Messe Dusseldorf: Booth Construction for Exhibitors

Messe Dusseldorf is home ground: our executing partner is based in Ratingen, about eight kilometers from the halls. For world-leading fairs with tight build-up windows, that distance is the advantage.

Messe Dusseldorf offers around 262,700 m² of hall space in 17 halls plus roughly 43,000 m² of outdoor grounds by the Rhine, hosting world-leading fairs such as MEDICA, boot, ProWein, drupa, K, ALUMINIUM and glasstec. Messebau Köln und Düsseldorf (German for exhibition stand construction Cologne and Dusseldorf) is operated by Standbuilder International, Inc.; every Messe Dusseldorf trade show booth is planned and built by CBS Neospace GmbH, headquartered in Ratingen, about eight kilometers (five miles) from the fairgrounds, with warehouse stock in Düren.

Messe Dusseldorf logistics: what matters for exhibitors

  • Timed check-in. Deliveries run through the venue’s gate slot system with holding areas. Being 15 minutes away makes slots plannable; when a window shifts, the truck is still on time.
  • Same-day resupply. A missing panel, graphic or piece of furniture arrives from Düren the same day during build-up, which is what keeps the tight schedules of world-leading fairs on track.
  • Orders and permits. Power, water, internet, compressed air, rigging points, statics and permit-relevant structures run through Messe Dusseldorf’s systems, with deadlines typically four to eight weeks ahead. CBS Neospace files everything on time and documents it for you in English.

Exhibitors at Messe Dusseldorf are free to choose their own booth builder; the venue’s technical guidelines are binding, and CBS Neospace is responsible for meeting them. Messe Düsseldorf GmbH operates the fairgrounds; we describe it here purely as a venue.

Key shows at the venue

Dedicated pages with dates, timelines and costs exist for MEDICA, boot, ALUMINIUM and glasstec; ProWein, CARAVAN SALON and the multi-year capital goods fairs such as drupa, K, interpack and wire and Tube are listed with dates in the German fair calendar. The Dusseldorf page covers the location advantage in detail.

Frequently asked questions

Can we choose our own booth builder at Messe Dusseldorf?

Yes. The choice of exhibition stand builder is the exhibitor’s; the venue’s technical guidelines on materials, build heights, statics and permits are binding. CBS Neospace knows these procedures from years of projects, including MEDICA and boot.

What does proximity to the venue actually change?

Three things: gate slots stay plannable even when they shift, decisions happen at the booth instead of over the phone, and missing items arrive from the Düren warehouse the same day. During the short build-up windows of world-leading fairs, that is the difference between routine and panic.

Do you handle statics and permits for large booths?

Yes. Double-deck builds, suspended constructions and permit-relevant structures are engineered with statics and filed through Messe Dusseldorf’s approval procedures; CBS Neospace tracks the deadlines within your project.
