MESSEBAUKÖLN UND DÜSSELDORF

ALUMINIUM 2026 Booth Builder in Dusseldorf

ALUMINIUM is the global meeting point of the aluminium industry, and it takes place practically next door: our executing partner is based in Ratingen, a few kilometers from the Dusseldorf fairgrounds.

ALUMINIUM 2026 runs October 6 to 8, 2026 at the Dusseldorf fairgrounds, gathering the industry’s entire value chain: raw material, processing, machinery, surface technology and recycling. More than 800 exhibitors and over 20,000 trade visitors are expected. Messebau Köln und Düsseldorf (German for exhibition stand construction Cologne and Dusseldorf) is operated by Standbuilder International, Inc.; your ALUMINIUM trade show booth is planned and built by CBS Neospace GmbH of Ratingen, ISO 9001:2015 certified, about eight kilometers (five miles) from the halls with its own warehouse in Düren.

Built for industrial exhibitors

  • A contact in your time zone. Standbuilder International, Inc. (Atlanta) takes your inquiry and stays your English-speaking counterpart throughout the project.
  • Heavy exhibits, planned properly. Aluminium-industry exhibits are often heavy or bulky. Floor loads, delivery routes, machine placement and any statics or permit procedures are engineered in from day one.
  • Venue paperwork covered. Orders and permits with Messe Dusseldorf (power, compressed air, rigging, passes) are handled by CBS Neospace within your project, on deadline.
  • Same-day resupply. During the short build-up window, missing parts arrive from the warehouse in Düren the same day, not from a vendor across the country.

Your timeline to October 6, 2026

As of July 2026, the realistic route to ALUMINIUM 2026 is a rental exhibition booth with six to ten weeks of lead time:

  1. Now: inquiry via the contact form with hall, booth size and budget range; response by the next business day.
  2. By early August: concept, 3D view and quote within five business days; contract with CBS Neospace GmbH.
  3. August: artwork and print approvals, venue orders and permits with Messe Dusseldorf.
  4. September: rental system preparation, graphics production, logistics planning.
  5. Early October: build-up per the venue schedule, turnkey handover before October 6, dismantling after close on October 8.

A fully custom build is only feasible for 2026 in exceptional cases; ask anyway and you will get an honest assessment. For the next ALUMINIUM edition, custom booths run on the regular three to six months of lead time.

What an ALUMINIUM booth costs

Dusseldorf ranges apply: customized rental stands about 400 to 800 EUR per m² of construction, custom builds from about 800 EUR per m², plus Messe Dusseldorf space rental. A complete 20 m² rental package typically runs 9,000 to 18,000 EUR. Published ranges by size are on the rental stands page.
