PRO Expo

What PRO Expo does

PRO Expo Exhibits is a privately held, St. Louis-based provider of trade show and event exhibit services operating since 2001. The company designs, fabricates, and produces custom exhibits for trade shows, exhibitions, and corporate events, complemented by an in-house Installation and Dismantling (I&D) crew known as Fusion Expo Services and a network of qualified national partners. Its service stack spans the full event lifecycle: pre-show strategy, custom design, fabrication, logistics and transportation, on-site setup, and post-show performance analysis.

Its core proprietary offering is the T.E.A.M. Program (Total Exhibit Asset Management), a managed-service bundle that includes secure storage, an online inventory portfolio, dynamic shipping coordination, prep and inspection, repairs and refurbishment, and ongoing administrative support. Adjacent to this is the Exhibit-Ready Program, a fulfillment-focused line for lightweight portable assets such as table tops, banner stands, and 10x10 booths aimed at teams running multiple events per month. Supporting technology includes a custom Inventory Management System (IMS) handling thousands of SKUs with real-time monitoring and low-stock alerts, and a Client Portal for self-serve inventory viewing and ordering.

Commercially, PRO Expo runs a sales-led, consultation-based GTM with prominent 'Schedule A Consultation' CTAs and quote-based custom pricing. Revenue is generated through one-time custom exhibit projects, recurring asset management and rental fees, and professional services for logistics, I&D, and strategy. Named clients span government/military (U.S. Army), healthcare, retail, and construction/trades verticals, with case-study engagements including a 500+ piece US Army program, a healthcare client scaled to 167 events in 2023, and a retail POP program processing 3,400+ orders with a 96% satisfaction rate.
