What kubix does

kubix Gesellschaft mbH zur Entwicklung und Produktion temporärer Bauten u. a. is a Berlin-based German private limited company founded in 2001 by Markus Block that designs, plans, and physically realizes temporary structures, exhibition architectures, brand presentations, trade fair stands, and working environments. The company operates with approximately 40 employees organized in interdisciplinary specialist teams and delivers 50-70 custom projects per year for enterprise clients, with an in-house prototype workshop co-located at its Waldemarstraße 33a headquarters in Berlin-Kreuzberg and a separate 3,000 sqm central warehouse on Blockdammweg for storage and logistics. Its core proprietary asset is kxeno, an integral modular wall-and-stand construction system originally developed in 2006 for the European Film Market at the Berlinale and now used repeatedly by clients such as Mercedes-Benz, Deutsche Telekom, Volkswagen, Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, and Schindler Deutschland; a second proprietary product, the unio cantilever bar stool, extends the in-house design portfolio.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees covering creative concept, project management, and technical execution, with pricing determined through client consultations and project scope definitions rather than standardized rate cards. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales combined with a network of agency partnerships (including scenography and architecture firms such as Chezweitz & Roseapple, raumHOCH, Meiré und Meiré, and Atelier Markgraph), with kubix typically serving as the specialist execution partner for high-profile brand, cultural, and institutional installations. Customer segments split between large corporations (notably automotive, fashion, telecom, and tech) and cultural institutions/museums, with a secondary tilt toward event and film-industry clients; the geographic footprint spans DACH and broader Europe (Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain, UK, Ireland, Sweden, Russia). Leadership is shared among founder/CEO Markus Block, co-CEO Axel Roboom, and Managing Directors Fredo van der Helm and David Golda; the firm is privately held with no parent company or institutional investors disclosed.
