Exponor, the trade fair engine of Northern Portugal
Porto is the economic capital of Northern Portugal, and its trade fair epicentre is Exponor – Feira Internacional do Porto, located in Leça da Palmeira (Matosinhos) and run by the Associação Empresarial de Portugal (AEP). It is one of the country's largest venues, with a B2B calendar that brings together industry, cosmetics, packaging, automotive, textiles and construction. For a company looking to break into the regional market, exhibiting here with a well-resolved stand is one of the most profitable commercial investments you can make, and that is exactly where Standarte makes the difference: we turn your brand's space into a high-return magnet for visitors.
We work the most relevant Exponor fairs —among them Concreta (construction, architecture and design), Expocosmética, Empack, ITF Intertex Portugal, ExpoMecânica, EMAF, Portojóia, Decor Hotel and EXPOCARNE— as well as events at other venues across the city such as the Centro de Congressos da Alfândega do Porto. We know the technical regulations of each venue inside out, which avoids surprises and delays during assembly.
3D design and custom joinery from our own workshop
A successful stand begins months before assembly. Our design phase is a meticulous process of brand engineering and visitor-flow optimisation: starting from your company's corporate guidelines, we create a fully interactive 3D prototype that is 100% faithful to the final result, so that your sales team can validate brand visibility, meeting areas and the integration of screens, counters and display cabinets before manufacturing begins.
One of our greatest advantages is having our own in-house workshop for high-quality joinery and finishes. With no subcontractors, we keep full control over materials, deadlines and quality, using modern assembly techniques and certified materials tested for temporary architecture. Partial pre-assembly at the workshop cuts on-site working time and guarantees a flawless finish even under the intense lighting of the show floor.
Turnkey logistics and assembly in Porto
Final assembly is the crowning touch of our turnkey service. We directly coordinate transport and packaging, on-site assembly, the electrical installation of spotlights and screens, the placement of graphics and the final cleaning. Your team simply has to turn up on the first day of the fair to find a fully operational corporate space, ready to capture leads. We also handle every technical formality the venues require —approved engineering projects, fire-retardancy certificates, electrical validations, risk assessments and insurance— for smooth approval at Exponor.
Our structure lets us serve Porto and Northern Portugal with the same agility as the rest of the Iberian Peninsula, giving agencies and direct exhibitors a single point of contact for design, production, logistics and assembly.
