Alternatively, as these shows are new events for you, you could hire the additional components from our standard hire inventory.

Nimlok offer a number of solutions to the design of a custom modular exhibition stand. By using locking extrusions and large format digital fabric graphics you can achieve a modern and stylish look that is unique to your company with intensive graphic coverage.
