The new STRUCTURES INTERNATIONAL show at Messe Dortmund between 14 and 16 November 2023 will reflect a wide range of European marquees and tentage and will once again bring suppliers, decision-makers and trade visitors together in Dortmund, one of Germany's key logistics hubs. In the second show, this still-new meeting place for the tent and marquee industry is set to showcase an even bigger line-up of temporary structures, industrial, storage and event marquees, giving all involved a perfect starting point for obtaining up-to-date information on the market, cultivating existing business relationships and making new contacts.

Dortmund, 06 March 2023 – STRUCTURES INTERNATIONAL will be taking place for the second time at Messe Dortmund between 14 and 16 November. At its inaugural event last year, this new buyer-meets-seller forum and information platform for the tent and marquee sector succeeded in winning hearts and minds with a wide variety of products. With this in mind, market leaders, top European exhibitors and specialist service providers presented a 360-degree overview of the market for industrial customers from all sectors – including car makers, mechanical engineering businesses and retail chains as well as tent and marquee rental companies.

A short review of the winning début

The new flagship trade show presented a number of product highlights, innovative solutions and some world firsts in the tent and marquee industry. A total of 60 exhibitors came to the first show, including global players such as RÖDER Zelt und Veranstaltungsservice, HTS TentiQ, HR-Structures, Oostdam Flexzelt International, Eurostretchtents Deutschland, Skyliner and Stadur Productions GmbH. In addition to marquees and tentage, portable buildings and roofing, 1,800 participants – more than a third of whom had travelled in from other European countries – were also able to discover more on design variants and equipment options.

Big-name brands from home and abroad

A lot of suppliers have now booked their stands again for the next show, including FAGSI Vertriebs- und Vermietungs GmbH, one of the leading suppliers of portable buildings and container-style modular buildings with branches in Germany, France and Switzerland. REMKO GmbH & Co. KG, which operates across Europe and is one of the key providers of mobile warm-air heating systems, dehumidifiers, air-conditioning systems, room air-conditioning units and heat pumps, will also be exhibiting again. Modular supplier FloorStak / The Regent Engineering will be coming over from the UK. Its products bridge height differences in the terrain and quickly provide additional space – even if underlying surfaces are uneven. TERRAGUIDE GmbH will also be back showing mobile surface and floor protection products for all indoor and outdoor requirements. TOMOBIL Tec will also be back with a wide range of mobile restroom systems in a wide variety of designs. New exhibitors will include Sonlux Lighting with high-quality mobile lighting for use by manufacturers, tradespeople, security organisations and event organisers.

Knowledge transfer, trends and dialogue live on stage: beyond the trade show experience, the leading trade magazine in the tent and marquee sector, zeltundco, which is conceptual partner to STRUCTURES INTERNATIONAL, will be organising a high-added-value supporting programme featuring industry experts and specialists on the current challenges facing the industry.
