Stand construction and logistics at Messe Frankfurt
On a site with ten halls and roughly 400,000 square metres of event space, build-up day is a logistics job. Goods receiving is not next to your stand, the walk from hall 3 to hall 11 is long, and delivery slots are tightly scheduled. If nobody is there to carry, your freight sits in the aisle.
What we provide – and what we do not
We provide helpers who carry, unpack, push, stack and clear – not stand builders. Our people work to the instructions of your contractor or your own team. Your builder constructs and assembles the stand itself; electrics and rigging stay with the specialists.
That is usually where the gap is: not the skilled trade, but the second and third pair of hands. Our staff bring safety shoes and gloves and are instructed in workplace safety.
Everything is planned through one named contact who sets the shifts. You are invoiced for the hours actually worked – if build-up goes faster than expected, you pay less.
