This is the wood we’re carved from

Masterful

Our craftspeople have been professionally trained in Germany. We’re precise. We’re reliable. We’re passionate about the materials we use and the work we do.

Inspiring

Everything we design is meant to inspire. Always willing to set a trend, we create aesthetically exciting spaces that invite visitors to linger.

Fair

We don’t want success at any price. But only because we deserve it. That’s why, right from the start, we act as if we’ll meet again.

And sustainable?

It’s not carved on our masthead. But simply because we work with wood, we think long term. Especially on behalf of our customers.

Managing Director

Marcel Paetzold

„Our combined know-how covers the areas of exhibition stand construction, interior design and service – and is therefore unique in Germany. We use this 360° expertise to create fascinating spaces that inspire.“

Our growth rings

For 50 years, we’ve ensured you’re the centre of attention

We build exhibition stands that allow our customers to shine. Throughout Germany and internationally. Since 1978, directly on the fairgrounds in Frankfurt. We maintain the entire grounds on behalf of fairconstruction.

We’re also responsible for the central planning when stands are built.

Moreover, we’ve been realising stunning interiors since 1890 – for example, in several of Frankfurt’s skyscrapers. Not to mention the entire floors in the Hilton and Intercontinental hotels that we’ve remodelled.

Our story, carved in numbers

Since 1890

Fairworks was previously Jean Abt Innenausbau GmbH. Its speciality, 130 years ago, was interiors and furniture.

55 events each year

We are one of the in-house builders at the exhibition grounds in Frankfurt. Yet we also handle events nationwide.

18 vehicles

We transport, assemble, disassemble and warehouse – assisted by powerful forklifts and trucks.

30+ qualified employees

Our team brings together professionals specialised in woodworking. But also in graphics, logistics and lighting.

170 freelancers

We don’t tackle major events on our own. We rely on partners we’ve collaborated with for many years.

1,525 sqm of workspace

…is what our carpenters have at their disposal. That’s the size of two youth soccer pitches. Our warehouse? It has another 1,000 sqm.

FAQ

What information do I need to plan a stand?

We need to know the size and location of your stand, the budget, the objectives of your presence at the fair, and any special features of your products or services. Details about your target group and the types of interactions you aim for during the fair would also be helpful in optimizing the design of your stand.

How is the stand designed?

The stand’s design is determined by several factors. These include your corporate image, your objectives for appearing at the fair, the types of products or services you want to showcase, and your budget. Our design experts will work closely with you to ensure that your stand meets your needs and that it has the greatest possible impact.

What does an exhibition stand cost?

The costs for a stand vary considerably depending on size, design, materials and additional services, such as lighting, multimedia and furniture. To provide you with an accurate quote, we prefer to speak to you in person. That way, we can be sure we understand your exact needs.

Is it better to buy or rent an exhibition stand?

Whether you should buy or rent a stand depends on a number of factors, such as how often you exhibit at trade fairs and whether you need a consistent look at different events. We offer options to both rent and buy and will be happy to advise you on the solution that’s best for you.
