Seafood Expo Global, the world’s largest seafood trade event, takes place in Barcelona
Seafood Expo Global, held alongside Seafood Processing Global, is the world’s largest seafood trade event and takes place every spring at Fira Barcelona Gran Via. The 2026 edition set an attendance record with more than 35,500 industry professionals: buyers, importers and distributors sourcing fish, shellfish and aquaculture products from all over the world. In that context, a conventional stand goes unnoticed.
At Contemporanea Eventi we design, manufacture and install your custom stand for Seafood Expo Global with in-house carpentry at our Barcelona workshop, minutes from the venue, from a compact booth to a large island stand. We know what this sector demands: fresh product display, chilled and refrigerated units, tasting areas and negotiation spaces with hygienic finishes. More than 20 years turning square metres into spaces that generate real business contacts.

Exhibition stands we have built for the food and beverage sector
With more than 20 years of experience, we have designed and built exhibition stands for food and beverage brands at Barcelona’s leading trade shows, with tasting areas, product display and meeting spaces. We start from a photo-realistic 3D design, manufacture with our own carpentry and sustainable materials, and take care of every finish so that the product is the hero.
What your Seafood Expo Global stand needs, depending on what you exhibit
A stand that works at a seafood trade show is not improvised. Everything we do at Seafood Expo Global rests on these three decisions.
01
Fresh and chilled seafood
Fresh fish on display needs cold and drainage. We build refrigerated display into the joinery, with a hygienic surface and a back-of-house where product is replaced out of sight.
02
Frozen and processed products
Frozen product has to stay frozen for three days. We size freezer units and their power supply, and plan a tasting point where the sample is prepared without breaking the cold chain.
03
Processing and packaging equipment
Processing machinery is heavy and is sold running. We calculate floor loads and plan power and water, leaving safe clearance around the machine for a live demonstration.
04
Country and regional pavilions
Country pavilions gather many producers under one flag. We design a shared architecture with individual positions, each with its own counter, name and storage.
A reusable stand that goes with you edition after edition
Seafood Expo Global is an annual fixture in Barcelona. A recurring Seafood Expo Global presence justifies a demountable stand that comes back to the workshop and returns refreshed. A sustainable option you can also reuse at other food and beverage trade shows.

Both. We build custom, bespoke stands with a premium finish and also modular, reusable solutions, including double-decker structures when you need extra meeting space on a limited footprint.
Does the Seafood Expo Global service cover transport, build and dismantle?
Yes, we work turnkey. Manufacturing close to Fira de Barcelona Gran Via lets us run the Seafood Expo Global transport, build and dismantle on our own schedule rather than a haulier’s.
