What Studio Damböck does

Atelier Damböck Messebau GmbH (operating as Studio Damböck) is a German premium provider of custom trade show booth design, construction, and event services founded in 1975 in Neufinsing near Munich. The company delivers end-to-end live-marketing solutions spanning Messedesign (creative concept), Messebau (physical construction), Kommunikationsdesign (graphic production), Events (corporate events, shareholder meetings, roadshows), Hybrid-Kommunikation, and Virtuelle Räume (virtual brand environments). Its underlying production model combines conventional booth construction (konventioneller Messebau) with in-house craftspeople — carpenters, metalworkers, and electricians — backed by 20,000 m² of consolidated workshop, warehouse, and CNC production capacity following the 2023 Vilshofen acquisition. Supporting offerings include Besucherstromanalyse (visitor flow analysis), the greenstands climate-neutral booth initiative, and an online trade show furniture rental catalog.

Studio Damböck generates revenue primarily through project-based contracts for custom booth construction and professional services fees for event organization, supplemented by transaction-based rental income from the Möbelkatalog furniture portal. Pricing reflects a premium B2B positioning with enterprise field sales conducted through 11 direct offices across Germany, Austria, Italy, and China, targeting large enterprises with international trade show presence. The group comprises 10 operating entities — including blu donau (Austria, 2019), Shanghai I+S (China, 2016), DreiPlus/dieKüchenSchreiner (Vilshofen, 2023), and the newly acquired DekoHeiden (Oktoberfest/event decoration, Feb 2026) — and counts Rodenstock, STRABAG, ISOCELL, Salesforce, Sandoz, BHS tabletop, Silhouette, and Galápagos among its enterprise clients, with 15,000+ trade show appearances completed across 280+ venues in 35 countries.
