Your VETECO stand has to carry real product
Exhibiting at VETECO 2026 and need a stand that can hold full-size windows, facades and curtain wall panels? With more than 46,700 professionals walking the show, visitors do not come to read a catalogue: they come to open, close and handle your systems. A lightweight exhibition build will not take that.
At Contemporánea Eventi we design, manufacture and install your custom VETECO exhibition stand, with in-house joinery at our Barcelona workshop. For more than 20 years we have been solving stands with real structural demands, with craft finishes and sustainable materials.
What is VETECO and when does it take place
VETECO is the International Window, Facade and Solar Protection Exhibition organised by IFEMA MADRID, and the leading Spanish trade fair for manufacturers and installers of building envelope systems. The next edition runs from 10 to 13 November 2026 at the IFEMA Madrid exhibition centre, with more than 46,700 professionals expected.
It is a biennial show, held within SICON, the International Construction Week, alongside Construtec, Smartdoors and Piscimad, with 560 exhibiting companies and 38,000 sqm of exhibition space. Each edition concentrates two years of product development, and 16% of the participation at this international trade fair comes from outside Spain. Aluminium and PVC window manufacturers, facade and curtain wall systems, glass, solar protection, hardware and machinery all exhibit together, all of it around the energy efficiency of the building, and the audience is technical: installers, metalwork shops, architects and specifiers.
Turnkey service for your VETECO stand
The whole VETECO process sits with us, which is the point: your people should be talking to clients, not chasing an electrician. One team and one contact for the whole VETECO build. Concept, in-house manufacturing and build at IFEMA Madrid: the whole VETECO project runs on one set of hands.
Design
Collaborative briefing, a strategy built around your visitor and a photorealistic 3D render of your space.
Manufacturing
In-house joinery and manufacturing with premium, high-quality and sustainable materials at our Barcelona workshop.
Build & install
Transport and coordination to IFEMA Madrid, on-site build and dismantling by our own crew, and dedicated support throughout the show.
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 industrial sectors alongside technology, food and healthcare. We start from a photorealistic 3D render, manufacture with in-house joinery and sustainable materials, and solve the construction details heavy product demands.
What a window and facade stand really needs
Exhibiting building envelope systems is not the same as exhibiting showcase product. These are the four problems we solve before drawing anything.
01
Load-bearing structure for real samples
An aluminium window with glazing is heavy, and a facade panel heavier still. We calculate fixings, counterweights and reinforcement so your samples are held safely and visitors can operate them without anything shifting.
02
Swing clearance for opening samples
At VETECO you sell with your hands. We leave swing clearance around every opening, set handle heights within reach and plan circulation so the aisle does not block when someone stops to try a tilt-and-turn.
03
Lighting that reveals glazing performance
Solar control, low-emissivity and safety glazing only read with the right light. We plan natural and technical lighting so the performance is visible rather than something you have to explain.
04
A technical area for specifiers
Architects and installers ask about sections, test data and construction details. We set aside a technical table with cut-away profile samples and room to go through documentation properly.
A reusable stand between VETECO editions
Because VETECO runs every two years, a stand built for a single edition is money thrown away the moment it is dismantled. We design reusable, demountable structures whose parts are stored and recombined for the next edition or for other construction trade fairs.
On a stand with structural demands this has an extra advantage: the expensive part is the substructure carrying your samples, and that is exactly what gets kept. We specify certified wood, aluminium and recyclable materials for VETECO as standard.
Frequently asked questions about VETECO stands
The questions we hear most from companies preparing their stand for VETECO at IFEMA Madrid, from dates and structure to logistics, installation and reusing the stand between editions. Still unsure about something at VETECO? Ask.
When does VETECO 2026 take place?
VETECO 2026 runs from 10 to 13 November 2026 at IFEMA MADRID, with more than 46,700 professionals expected. It is a biennial show, so if you plan to exhibit it is worth signing off the stand design as soon as possible: there are only a few months left and build capacity fills up.
Can you install full-size windows and facade panels on the stand?
Yes, it is standard practice at VETECO. We calculate the substructure, fixings and counterweights needed to carry aluminium or PVC windows with glazing, curtain wall panels and solar protection systems, so visitors can operate them safely across all four days.
What does your VETECO stand design and build service include?
It is a turnkey service: design and 3D render, structural calculation, manufacturing at our own workshop, transport to IFEMA Madrid, build and dismantling on site, and support throughout the show. Technical documentation and electrics at IFEMA Madrid are part of what we take on.
How do you light a stand showing glass and solar protection?
Carefully, because the product is transparent. We combine general and directional lighting so solar control, low-emissivity coatings and profile finishes can be appreciated, avoiding reflections that hide the performance. It is one of the decisions that most changes how product is perceived at this show.
Does the VETECO stand survive being dismantled and stored?
Yes, and here it pays off especially well. We build demountable structures whose parts we store between editions, and on a stand with a load-bearing substructure that is the most valuable part. For the next edition the graphics are refreshed and the layout reconfigured to suit your space.
How does a Barcelona workshop handle the VETECO build at IFEMA Madrid?
Yes. For VETECO we take our own installers to IFEMA Madrid, so the people building it already know how it fits together. The VETECO quote includes transport and everything that has to be agreed with IFEMA Madrid.
