When should a stand for United States be ordered?

At least eight weeks before the fair for a custom timber stand, four weeks for a maxima system stand; for builds abroad we add a week for freight and customs.

Can we get a quote for the upcoming fairs in United States?

Yes. The link next to each fair in the calendar opens a quote form with the fair name and dates already filled in; add the floor area and stand type and send it.

How do you ship the stand to the United States?

By sea in a container or by air, depending on the fair date. With sea freight we bring production forward; with air freight we reduce the packed volume. The decision is taken together at quote stage and the shipping date is written into the contract.

What is needed at customs?

An ATA Carnet. We issue the temporary export document for the stand and follow the exit from Turkey and the entry into the United States. We take the list and weight of your exhibits from you; if they travel with the stand they go on the same carnet.

Who builds the stand in an American hall?

The crew that produced it. Where the venue reserves certain steps for local labour we plan according to the organiser’s manual and give you a written note of who does what before the fair. Dismantling is ours as well.

When should we start?

For the United States 8 weeks is not a comfortable schedule but a minimum, and earlier still if sea freight is the choice. Send the fair name and dates, your floor area and number of open sides through the quote form; we come back within 48 hours with a first concept and the shipping options.

Location

Exhibition stand builders in United States

Overall view of the Er Bakır stand at Interwire 2025, with a dark grey structural frame, timber-clad columns and rows of ceiling spotlights.

Taking a stand to a fair in the United States is a different job from taking one to Europe: a container or an aircraft instead of a lorry, a long shipping calendar instead of a short one, and halls that work to their own rules. The 54 square metre custom timber stand we built for Er Bakır at Interwire 2025 in Atlanta was delivered on exactly that basis: produced in Beylikdüzü, trial-assembled in Istanbul, built at the Georgia World Congress Center by our own crew.

What we do at fairs in the United States

Design, production, shipping, customs, build and dismantling sit in one contract. We handle the technical file with the hall management; in American halls the loading, electrical and some assembly steps follow the venue’s own rules, so we read who does what from the organiser’s manual and plan the programme around it. Graphics and print are prepared in Istanbul, and where the hall asks for imperial dimensions the files are supplied that way.

There are two fairs we work at. Interwire at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta next runs on 4–6 May 2027; for companies in wire, cable and copper the Er Bakır stand (or booth, as the organiser calls it) is a ready reference. SHOT Show at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas runs on 19–22 January 2027; our stands for Ağaoğlu Silah at IWA 2025 in Nuremberg and for Yazıcılarav at Prohunt 2025 in Istanbul are on the firearms industry page.

Freight, customs and local support

Two routes to the United States: sea freight in a container, or air freight. The calendar decides which; with sea freight we pull production weeks forward, with air freight we pack as tightly as we would for a lorry. We issue the ATA Carnet for temporary import and follow customs on both sides; the stand returns on the same carnet after the fair. Our own crew builds the stand, and for the steps the venue reserves for local labour we coordinate with the team the organiser designates. The process is on the exhibition logistics page and the wider picture on the international exhibition stand page.

Which stand type

The Atlanta stand was a custom timber build: uninterrupted surfaces, free dimensions, 2–5 build days. Because volume affects the cost of a long shipment, the maxima system is a serious option too: 12–200 square metres, compact in a container, built in 1–3 days. We draw both types for the same plot and show them with the shipping difference alongside.

Logistics note
