Exhibition stand design and build for trade fairs in Porto.

At Standarte we design and build your stand for Exponor (Feira Internacional do Porto) from start to finish: design, in-house manufacturing in our own workshop, transport, assembly and dismantling. A single point of contact for the whole project, with no subcontractors or middlemen, more than 20 years of experience and a regular presence at Northern Portugal's major events —Concreta, Emaf, Expocosmética and Essência do Vinho. Because we control every stage internally, deadlines are firmer, coordination disappears and the finish you approve is exactly what is built in the hall.

Trade fair stands in Porto: keys to a successful stand, step by step

  1. Briefing and objectives. We understand your brand, your product and your goals at the fair to size the space and the investment.
  2. Design and 3D prototype in 72h. We engineer the stand with high-fidelity 3D software and deliver a photorealistic prototype so you can validate every detail before anything is built.
  3. Validation with the Audited Project system. Every approval —design, quote and changes— is recorded in a verifiable, archivable file: our 100 % guarantee that what is built is what you approved.
  4. In-house manufacturing. We produce the custom carpentry, furniture and graphics under artisan-level quality control.
  5. Transport and assembly. Our own fitters and carpenters raise the stand with the pre-fabrication completed 24 h before the opening.
  6. Dismantling. We remove the stand once the event closes so you don't have to deal with a thing.

Trade fair stands in Porto: venue technical documentation

Exponor, in Leça da Palmeira (Matosinhos), 10 minutes from Porto city centre and from Francisco Sá Carneiro airport, spans some 180,000 m² in total with around 45,000 m² covered across six pavilions, galleries and halls. The venue is completed by an auditorium seating 945, a business centre with 8 multipurpose rooms, more than 5,000 m² of galleries and parking for 2,500 vehicles. This variety of spaces accommodates everything from modular stands to large-format islands and double-decker builds.

We master the technical documentation Exponor requires: electrical and water connection requests, certified projects for work at height, activity coordination plans and the fire-reaction certificates for timber and textiles under Portuguese regulations. We submit all documentation to the venue's technical office and leave the stand assembled and checked 24 h before the opening.

Exponor has wide vehicle access right up to the halls that eases unloading and assembly, with excellent motorway and airport connections. We coordinate international transport, full pre-fabrication in the workshop and a clean, punctual set-up. Calculate your investment instantly on stand prices.

Trade fair stands in Porto: frequently asked questions

Do you design, manufacture and build the stand yourselves, or subcontract?

The entire process is in-house, with no subcontractors: we design, manufacture in our own workshop, transport, assemble and dismantle. A single point of contact for the whole project, with firmer deadlines and no coordination problems.

How big is Exponor and what facilities does it have?

Exponor, in Matosinhos, spans some 180,000 m² in total with around 45,000 m² covered across six pavilions, galleries and halls, plus an auditorium seating 945, a business centre with 8 rooms and parking for 2,500 vehicles. It is 10 minutes from Porto city centre and from the airport.

Do you handle Exponor's technical documentation and certificates?

Yes. We manage the electrical and water connections, the certified projects for work at height, the activity coordination plans and the fire-reaction certificates for timber and textiles under Portuguese regulations.

How much does a stand in Porto cost?

It depends on the square metres and the type of stand (modular, custom or premium). With our instant calculation based on m² you get a price forecast in seconds; the firm quote we fine-tune with you.

Do you also build in Lisbon and in Spain?

Yes. We offer the widest Iberian coverage with the same builder and the same quality standards: we build in Porto, Lisbon and across all of Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao…) with the same reliability.

What guarantee do you offer?

Our Audited Project system records every project in a verifiable, archivable file (3D prototype, quote and approvals) and guarantees 100% that exactly what the client approves is built.

How far in advance should I order a stand in Porto?

With 6-8 weeks a custom stand is built calmly: design, the venue’s technical validation and workshop production. A modular one needs less. Since the industrial events of northern Portugal cluster on specific dates, it pays to reserve the assembly slot early: fix your date and stop worrying.

It is our first fair — will you guide us through the whole process?

Yes, and we particularly enjoy it: we help you size the space, decide what to show and how, and avoid overpaying for venue services. From design to dismantling you will have a single contact person, and you will arrive at your first fair in Porto as if it were your tenth.
