System stands for trade fairs & events

Systematically fabulous – for trade fair and event organisers

SYSTEM STANDS FOR TRADE FAIR ORGANISERS

Live the "mp Experience"

In 2025 alone, we built 13,400 system stands – at 112 events with at least 25 stands each, at 30 locations, on a total of 234,000 m² of stand space. As a contract partner of trade fair organisers since 1991, we know what matters: building up large halls in the shortest possible time, handing over every stand on schedule and staying economical. This is made possible by 40 project managers, 30 CAD designers, 12 in-house site managers, a large stock of materials and our own digital tools. We call this interplay of logistics, know-how and service the mp Experience.

3 million
possibilities for your exhibitors

Your exhibitors want to save money, time and effort – and still have a stand that is individual and flexible. With our system stands, that is no contradiction. Around 85,000 m² of system walls from Octanorm, Maxima and our own Megawall system are ready in our warehouse. Megawall is a modular frame system without posts: an elegant look, large-format textile prints, cable routing inside the frame and freely placeable sockets. Megawall combines the price and flexibility of a system stand with the design look of custom stand construction.

LIGHT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Let there be light!

A trade fair stand only works with the right light. That's why LED lighting has been our standard on every system stand for ten years – with more than 21,500 LED spotlights in stock. Exhibitors and visitors see the result immediately: same hall, same show – our stands shine.

PERFORMANCE AND FLEXIBILITY

We build every idea.
And we do it fast.

Our strength lies in our people, our experience and our logistics: 40 project managers, 12 in-house site managers, 500 external installers and 15,000 m² of storage and logistics space in Leipzig and directly on the exhibition grounds in Cologne, Düsseldorf and Essen. This allows us to build on any hall space at trade fairs and any outdoor area for events – and to do it remarkably fast. In 2025 alone, we loaded and unloaded 1,840 trucks.

Assembly area

15 football fields in 3 days

With our system construction technology, we build 100,000 m² of gross floor space in just three days – that's almost 15 football pitches. Our largest single system stand in 2025: 1,320 m².

MP Experience

One more thing ...

Our people, their implementation strength and their industry know-how are the foundation. On top of that comes our own software, developed in-house by 15 IT developers: the system stand configurator, which lets your exhibitors configure their stands online, the logistics and installation app ELFE – winner of the best of mobile award – and the lead app myStandLeads as added value for your exhibitors. As an mp partner, you use this portfolio exclusively, making the trade fair business simpler and more efficient for you and your exhibitors.

CONTRACT PARTNER OF LEADING TRADE FAIRS & ORGANISERS

Our customers

  • "A lot of power and a modern logistics software“

    With around 292,000 m² of space in 17 halls and 35,000 exhibitors a year, we are one of the largest trade fair companies in Germany. There are only a few stand builders who can plan and deliver system stands on this scale as reliably as mp. The experts with their modern “Megawall” system have been our permanent partner since 2015 – not only because mp builds fast, big, flexibly and reliably, but also because the company actively supports us as an innovative service provider with its own controlling and logistics apps.

  • "Friendly, trustworthy and fast “

    We chose mp Messeprojekt GmbH as one of four stand construction companies to handle our stand construction offer at ACHEMA 2018 in Frankfurt am Main. We provide exhibitors from around 55 countries with their own ordering portal for a total area of around 132,000 m². Exhibitors supported by mp have consistently given positive feedback. Our collaboration with mp has always been friendly, trustworthy, competent and fast.

  • "Friendly, trustworthy and fast“

    mp organised everything brilliantly for us. We were very pleased with the team’s professional commitment, which also included excellent advice. It doesn’t happen every day that you meet someone who thinks ahead so well (e.g. about the LAN cable). I would always be happy to work with you again and highly recommend mp.

  • "Their advice won us over “

    “The sales department of mp has delivered good and financially feasible ideas for the realisation of our concepts. They also gave us excellent consultation. mp convinced us with a redesign of our trade fair concept using a stronger focus on the use of multi media and establishing a reception area for casual conversations at high tables and a bar. All of that was exactly what we needed. Our customers as well as our employees were very happy with the results.”
