What Metro Exhibits does

Metro Exhibits LLC, founded in 2008 and headquartered in Pine Brook, New Jersey, is a privately held full-service trade show exhibit solutions provider serving clients from Fortune 100 enterprises to early-stage startups. The company designs, fabricates, sells, and rents custom trade show booths and portable displays, and supports them with a complete service suite covering exhibit design, fabrication, large-format printing, graphic design, project management, shipping and logistics, storage and warehousing, installation and dismantle, and international exhibiting for clients showing in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. A notable technology component is MetroPlus, a cloud-based self-service portal that lets clients manage ordering, shipping, storage, maintenance, and event bookings across multiple locations. Sub-brands include Metro Swag (promotional products) and adjunct service lines in Corporate Interiors and Event Environments.

Revenue is generated through four streams: one-time custom exhibit sales, recurring custom booth rentals, professional services (installation, project management, shipping, storage, event management), and hardware sales of portable displays. The go-to-market is sales-led, with dedicated exhibit specialists and assigned project managers running the client from initial discovery through show completion, paired with marketing through the company website, blog, email, organic social (LinkedIn, Instagram), SEO, and a content partnership with boothdesignideas.com. Operations are supported by three full-service warehouse facilities in Pine Brook NJ, Las Vegas, and Orlando that enable nationwide shipping coverage and on-time delivery. The company has served thousands of exhibitors across pharmaceutical, technology, retail, healthcare, beverage, and other sectors, with named enterprise clients including Google, Coca-Cola, KPMG, Amazon AWS, Celgene, and Heineken.
