Brands that trust us
At PRIVEL you are not selling to the public, you are negotiating with buyers
Exhibiting at PRIVEL 2026? This show works differently from any other food or retail fair. Nobody walks in to browse: the visitors are category buyers from more than 50 distribution groups and international purchasing teams from over 30 countries, and they come with a schedule of meetings.
That changes what your stand is for. It is not a shop window, it is a negotiating room with your product on the table. At Contemporánea Eventi we design, manufacture and install your custom PRIVEL exhibition stand around that reality, with in-house joinery at our Barcelona workshop and sustainable materials.
What is PRIVEL and when does it take place
PRIVEL is the trade fair for private label manufacturers and retailers organised by IFEMA MADRID with Alimarket as main partner. It connects manufacturers of own-brand product with national and international suppliers and distribution groups. The next edition takes place on 4 and 5 November 2026 at the IFEMA Madrid exhibition centre.
It is an annual, strictly professional show, and a short one: two days to hold every meeting that matters. The 2026 edition runs a buyer programme with attendees from more than 30 countries and over 50 distribution groups. Because the agenda is so concentrated, a stand that cannot host a private conversation is a stand that wastes the trip.
Turnkey service for your PRIVEL stand
We handle the whole process, from the first sketch to dismantling, so you can focus on your meetings. One team, turnkey and with no middlemen. We design the concept, build it with in-house joinery at our Barcelona workshop and install it at IFEMA Madrid, so your stand arrives flawless and on time.

Projects that back every stand we build
For more than 20 years we have been designing and building exhibition stands for trade fairs across Europe, with experience in food and consumer goods alongside technology, healthcare and industry. We start from a photorealistic 3D render, manufacture with in-house joinery and sustainable materials, and control every finish, because on a private label stand the finish is the argument.
What a private label stand needs to close deals
Two days, a full diary and buyers who decide on volume and margin. These are the four things we plan first.
01
Meeting space above everything else
With an agenda of scheduled appointments, the stand needs seated positions and a degree of privacy. We plan how many simultaneous meetings you expect and build the layout around that number, not around display frontage.
02
Product on the table, not on a shelf
A buyer wants to handle the packaging, compare formats and talk about specifications. We design work surfaces and accessible storage so samples can be brought out and put away during a meeting without disrupting it.
03
Showing manufacturing capability
In private label you sell your plant as much as your product. We use the stand to convey capacity, certifications and quality standards with graphics and materials, so credibility is established before the conversation starts.
04
A two-day build that still looks premium
A short show does not justify a throwaway stand. We build reusable structures that go up and come down quickly and can be reused at other trade fairs, so a two-day event does not consume a full year’s exhibition budget.
A reusable stand, edition after edition
PRIVEL is an annual date, and for a two-day show reuse matters even more. We design a modular, reusable stand that keeps your brand identity, goes up quickly and can travel to other food and retail fairs during the year.
We store the structural elements at our facilities between editions and refresh graphics and layout for the next one, working with FSC and PEFC certified timber, aluminium and recyclable materials, which is increasingly something distribution groups ask their suppliers about.
Frequently asked questions about PRIVEL stands
The questions we hear most from manufacturers preparing their stand for PRIVEL at IFEMA Madrid, from dates and meeting areas to logistics, installation and reuse. If yours is not here, get in touch and we will advise you with no obligation.
When does PRIVEL 2026 take place?
PRIVEL 2026 takes place on 4 and 5 November 2026 at IFEMA MADRID, organised with Alimarket as main partner. It is only two days, so the stand has to be ready to work from the first hour: there is no time to fix anything once the show opens.
How many meeting spaces should our stand have?
It depends on your appointment schedule, and that is the first question we ask. We size the stand around the number of simultaneous meetings you expect, deciding between open tables, semi-private areas or a closed room. At PRIVEL, seated capacity is usually worth more than display frontage.
Can you include private rooms for buyer negotiations?
Yes. We build closed or semi-private meeting rooms within the stand, with reasonable acoustic separation, so pricing and volume can be discussed without the next buyer overhearing. We fit them in without blocking the approach from the aisle.
What does your PRIVEL stand design and build service include?
It is a turnkey service: design and 3D render, manufacturing at our own workshop, transport to IFEMA Madrid, build and dismantling on site, and support during the show. We also handle the venue’s technical documentation and the service connections your product needs, including refrigeration if you exhibit food.
Is it worth a custom stand for a two-day show?
It is if the stand is reusable. We build demountable structures that we store between editions and that can travel to other food and retail fairs during the year, so the investment is not written off after two days. That is the approach we recommend for this show.
Can you install at IFEMA even though your workshop is in Barcelona?
Yes. We manufacture at our Barcelona workshop and travel to IFEMA Madrid with our own build crew, as we regularly do for shows at the Madrid venue. Transport and coordination with IFEMA are part of the turnkey service.
