Achema in Frankfurt is one of the world’s leading trade shows for the process industries, bringing together companies active in chemical engineering, biotechnology, environmental technology, automation and production.

As an experienced exhibition stand builder, we manage the full process: exhibition stand design, engineering, production, transport, on-site stand construction and post-event support. This gives your team one dedicated partner from the first idea to the final handover.

How we build exhibition stands for Achema

A successful stand at Achema starts with a clear strategy and a reliable route to execution. At KOP, we combine creative exhibition stand design with practical stand construction expertise, so the final result is both visually strong and technically well prepared. Our workflow for Achema follows three clear phases: design, production and realisation.

Exhibition stand strategy and design

We begin with your event goals. Do you want to launch an innovation, support live demonstrations, host meetings with existing clients or generate new business opportunities? Based on those objectives, we create an exhibition stand design that supports your message and matches the way visitors move through the hall. We look at visibility, routing, demo areas, meeting space and modular opportunities, so the concept works both commercially and practically.

Production and technical preparation

After the design is approved, we move into the production phase. Structural parts, graphics, AV elements, product presentation solutions and finishing materials are prepared in advance in our workshop. This allows the final stand construction for Achema to run more efficiently and reduces the risk of technical issues during installation. It also gives us better control over timing, detailing and the final quality of the stand.

Installation, handover and aftercare

As Achema approaches, we coordinate transport, scheduling and on-site stand construction in Frankfurt according to the exhibition planning. Our team installs the stand, finalises the details, checks the technical components and hands everything over ready for use. After the event, we can also support dismantling, storage and reuse planning, helping you carry the concept forward to future trade shows in Europe.



 
 

Frequently asked questions about stand construction

▶ How much does an exhibition stand or stand build cost?

The cost of stand construction varies per project, because every design, size and concept is unique. At KOP Expo we create a tailored proposal based on your brand objectives, design preferences and desired finish. We also think along with you about smart choices in materials and reuse, so your investment continues to deliver returns in the long term.

▶ How long does stand construction take from design to delivery?

The average lead time for a complete stand construction project is between 16 and 24 weeks. This includes the design phase, technical development, production, assembly and coordination with the trade show organiser. We start well in advance to ensure every detail is right and handover runs smoothly.

▶ What types of exhibition stands are there?

There are different types of exhibition stands, such as inline stands, corner stands, peninsula stands and island stands. Each type has its own advantages in terms of visibility, visitor flow and interaction with visitors. At KOP Expo we design every concept fully bespoke, tailored to the space, target audience and look and feel of your brand.

▶ Is sustainable stand construction possible?

Yes, sustainability is a fixed part of the way we work. We design for reuse, work with circular materials and produce with attention to the environment and efficiency. A sustainable stand is not only better for the planet, it also strengthens your brand image on the exhibition floor.

▶ How do you prepare for a trade fair?

A successful trade fair participation starts with a solid plan: clear goals, the right message and a stand that reinforces your brand. Think about visitor flows, demonstrations and the right team on the stand. KOP Expo supports you in the preparation so your trade fair delivers maximum results.

▶ What is the difference between modular and bespoke stand construction?

A modular stand consists of reusable elements and offers a lot of flexibility for recurring trade fairs. A bespoke stand is fully tailored to your brand and creates a unique appearance. KOP Expo combines the best of both worlds, so your stand is functional, sustainable and distinctive.

Technical demos, AV and product presentation

At Achema, many exhibitors need to explain complex technologies, processes and systems in a clear and convincing way. That makes technical presentation especially important. We integrate AV, screens, lighting and demonstration areas into the exhibition stand so your products and expertise are easier to understand and more engaging for visitors. Everything is prepared in advance so the stand feels reliable, professional and ready for use.

Sustainable stand construction with reuse potential

For brands active in multiple industrial trade shows, sustainability is also about flexibility and smart reuse. KOP develops exhibition stand concepts that can be adapted, reused and refined over time without losing their premium appearance. This helps you build long-term value across your wider trade show calendar. Read more about sustainable stand construction.

Storage, maintenance and next-show planning

After Achema, the stand can continue to create value. We can store components, refresh graphics, manage maintenance and prepare the concept for upcoming trade shows. This makes it easier to move from a one-time execution to a broader exhibition strategy across Germany and Europe.

Designed to support commercial results

A strong exhibition stand should help your team do business, not just create a visual impression. That is why we design around visibility, usability, access and visitor flow. The result is a stand that supports technical conversations, helps guide visitors naturally through the space and creates better opportunities for lead generation and relationship building.

What does stand construction cost?

Stand construction costs depend on the size of the exhibition stand, the level of customisation, material choices, technical features, finishing and logistics. Some exhibitors want a one-time flagship concept, while others prefer a modular stand that can be reused across multiple trade shows. We provide a tailored quotation that makes the investment clear and links it directly to the intended business value of the stand.
