Exhibition Stand Builders for Automechanika Istanbul

Product areas

The organiser groups exhibitors into product areas. For recent editions these have included:

• Parts and components (drive, chassis, body, interior and exterior parts)
• Electrics, electronics and lighting
• Diagnostics, repair and workshop equipment
• Accessories, tuning and customising
• Car wash and care, lubricants and service-station equipment
• Dealer and workshop management, IT and alternative drive systems

Product areas and hall plans can change from one edition to the next. Check the current list on the official website when you plan where your stand should be.

Stand size and square metres

Start from what has to fit on the stand: product displays, demo equipment, a meeting area, a storage room and a reception counter. A stand builder can then propose a layout for your booked area. When you request quotes, give the exact dimensions (for example 6 × 8 m = 48 m²), not only the total area, because the shape changes the design.

According to the organiser's exhibitor information, ready-made booth packages are offered only for stands up to 24 m² with one or two open sides. Larger or more individual stands are usually built on raw space by a stand contractor.

Number of open sides

Whether your space is a row stand (one open side), a corner stand (two), a peninsula (three) or an island (four open sides) affects the design, the walls you need, how visitors flow through the stand and the price. Tell stand builders the open sides and, if you have it, attach the hall plan showing your neighbours and aisles.

Design and production

Decide whether you need design and production, production of an existing design, or a reusable system stand you can take to other fairs. For product-heavy stands, plan display heights, load-bearing shelves and lockable storage for samples. If you are considering a second storey, note that the organiser's terms have set conditions for double-deck stands — check the current terms for the minimum stand size and coverage limits and allow extra time for approval.

Graphics and LED screens

Brand walls, product graphics and large-format prints are normally produced by the stand builder. If you want LED walls or screens, give the approximate size and what will be shown (video loops, live demos, presentations). Screens affect the power requirement and the structure that holds them, so mention them early.

Electricity, lighting and technical services

Power connections, compressed air, water and internet are usually ordered through the organiser's or venue's service channels, sometimes with deadlines. Agree with your stand builder who orders what and whether the cost is in their quote. Demonstrating workshop equipment or lifts may need extra power, compressed air or floor loading — check these with the organiser before you commit to a design.

Build-up and dismantling plan

For 2027 the organiser's exhibitor information lists build-up from 21 March (11:00) to 23 March (22:00) and dismantling from 27 March (17:30) to 28 March (12:00). These windows can change; confirm them in the Exhibitor Service Manual. A realistic plan includes delivery slots, crew size, the time needed to install graphics and electrics, a final cleaning, and who is on site for the hand-over.

Organiser approvals

The organiser's terms and conditions require stand designs with technical drawings to be submitted for approval in advance — they mention at least two months before the fair — and state that designs without written approval may not be built. The exhibitor remains responsible for compliance with the participation terms, the Exhibitor Service Manual and Turkish building regulations. The terms also ask stand contractors to show third-party liability insurance at build-up. Ask your stand builder who prepares and submits the drawings.

Transport and on-site logistics

Products, demo equipment and stand materials have to reach the hall within the build-up window. If you exhibit from abroad, plan customs and temporary import early and ask whether your stand builder works with a forwarder. On site, consider forklift and handling services, storage of empty packaging and access times for trucks.
