Exhibit-A

What Exhibit-A does

Exhibit A Inc., operating under the brand Exhibit-A, is a full-service custom trade show booth fabricator and event services company headquartered in Arlington, Tennessee. Founded in 1985, the company operates from a 20,000+ square foot facility strategically positioned near the FedEx main distribution center, enabling rapid pre-show staging and direct nationwide shipping of exhibition assets. The business is built around six integrated service modules — Exhibit Design (3D CAD modeling, spatial planning, 3D walkthroughs), Exhibit Build (precision cutting, metal fabrication, fabric graphics, custom carpentry), Tradeshow Coordination, Installation & Dismantle (with dedicated on-site concierge support), Shipping & Storage (climate-controlled), and Corporate Lobbies (permanent brand environment extensions). Core technology is rooted in physical fabrication craft rather than software.

The company sells exclusively through a consultative enterprise field-sales motion, with no product-led, self-serve, or distributor channels. Pricing is custom quote-based, dependent on booth size, materials, complexity, and logistics, and is not publicly disclosed. Its named enterprise customer base spans aerospace (Safran Aerospace), defense/tactical (Daniel Defense), logistics (FedEx), and industrial HVAC (Greenheck), all of whom require complex structural fabrication and high-stakes brand presentation. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding history, or parent entity.

The leadership team is led by President Mickey Cochran and Vice President Tammy Pilkington, supported by a Director of Operations, Art Director, Shop Director, National Accounts Manager, Logistics Manager, and Warehouse Manager. Operationally, the company positions itself as a single-source solution that replaces the need for multiple vendors across design, fabrication, logistics, installation, and storage. Geographic scope is domestic (United States), with marketing primarily executed through a website portfolio of completed enterprise builds and direct quote requests.
