The Global Market for Aluminum Expo Systems for Trade Shows, Exhibitions, Conferences, and Events in the Global Exhibiting Industry, Illustrated by the Example of Germany, a World Leader in Trade Shows and Events.

The 16 largest trade show organizers in Germany, from Deutsche Messe AG Hannover (with over 400,000 m² of exhibition space in halls, planned and built according to the latest trade fair guidelines for Expo 2000), Messe Frankfurt, Messe München, to Messe Friedrichshafen (70,000 m²), provide a total exhibition area of over 6 million m². These spaces are rented out up to four times a year on average. Worldwide, there are over 2,000 trade show organizers.

Existing Solutions/Problems

These exhibitions are dominated by aluminum trade fair construction systems, designed and executed in various forms, all meeting the technical requirements of the exhibiting industry. The key demands include durability, frequent reusability, flexible design options, and support through professional storage and transport logistics.

Aluminum requires large amounts of raw materials and energy. According to Austria’s leading environmental protection organization, Global 2000, the production of aluminum requires four times as much energy as paper production, ten times as much as tinplate production, and 27 times as much as glass processing. The extraction of bauxite, the raw material for aluminum production, generates large quantities of highly toxic waste products, which are deposited in heavy-metal-laden red sludge in open toxic sludge ponds. As is typical for open-pit mining, bauxite extraction causes widespread destruction of landscapes, such as the Brazilian rainforests or Siberian ancient forests.
