About: Who Is Behind This Offering
Two companies, clearly divided roles, one promise: exhibition stands for Cologne and Dusseldorf with published price ranges, binding response times and certified execution.
Messebau Köln und Düsseldorf (German for exhibition stand construction Cologne and Dusseldorf) is operated by Standbuilder International, Inc.; planning and execution by CBS Neospace GmbH, Ratingen, Germany, certified to ISO 9001:2015. This page explains how the two companies work together and why that structure benefits you as an exhibitor.
The roles
Standbuilder International, Inc., based in Atlanta, Georgia (USA), operates and markets this website and takes your inquiries. For international exhibitors, especially from the United States, it is the English-speaking first contact in a US time zone.
CBS Neospace GmbH, Gothaer Str. 15, 40880 Ratingen, Germany, is the exclusive planning and execution partner: it consults, designs, quotes, fabricates in its own workshop, builds up and dismantles, and is your contract partner for the construction work. It operates to ISO 9001:2015 and complies with the regulations of the Cologne and Dusseldorf venues. Ratingen sits between the two fairgrounds: about eight kilometers (five miles) from Messe Dusseldorf, around 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Koelnmesse. The company’s own warehouse in Düren supplies both venues.
The construction work itself is performed exclusively by CBS Neospace GmbH; your contract is concluded directly with them. Standbuilder International, Inc. takes your inquiry and keeps it in its own CRM system so it can support you at international trade fairs beyond Cologne and Dusseldorf; details are in the privacy policy. We state this role split on every page, because clarity about roles is the basis of good cooperation.
What we stand for
- Price transparency before the first call: indicative ranges are published on the rental stands page. That is unusual at these venues; we consider it overdue.
- Binding response times: reply by the next business day, proposal or qualified response within five business days, contractually agreed between the two companies.
- Focus: Cologne and Dusseldorf only. Local knowledge, short distances and rehearsed processes beat a branch office in every city.
- Bilingual delivery: German and English across consulting, planning and documentation.
- No invented merits: we advertise only what is verifiable. References appear after client approval; you will find no decorative star ratings or partner logos without substance here.
Why this structure exists
Trade fair markets are local; exhibitors are increasingly not. At MEDICA, Anuga or gamescom, companies from around the world meet German venue regulations, German build-up schedules and German trades. Combining an international marketing company with a German execution partner bundles both: smooth English-language processes for international clients, and hands-on craftsmanship plus regulatory know-how on the ground. For German clients, nothing changes except clarity: you see from the start who markets and who builds.
