simply disappears.

02

Eurexpo has its own rules

Build-up slots, heavy goods access in Chassieu, badges, height limits: a contractor discovering the venue wastes precious hours.

03

Outsourced manufacturing

Many agencies design then outsource the manufacturing. The result: delays you cannot control, inconsistent quality, diluted responsibilities.

Our answer

One workshop, one consistent quality, all the way to your Lyon stand

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.

François Sire, founder of TheStandExperts

“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.”

What changes with a manufacturer

Why Lyon exhibitors choose us

1

Manufacturing that is never outsourced

Designed, built and pre-assembled in our workshop: by the time it reaches Eurexpo, your stand has already been assembled once. Zero nasty surprises.

2

A stand that follows all your trade shows

Lyon in March, Paris in September: the same stand follows you from city to city, stored and reconfigured by our teams between editions.

3

A deliberate CSR choice

Reusing the same stand at every trade show means fewer sets ending up in a skip: a genuine, measurable CSR approach.

4

One contact, not a chain

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.

  • Fixed-rate Lyon transport: no mileage surprises on the quote.
  • Eurexpo mastered: slots, Chassieu access, safety, organiser’s files.
  • Pre-assembled before departure: your stand has already been assembled and checked in our workshop.
  • Storage between editions: your stand serves again from trade show to trade show.

We answer everything

Exhibition stand builder in Lyon: your frequently asked questions

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.

Your next trade show in Lyon deserves a stand that is manufactured, not improvised.
