We design spaces for leading brands at Porto’s biggest trade shows
Why choose us as your exhibition stand company in Porto?
In-house manufacturing and stand construction for trade shows in Porto
The industries that exhibit here judge a supplier partly by how well built their own stand is. That is uncomfortable but useful: it means the joinery matters. Every exhibition stand is made in our own carpentry workshop, which is the same argument the exhibitors at Exponor make about their own production.
Stand installation at Exponor with crews who know the venue
Exponor spreads across a 250,000 square metre site at Leça da Palmeira in Matosinhos, with six pavilions and around 45,000 square metres of covered exhibition space. Our stand builders confirm the pavilion and the gate before loading in Barcelona, because the site is large and the access is not obvious from a plan.
Beyond the organiser modular booth
The organiser package puts a frame and a sign on your plot. In front of a buyer who has spent the morning inspecting the finish on other companies’ machinery, it undersells you before anyone speaks. An independent stand builder is how you avoid that.
A Porto exhibition booth normally has to hold real product, sometimes heavy, and still leave room to negotiate. We plan the load and the meeting space together rather than fitting one around the other afterwards.
Exhibition stand design and build with a turnkey 360º service
One exhibition stand builder from concept to dismantling. The drawing, the build and the installation stay in the same hands, so what is standing at Exponor is what was approved.
01
Strategic 3D design of your exhibition stand in Porto
As an exhibition stand design company in Porto, we start from the product you need on the plot and its real weight and size, then design the structure and the buyer route around it.
02
Exhibition stand manufacturing for Porto in our own workshop
Exclusive furniture, state-of-the-art lighting, large-format graphic printing and structures calculated for the loads your product actually imposes. The render you approve is what waits at Exponor.
03
Installation and dismantling at Exponor
Our stand builders for trade shows in Porto install to the pavilion rules and the organiser schedule, coordinate machinery arriving separately, and dismantle cleanly at the end.
Porto trade fairs where we build your stand
Machinery, packaging, textiles and food each have their Portuguese fair in these pavilions, and the technical demands differ completely. Whether it is a custom exhibition stand or an event booth, we come knowing which applies to you.

Custom exhibition stands in Porto that make the difference
Two decades of stands built for industries that inspect a finish for a living. Each of these exhibition stands was manufactured and checked in our Barcelona workshop first.
What the brands that exhibit with us in Porto say
Published raw. Trustindex republishes what clients wrote on Google after we handed over their exhibition stand, with no selection on our side.
Common questions about exhibition stand construction in Porto
The questions we get before a first fair at Exponor. If yours is not here, ask us.
How far in advance should I order my exhibition stand in Porto?
Four to six months for a custom stand, and earlier if you are bringing machinery, because the load calculations and the organiser approvals sit at the front of the schedule. Give us the fair and the plot and we will tell you what is realistic.
Do you handle the paperwork with Exponor and the organiser?
Yes. Stand plans, build-up and dismantling times, electrical and rigging requests and the structural sign-off that machinery on a stand requires are all handled by us with the organiser.
Do you build in Porto even though your workshop is in Barcelona?
We do. There is no depot of ours in Portugal. The stand is assembled and inspected complete in our Barcelona carpentry workshop, then dismantled, driven to Matosinhos and rebuilt at Exponor by our own installers.
Modular booth or custom stand for Exponor?
For a small plot, modular is a fair spend. If you are showing machinery or competing at EMAF or Concreta, where buyers are judging build quality all day, custom is the one that does not work against you. Tell us the objective and we will advise plainly.
Which fairs in Porto do you build exhibition stands for?
EMAF, SIMIEX, Interplastpoint, Interpackprint, Concreta, ITF – Intertex Portugal, Interleather & Shoes, Portojóia, Expoalimenta, Expocarne, Tecnipão and Expocosmética, all at Exponor. Corporate events elsewhere in the north of Portugal are also within what we do.
Let us handle your stand design for your next trade show in Porto
At Exponor the people walking your aisle build things for a living and can tell how your stand was made. Tell us the fair and what you need on the plot, and one of our designers will come back with a proposal.
