Octanorm stand builders

Octanorm is one of the most widespread modular systems at European trade shows. It uses aluminium uprights and beams that lock together quickly and carry panels, graphics and ceilings. It is the basis of many shell scheme stands supplied by shows themselves and of lightweight design stands.

In short

Octanorm is a German modular system of aluminium profiles and panels, widely used for shell scheme stands and fast-build exhibition spaces. Building it well takes a crew that knows its profiles, joints and grids.

Advantages

  • Fast build-up and breakdown
  • Reusable from show to show
  • Parts and suppliers widely available
  • Ideal for rows of stands and congress spaces

Things to bear in mind

  • More standard look unless combined with other materials
  • Less suited to curves or very unusual structures
