So your team coordinates as little as possible internally, we group planning, build and on-site support into three clear steps.
The starting point only needs the essentials: what the presence should achieve, how large the floor area is and how tight the timing is.
From there it gets quick: whether EXPRESS is the more economic fit or whether EXFAIR offers more leverage for brand, visitor flow and impact.
Production, setup, dismantling and the coordination around the presence get organized so your team stays unburdened.
Two examples for fast, clearly structured EXPRESS booths. Two examples for more custom EXFAIR projects with stronger brand impact.
Clear product booth with a strong graphic wall and a quick decision logic.
Focused presence with a tall back wall and a clear product message.
Technical brand space with clear product staging and a meeting situation.
High-impact product booth with long-distance visibility and clear brand presence.
Dates for planning your trade show presence. A first enquiry works best 8–12 weeks before the fair starts.

Messe Dortmund in the Westfalenhallen relies on its own trade fairs with a clearly defined audience: InterTabac for the tobacco industry drew more than 800 exhibitors in 2025 and runs in September alongside InterSupply for the production chain. Jagd & Hund filled nine halls with more than 700 exhibitors in February 2026, and CREATIVA for creative crafts brought together around 420 companies in 2026. boe international for event technology and elektrotechnik add two technical trade events.
For booth planning: The formats differ considerably: InterTabac and elektrotechnik are pure B2B events with dense conversations, while Jagd & Hund and CREATIVA draw large public crowds. Anyone exhibiting at both needs two stand concepts, not one.

In 2025, 14,500 trade visitors from around 80 countries came to over 800 exhibitors from around 70 countries; the next edition takes place from 14 to 16 September 2027.

The questions that come up most often for a quick orientation, a clear brief and a professional presence at Messe Dortmund.
When time, budget clarity and a fast decision process matter, EXPRESS Booth is usually the right fit. For custom architecture, larger floor areas and stronger brand staging, EXFAIR is the better path.
EXPRESS Booth fits when a Messe Dortmund presence should be delivered fast, with clear pricing and low coordination effort. It works especially well when clear packages, short paths and an efficient booth structure matter more than maximum customization.
EXFAIR is the better choice when the booth should be planned strategically: custom architecture, brand impact, visitor flow, product staging and a solution tailored more tightly to brand and conversations.
Helpful inputs are the goal of the presence, planned floor area, timing, desired impact, existing graphics or systems, technical requirements and whether you're leaning toward a fast fixed-price path or a custom brand space.
Main factors are floor area, level of customization, graphics, technology, logistics, setup, dismantling, on-site support and the potential to reuse existing elements. As a benchmark, EXPRESS booths start at €5,999 net fixed price per show (companies based outside Germany pay no German VAT), including set-up, dismantling, wall graphics and flooring. Custom EXFAIR brand spaces are quoted per project because these factors combine differently each time.
Yes. We cover design, technical implementation, graphic production, logistics and the actual coordination around the Dortmund presence, so internal coordination for marketing, sales and project leads stays low.
At Messe Dortmund, six leading trade fairs shape the calendar: InterTabac (Tobacco products & smoking accessories, annual); InterSupply (Tobacco production & supply, annual); Jagd & Hund (Hunting, hunting dogs & angling, annual); CREATIVA (Creative crafts & handicrafts, annual); boe international (Event & live communication, annual); elektrotechnik (Electrical, building & energy technology, every two years). The next confirmed dates are listed in the trade fair calendar on this page, with details on each fair in the section Leading trade fairs in detail.
InterTabac is held annual. The next edition runs from 14 to 16 September 2027. An EXPRESS booth needs little lead time: quote within 24 hours, set-up in one day. A custom EXFAIR brand space needs considerably more time for concept, 3D planning and production; the earlier floor area and stand type are fixed, the more room remains for design.
The formats differ considerably: InterTabac and elektrotechnik are pure B2B events with dense conversations, while Jagd & Hund and CREATIVA draw large public crowds. Anyone exhibiting at both needs two stand concepts, not one. The venue has 9 halls with 60,000 m² of hall space and 61,000 m² of outdoor area. From Dortmund main station, light rail line U45 reaches the Westfalenhallen stop in around 10 minutes, and from the city centre the U46 in about 5 minutes; alternatively take the U42 to Theodor-Fliedner-Heim. The technical guidelines of Messe Dortmund are binding: hall heights, floor loads, rigging and delivery windows come from those documents and are checked per project before the stand is planned.
Yes. Planning, production, set-up and dismantling happen locally at Messe Dortmund, so where your company is based does not change the process; only your team and exhibits travel to Dortmund.

No. Companies based outside Germany are invoiced without German VAT, within the EU under the reverse-charge procedure, which requires a valid VAT ID. The treatment is stated in the quote.
Yes. Besides the booth, shipping your exhibits to Messe Dortmund and customs clearance are organised as part of the project, so products arrive on the stand in time for the show.
