Stauffis Messebau

Stauffis Messebau has built trade fair stands from Reinach in canton Aargau since 1984 and today works from about 4,500 m2 of offices, workshops and storage, with its own joinery and paint shop. Its modular rental stands start at 6 m2, priced at a flat rate per square metre, with delivery and installation quoted separately for each site.

What you get from one Swiss contractor

If you exhibit in Switzerland, you can have the stand made, packed, delivered, installed, dismantled and stored by the same firm, which avoids passing your materials between a builder, a haulier and a labour crew. The company says most of its work is done by its own staff in joinery, painting, planning, installation and logistics, with long-standing partners only for specialist services. It makes transport crates and protective covers in house to fit your parts, and on return it checks, cleans and services each element so the stand is ready for the next show, even at short notice. It runs its own vehicle fleet and uses fair forwarders for larger loads.

Stand formats and hire

For smaller exhibitors, its downloadable spec sheets set out fixed packages:

• Modulstand SMART, from 4 m2, white walls 2,500 mm high with one LED arm light per 2 m of wall.
• Modulstand BASIC, from 6 m2, with a chrome lattice fascia and one spot per 3 m2.
• Modulstand PRESTIGE, from 12 m2, with an aluminium ceiling frame at 3,000 mm, a choice of four carpet colours and your logo on the fascia.
• Pallet pop up stands in fixed sizes, the small one 2 by 2 m.

Power for your own use is ordered on a separate form, and cancellations of standard fittings are not refunded. The 2026 hire catalogue covers chairs, bar stools, sofas, tables, counters and cupboards, display cases and plinths, brochure stands, kitchen kit, coffee machines, lighting and flooring.

Work for fair organisers

Beyond single stands, Stauffis fits out whole fairs with rows of modular stands and hire furniture for organisers. Its partner page shows regional and trade fairs including ZAGG, Expo Rapperswil Jona, WYNA Expo in Reinach, Berufsschau 2025 and Fantasy Basel. Custom builds on its site include stands for Traitafina and Schulthess and a Dyson in house exhibition. It also installs LED walls, displays and touch screens for stands and shops.

How it compares

Among installation and dismantling suppliers, Coastal International and Willwork send labour crews to US halls, while Stauffis builds the stand it installs. In Switzerland, SYMA makes its own aluminium system and dates from 1961, and DAXO promises a first design within five working days.
