International Exhibiting

Exhibiting at an International Trade Fair? - Nimlok Makes It Easy

Not all “international” exhibition stand suppliers are created equal. Some may simply ship your stand abroad and fly in an installation team, leaving you to navigate complex logistics and local regulations.

Nimlok does things differently. We offer genuinely international bespoke exhibition stand services designed to make exhibiting in the USA, Europe, and beyond as easy and stress-free as exhibiting in the UK.

Many of our UK clients attend multiple shows globally and need a reliable, fully managed solution. With Nimlok’s global network, partners, and expert project teams, we handle every detail — from stand design and production to shipping, local compliance, and on-site installation.

Exhibiting in UK & Europe

From our Wellingborough, UK facility we design, build and deliver projects across Europe. We are equipped with full production and graphic capability along with extensive stand architecture and AV hire inventory.

Exhibiting in Europe

Clients exhibiting in Europe follow exactly the same process with us as our UK exhibitors do. We will create a uniquely designed bespoke exhibition stand for you in the UK and use our European network to deliver it directly to your European venue so you receive the most cost effective process.

Our extensive European experience and resources, including crew and logistics hubs in Germany, Italy and Spain, means we have the edge over other UK exhibition stand contractors. Our euro-hubs offer a network of storage and logistics facilities supported by local crew and located close to many of Europe’s major exhibition venues. This means:

  • You save on transport and handling costs by not having to ship directly to the venue
  • Travel and other time related expenses are reduced through using our local crews
  • You save on further logistical costs like post event storage and onward shipping for pan-European show schedules
  • You are helping the environment

Don’t worry if you haven’t budgeted for changing your look when you next exhibit. You can hire a bespoke exhibition stand that will still be unique in design. Our extensive and diverse hire inventory makes it easy to create an individual design without a big upfront investment and associated costs such as storage.

Exhibiting in USA & Canada

From our Chicago and Las Vegas US facilities, and Toronto, Canadian facility we design build, and deliver projects across the USA and Canada. These facilities are equipped with full production and graphic capability along with extensive hire inventory.

Exhibiting in Australia

Exhibiting in Rest of the World

Beyond the practical and economical reach of our core facilities, Nimlok operates on a design and project management model, using carefully selected and vetted local fabricators (Regional Partners) to produce and install Nimlok designs under close supervision of one of our project managers.

We believe this delivers the best of both worlds, a Nimlok design and experience, combined with a stand produced to exacting local standards whilst also delivering the economical advantage of locally sourced materials and skills.

Worldwide Exhibiting Services

We offer a simple, affordable and stress-free worldwide exhibiting service. Nimlok uses only personally vetted, quality exhibition stand fabricators to deliver a Nimlok designed and managed solution.

Our network of local partners based in Dubai, South Africa, India, China and Singapore enables us to provide you with the easiest and most convenient ways to manage your project under a name you can trust.

Your exhibition stand will be designed and project managed by our UK team. Then working closely with your dedicated UK based project manager, our local partner will deliver, build and dismantle your exhibition stand. This means:

  • Your dedicated UK project manager is your one point of contact throughout the process
  • You receive a Nimlok bespoke exhibition stand with the cutting edge creativity and design you’d expect
  • You work with a consistent, reliable, known and trusted UK company
  • We guide you every step of the way offering expertise with things like regional design rules and considerations
  • You avoid costly shipping
  • The risk of sourcing directly is eliminated but we can still bring you the benefit of local skills and labour rates
  • We offer onsite English speaking liaison for stand sign off
  • You can request your UK project manager attend the build and sign-off

International Exhibiting – Frequently Asked Questions

What support do you offer for UK companies exhibiting in the USA, Canada, or Europe?

We offer fully managed international exhibition services, taking care of everything from stand design and logistics to on-site installation. Whether you’re showcasing in Las Vegas, Toronto, or Frankfurt, our global network ensures your brand is represented seamlessly — with no stress over local compliance or transport.

How do you handle logistics and shipping for overseas trade shows?

We manage end-to-end logistics, including international shipping, customs documentation, warehousing, and installation, onsite order forms and show administration, local manufacture where possible. Our experience exhibiting in North America and Europe ensures your stand arrives on time and in perfect condition, ready for build-up by our trusted local crews.

Can you build my exhibition stand in the USA or Canada?

Yes. In fact we would always recommend you build in America, and store if required for future use, to serve your event programme there. Through our established partner network in North America, we can design in the UK and build locally in the USA or Canada. This reduces shipping costs, shortens lead times, and avoids customs delays, giving you a smoother exhibiting experience.

Will my exhibition stand comply with US or European regulations?

Absolutely. We ensure your stand meets local fire, safety, and venue-specific regulations. Our team is experienced in navigating both North American and European exhibition requirements, so you can focus on your presentation — not the paperwork.

Do you provide support on the day of the show?

Yes, we offer on-site installation and dismantle services through our global partners. For exhibitions in the USA and Canada, we work with local union-approved crews to ensure your stand is professionally installed — with remote or in-person project management available depending on your needs.

Can you help with graphics and branding for international shows?

Definitely. Our in-house graphic production team creates high-impact, event-specific graphics tailored for your audience — and printed to international colour and material standards. Whether you’re reusing UK artwork or starting fresh for a US audience, we’ll ensure your brand makes a strong impression.

What’s the timeline for organising an international exhibition stand?

We recommend starting planning at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for exhibitions outside the UK. This allows time for design approvals, logistics planning, and venue coordination — particularly for major shows in North America and Europe.

How do I get started with international exhibiting?

We’ll guide you through the process with a free consultation, tailored recommendations, and full support to help you exhibit with confidence — anywhere in the world. Simply get in touch. If you’re exhibiting in the US or Canada, talk to our expert Heidi, or by booking a meeting with her.

What Our Clients Say About Our US Expert...

Mitch Cassidy – Slamcore
“First and foremost, thanks so much for your efforts with Manifest and ProMat – everything went brilliantly and I really enjoyed working with Nimlok.”

Kate De La Cruz – Oncam Global
“We hired Nimlok to design, build and install our exhibition stands in the US. Heidi has been brilliant in her in-depth knowledge of working with US companies/laws that are unknown to us here in the UK. She is precise, effective and big-picture oriented, as well as being a lovely person to deal with. I would highly recommend Heidi personally to anyone wanting to engage a company to help them with exhibition stand provision in the US.”

John Lee – Carolina Trade Show Exhibits
“Communicating the myriad details of a stand and everything related to it can be a daunting task under the best circumstances, but it’s even more challenging when it is done long distance. Heidi’s focus and understanding of the difference in UK and US process averts many of the hazards. She’s a great asset!”

Marc Jarvis – iRiS Software
“I worked with Heidi on our company’s largest industry event in the US each year for two years running and on both projects she went above and beyond to ensure each event was a success. Heidi is a pleasure to work with and completely understands the needs and individual requirements of her clients. If you want to get the job done right and throw a flawless event, then I highly recommend Heidi to manage your account!”

Sarah James – Gilbert Gilkes & Gordon
“Heidi has helped me to deliver key exhibition projects globally and always provides creative solutions that deliver against brief and budget. She goes out of her way to ensure that the events we attend run smoothly with logistical arrangements taken care of using expert project management skills.”
