M&J Innovations

What M&J Innovations does

M&J Innovations is a private, founder-owned Union General Contractor providing trade show and event production services across the United States. Founded in 2001 by Michael Harrigan and headquartered at 385 Chestnut Street in Norwood, New Jersey, the company operates from a 40,000 sq. ft. warehouse and serves exhibitors, exhibition companies, and show organizers with particular concentration in the New York Metro Area, Las Vegas, and Atlanta.

The company's core offering is a five-service suite covering Hard-Wall Booth Options (custom design, fabrication, installation, shipping, and long-term storage), Installation & Dismantling, Transportation & Storage, Event Hosting (using its warehouse), and Event Production. It functions simultaneously as a trade show consultancy and as a general contractor, managing union labor, logistics, and on-site execution. Client work spans Fortune 100 enterprises (Hasbro, Nike, Macy's, Philips Applied Technologies) through mid-market and SMB exhibitors across toys, food and beverage, healthcare technology, retail, and manufacturing verticals.

M&J generates revenue through professional services billed on a quote-based, project-by-project basis, supported by a network of channel partnerships with exhibit houses (Skyline New York) and show organizers (OutSource World Show, JA New York) that provide referral flow. Marketing is relationship-driven via direct sales, partner referrals, and an Instagram presence showcasing completed projects; no public pricing, subscription tiers, or app-based products exist.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• GES (Global Experience Specialists): GES is a major global trade show and event services company providing general contractor services, exhibit design, logistics, and on-site support. Like Freeman, it competes with M&J for enterprise booth services and represents the scaled-incumbent model M&J is disrupting.
• Freeman: Freeman is the largest U.S. trade show general contractor and exhibit services provider, offering booth design, I&D labor, logistics, and event production nationwide. M&J positions itself as a more agile, client-service-focused alternative to "antiquated industry giants" — Freeman is the prototypical incumbent giant.

Direct peers

• The Expo Group: The Expo Group provides trade show exhibits, corporate events, and general contractor services including custom booth design and on-site management. A peer of comparable size and service scope to M&J, particularly for B2B trade show clients.
• Sparks (The Sparks Group): Sparks is a global experiential marketing agency that produces trade shows, events, exhibits, and brand activations. Comparable in combining booth fabrication with broader event production — similar integrated service model to M&J.
• Derse: Derse is a full-service exhibit and event marketing company providing design, fabrication, I&D, and warehousing. Comparable mid-to-large general contractor competing in the same enterprise trade show services space as M&J.
• 3D Exhibits: 3D Exhibits is a trade show and event design-build firm offering custom exhibits, I&D, warehousing, and event production. Direct peer with a comparable mid-sized, full-service general contractor model targeting enterprise exhibitors.
• Hamilton Exhibits: Hamilton Exhibits provides custom exhibit design, fabrication, and on-site services for trade shows and corporate events. A peer of similar size with the integrated booth-to-storage service model M&J operates.
• MC2: MC2 is an exhibit and experiential marketing company that designs, fabricates, and manages trade show programs, corporate events, and permanent installations. Closely comparable to M&J's end-to-end booth and event production model for enterprise clients.
• Czarnowski Display Services: Czarnowski is a long-standing exhibit and display services firm offering custom booth fabrication, I&D, warehousing, and event production. Directly comparable to M&J across the full services stack — booth design, union labor, storage, and event hosting.

Others

• Skyline Exhibits: Skyline Exhibits designs and fabricates custom trade show exhibits and works with regional I&D partners — including M&J (TSM Skyline is listed as a channel partner). They are both a partner and an adjacent competitor in the same ecosystem of booth services providers.
