Stand design

Designing an Anuga FoodTec stand with equipment running, calculated supports and a technical zone

A machinery show needs load, services and space. As approval is requested six weeks before build-up, we solve it in the first sketch.

Supports for the load

Heavy machines rest on calculated structure, with the hall's floor and access points in mind.

Equipment running

Power, air or water planned from the drawing, so the machine works throughout the show.

Technical zone

A corner with a table and screen where a technician explains the hygienic design and the data.

Modular to return

Parts that come apart and reconfigure, to reuse the stand at the next edition.

Budget

What weighs on the budget of an Anuga FoodTec stand with machinery running

We do not give figures without seeing your plot: the cost of an Anuga FoodTec stand depends on the metres, the weight of the equipment and the services. These are the six factors.

Heavy equipment

Large-format machines need reinforced structure and supports to be shown safely.

Plant services

Every working piece of equipment adds power, air or water and drainage, planned from the drawing.

Technical zone and rooms

Every room adds structure and insulation, and reduces the open surface of the stand.

Height and second floor

Exceeding the hall height or building two storeys needs approval and a calculated structure.

Transport and build-up

Producing in Barcelona means planning transport to Cologne and a short build-up window.

Reusing the stand

A modular design pays off because the show is triennial and between editions you can go to other shows.

The attention to detail, but above all the constant support and presence throughout the entire process, made everything run smoothly and without any worries on our side.
The opening was a great success, and we received compliments throughout the entire duration of the fair.
Highly recommended — an excellent company that truly demonstrates the experience built over many years in the industry.

 Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. We were super satisfied with Contemporanea Eventi's work at SBC Summit Portugal. They understood our requirements and delivered a stand that was perfectly aligned with our brand and exactly matched the original render. They met all deadlines and specifications throughout the project. In addition, having Inés as our main point of contact made the entire process much smoother and easier to coordinate. They exceeded all our expectations.

FAQ

Questions from Anuga FoodTec exhibitors about their stand and build-up in Cologne

The questions that come up most when preparing a stand at Koelnmesse, answered with its technical guidelines, until the Anuga FoodTec 2027 manual is confirmed.

When is Anuga FoodTec 2027?

On 23-26 February 2027 at Koelnmesse, in Cologne.

What were the figures of Anuga FoodTec 2024?

Per its website, about 1,307 exhibitors and 38,427 visitors from 133 countries, over 118,000 m².

How much does a Anuga FoodTec stand cost?

It depends on the plot, the weight of the equipment and the services, so we give no figure without the plan. To orient yourself on the items, see how to calculate a trade show stand budget.

What is the maximum height?

Each hall sets it, and exceeding it needs Koelnmesse approval six weeks ahead.

Can I build a two-floor stand?

Yes, with Koelnmesse approval and a clear height of 2.30 m per storey.

When should I start designing?

With months to spare, because approval is requested six weeks before build-up. See the steps to organise a trade show in advance.

How we install the machinery of your Anuga FoodTec stand at Koelnmesse

We build the stand in our Barcelona workshop and take it to Koelnmesse. We install and dismantle it ourselves, within the organiser's hours.
