Sustainability

…not through individual measures, but through the continuous development of our products, processes and services.

For us, sustainability means taking responsibility – by using resources responsibly and continuously improving the way we operate. We regard sustainability as a process of continuous improvement. Our objective is to use resources efficiently, keep materials in use for as long as possible, and continuously improve our processes.

Our rental furniture and modular system components are designed for a long service life, repairability and repeated use. Our in-house workshops carry out maintenance, repairs and custom-made modifications.

As a full-service provider, we combine planning, exhibition stand construction, rental furniture, logistics and workshop services. This enables us to consolidate transport operations, reduce interfaces and coordinate processes efficiently.

Mobility | Logistics | Packaging

expofair operates its own vehicle fleet and employs its own drivers. When purchasing new delivery vehicles, we consider the latest technology as well as fuel efficiency and emissions. Regular maintenance and cooperation with qualified service partners ensure reliable and efficient operations.

Our fleet is specifically designed for the event industry. Tail lifts, customised fittings and transport fixtures enable safe loading, efficient vehicle utilisation and optimised transport processes.

Transport planning is project- and product-specific. By coordinating loading, delivery, installation and dismantling, we consolidate transport operations, maximise vehicle capacity and avoid unnecessary journeys.

Where appropriate, single-use packaging is replaced with reusable transport covers, custom-made protective systems and transport crates manufactured in our own workshops.

Service, Performance and Product Development

When selecting rental furniture, we focus on durability, functionality and reusability. Many products feature lightweight construction, helping reduce transport weight and optimise vehicle capacity. Most furniture is stackable and modular, enabling efficient storage and transport. Temporary structures are primarily built using modular exhibition systems and timber stage construction, allowing key components to be reused many times.

Exhibition Construction | Reuse and Material Cycles

Walls and decorative elements are inspected, cleaned and prepared for reuse after every event. Residual materials are reused wherever possible. System construction materials remain in use for as long as possible. Damaged aluminium profiles are repurposed into other components. Our System Support 2500, for example, can be converted into shorter supports, frames or panel grids. Rental furniture that is no longer suitable for our rental inventory but remains usable is donated to social or charitable organisations.

Printing and Materials for Exhibition Walls

Forex boards are printed on both sides to maximise their service life. Banner materials that can no longer be reused at events are, wherever possible, passed on to companies that manufacture new products from them. Materials that can no longer be reused are disposed of through appropriate waste management channels.

Digitalisation | Communication

We continuously develop our digital business processes. Digital document management and largely paperless accounting reduce paper-based workflows. Our logistics processes are also highly digitalised: from warehouse picking and route planning to delivery and collection, all order-related information is handled digitally. Drivers receive route information and delivery documents on mobile devices, while progress and status updates are captured in real time. This enables largely paperless operations both in the warehouse and on the road. Video conferencing and digital collaboration tools support efficient communication with customers, partners and employees.

Waste management

Waste prevention begins with the planning of our packaging and transport solutions. We use custom-made reusable transport covers, protective sleeves and transport crates instead of single-use packaging wherever possible. Packaging materials and transport aids are reused whenever feasible. Materials that can no longer be reused are collected separately and disposed of through the appropriate waste management channels.
