We are still catching our breath after the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), held at McCormack Place in Chicago in September. The show is one of the largest in the country, with 1.3 million square feet of exhibit space and over 2,400 companies exhibiting!
What an exciting show to be a part of this year. We had six clients exhibiting at the IMTS show, four of which included new exhibits. We not only designed and built the displays, but we also assisted in the installation and tear down. Below is a brief recap of a few of our clients’ exhibits – maybe they’ll give you some ideas for your next trade show exhibit!
Jenoptik Automotive North America
30’ x 40’ Footprint: We provided a custom rental exhibit, 16’ high with a 40’ long back wall using the new Nomadic VersaWall system. The back wall was a curved structure giving the client ample storage space and a place to mount an extra-large monitor.
Highlights:
Quick Set Up: The wall’s lightweight aluminum frames assemble without tools and need just a twist to connect the frames together.
Eye-catching graphics: The Sintra graphic panels we added created a large clean surface with stunning, colorful graphics.
Drawing in Visitors: We built a custom, 2-tiered reception counter with LED lighting, locking storage and power outlets, and two product pedestals with blue LED strip lighting to showcase Jenoptik’s products.
Dave Kruise, Marketing Director of Jenoptik Automotive North America, truly appreciated the way it all turned out. Dave said “The show was great and we had lots of compliments on the booth!”
Dynatect
30’ x 70’ Footprint: We designed and built the custom displays, plus printed the graphics for the existing product displays.
Highlights:
Standing Out: We ensured Dynatect was not lost in the large exhibit space by creating a large hanging sign, along with a 16’ tower with a dimensional logo.
Innovative Use of Space: Dynatect needed a storage room, which we integrated with the display by providing laminated graphics panels.
Incorporating Rental Items: To keep costs down, while also meeting Dynatect’s need for areas to interact with booth visitors, we provided the rental counters, tables and chairs.
Jessica Mallinus, Marketing Communications Manager at Dynatect said “It was awesome working with you, and the Exhibit Systems team. Thanks for making it seamless and making me look good!”
Fischer USA
20’ x 25’ Footprint: We provided a custom rental exhibit with 16’ back wall, storage closet, and product displays.
Highlight:
Creative Lighting: We created eight large, towering backlit graphics to showcase Fischer USA’s offerings and ensure their exhibit stood out on a crowded floor.
Product Displays: We provided a number of rental pedestals to display their products.
Becke Palmer, “Chris, the Exhibit Systems supervisor, was great yesterday and although it was a long day for all, the display looks great.”
ATS Systems
20’ x 40’ Footprint: We provided the custom-designed modular display, including large graphic panels highlighting the ATS Jet Cool brands.
Highlights:
Variety in Design: We customized ATS Systems’ rental exhibit with direct printed and laminated graphic infill panels, a hanging sign, standoff logo graphics,
Storage Needs: We provided storage for five large machines and also an enclosed product closet room that blended seamlessly into the exhibit space.
Showcasing Products: We created several large product display counters that were sturdy enough to handle ATS machines.
Mike Harper, National Sales Manager Tradeshow Exhibits- “Exhibit Systems took all the worry out of our major trade show needs and installed a stunning display.”
