MESSEBAUKÖLN UND DÜSSELDORF

Exhibition Stands in Dusseldorf

Messe Dusseldorf hosts some of the world’s most important trade fairs. Our executing partner is based in Ratingen, a few kilometers from the halls, which changes what is possible during your build-up.

Messebau Köln und Düsseldorf (German for exhibition stand construction Cologne and Dusseldorf) is operated by Standbuilder International, Inc.; every Dusseldorf stand is planned and built by CBS Neospace GmbH of Ratingen, Germany, certified to ISO 9001:2015. For Dusseldorf projects, geography is a genuine advantage: Ratingen borders Dusseldorf, about eight kilometers (five miles) from the fairgrounds as the crow flies, roughly a 15-minute drive via the A44 highway.

Why proximity matters during build-up

Trade fair construction is logistics under time pressure. Gate slots are scheduled, hall aisles are crowded, and anything missing has to arrive fast:

  • Same-day resupply: a missing panel, graphic or piece of furniture comes from our own warehouse stock in Düren, not from a vendor across the country.
  • Same-day changes: swap a graphic, add a counter, fix a damaged element during build-up without blowing the schedule.
  • Reliable delivery slots: short distances make Messe Dusseldorf’s timed check-in system manageable even when slots shift.
  • Lower logistics cost: short hauls reduce freight cost and the risk of expensive express runs.

Between two shows, your booth or graphics can stay in storage in Düren, ready to go for the next build-up.

Messe Dusseldorf in numbers

The venue offers around 262,700 m² of hall space in 17 halls plus roughly 43,000 m² of outdoor grounds by the Rhine. Its calendar includes world-leading fairs:

  • MEDICA (medical technology, annually in November): most recently more than 5,000 exhibitors and around 80,000 trade visitors; November 16 to 19, 2026
  • boot (watersports, annually in January): around 1,500 exhibitors across 16 halls; January 23 to 31, 2027
  • ProWein (wines and spirits): March 7 to 9, 2027
  • ALUMINIUM (aluminium industry, October 6 to 8, 2026) and glasstec (the world’s leading glass industry fair, October 20 to 23, 2026): the next big capital goods dates, each with its own page covering timeline and costs
  • drupa, K, interpack, wire and Tube, A+A: more capital goods fairs in multi-year cycles

Each fair has its own build-up windows, logistics rules and design regulations. CBS Neospace knows the Dusseldorf procedures from years of projects, including MEDICA and boot, and handles registrations, permits and venue orders for you, documented in English.

Frequently asked questions

Do you build for every trade fair at Messe Dusseldorf?

Yes, for all events at the venue, from MEDICA, boot and ProWein to drupa, K and guest events at the CCD congress center. CBS Neospace handles the specific regulations and paperwork of each fair for you.

Do you build exhibition stands for ALUMINIUM 2026 and glasstec 2026?

Yes, for both. ALUMINIUM 2026 runs October 6 to 8, 2026 (800+ exhibitors and 20,000+ trade visitors expected), glasstec 2026 follows October 20 to 23, 2026 (most recently 1,257 exhibitors from 49 countries). Both take place at Messe Dusseldorf, a 15-minute drive from the team’s base in Ratingen; rental and custom trade show booths are available for both dates, handled in English throughout.

How close are you to the Dusseldorf fairgrounds?

CBS Neospace is headquartered in Ratingen, about eight kilometers (five miles) from the fairgrounds as the crow flies, roughly a 15-minute drive via the A44; its warehouse in Düren supplies both venues from own stock. That setup is what makes same-day fixes and resupply during build-up realistic.

What does a booth at Messe Dusseldorf cost?

Indicatively: customized rental stands about 400 to 800 EUR per m² of construction, custom builds from about 800 EUR per m², plus venue space rental, which varies by fair. A complete 50 m² MEDICA presence including space, booth, staff and travel typically lands between 52,000 and 63,000 EUR. Binding numbers come with the quote from CBS Neospace after your inquiry.

Can you support a US company exhibiting at MEDICA for the first time?

Yes, that is a core use case: consulting on space and booth type, design, venue registrations, construction and on-site support, coordinated in English with Standbuilder International as your first contact. You focus on your products and meetings; the processes are covered.

Do you also serve exhibitors in Cologne?

Yes, Cologne and Dusseldorf are our two home venues, less than 40 kilometers apart. One team covering both venues from its own warehouse stock, one process for everything. The English homepage summarizes the Cologne side.
