Sonepar in-house exhibition

With an optimized event concept, Sonepar once again invited to the popular partner meeting this year under the motto “Holistic solutions for your success”. In implementing the revised trade fair concept, the electrical wholesaler relied on Artlife’s many years of expertise in the field of overall support for in-house exhibitions.

The two-day industry events offered trade visitors from trade, trade and industry a platform for knowledge transfer on technical innovations and practice-oriented solutions in the electrical industry. After the kick-off in Augsburg in February, further events followed in Bochum and Hanover until mid-May, each with around 200 exhibitors.

As part of the optimisation approach, Sonepar relied on a central trade fair construction partner for the first time. In addition to efficient and uniform implementation, the reduction of set-up and dismantling times and central storage and logistics, the decisive factors for this were above all that the topic of sustainability could be brought into focus.

Instead of producing new stand material for each location, Sonepar and Artlife relied on reusing and revising the existing stand modules. The use of Aluvision system material, paper Molo Walls and modular construction also allowed flexibility in the design of different spaces and requirements at the respective venues. In this way, the consumption of resources could be significantly reduced.

We were responsible for the stand construction for the Sonepar stands as well as for selected partner stands at all three locations – including logistics, storage and reprocessing of the material used. Our tasks also included looking after exhibitors who had booked stand construction packages via an ordering system.
