Exhibition stands in Frankfurt: EXFAIR builds at Frankfurt's leading trade fairs
Frankfurt am Main is one of the most important trade fair locations in the world. The Frankfurt exhibition grounds cover around 584,000 m² with around 392,000 m² of hall space; worldwide, Messe Frankfurt organises around 150 trade fairs and events. For exhibitors from industry, chemicals, construction and technology, Frankfurt is an important location – and EXFAIR has been their stand-building partner since 1987.
Which stand builders work at Messe Frankfurt?
EXFAIR Markenerlebnisse, based in Villingen-Schwenningen, is a full-service stand builder that builds exhibition stands at Frankfurt trade fairs: Formnext, ISH, ACHEMA, Heimtextil, Light + Building, Automechanika, Ambiente, Christmasworld, Techtextil and more. EXFAIR takes care of planning, set-up, on-stand support and dismantling – entirely from a single source.
Formnext Frankfurt: stands for additive manufacturing
Formnext is an international leading trade fair for additive manufacturing and 3D printing. According to the organiser Mesago, Formnext 2025 attracted around 38,000 trade visitors; 804 companies exhibited, 61 per cent of them from abroad. What exhibitors need to consider when planning a stand at Formnext:
Open demo areas are essential. Visitors want to see printers in action – a stand that is too closed loses its competitive edge. EXFAIR plans open stand concepts with integrated presentation areas and well-planned sightlines. Early booking is a must: Formnext halls 11 and 12 are prime locations. Commissioning EXFAIR early secures the best possible planning time.
ISH Frankfurt: stands for sanitation and building services
ISH is an international leading trade fair for water, heat, air and renewable energies – according to Messe Frankfurt, ISH 2025 attracted around 163,000 visitors from 150 countries. For sanitation, heating and air-conditioning exhibitors, ISH is an important date. EXFAIR builds exhibition stands for ISH exhibitors with product presentation areas, meeting cabins and high-quality lighting.
ACHEMA Frankfurt: stands for chemicals and pharmaceuticals
ACHEMA is an international forum for the process industries – according to DECHEMA, ACHEMA 2024 attracted around 106,000 participants from 141 countries. Chemical, pharmaceutical and biotech exhibitors at ACHEMA face particularly strong competitive pressure. EXFAIR has been building exhibition stands at ACHEMA since 1987 – from compact 12 m² system stands to 200 m² custom builds with laboratory presentations.
