What Custom Creations does

CCI Exhibits is a privately held custom fabrication shop founded in 1995 and headquartered in Racine, Wisconsin. The company designs, builds, sets up, ships, and stores custom trade show exhibits, pop-up displays, in-store kiosks, product prototypes, and commercial cabinets for enterprise customers. Its named clients include TwinDisc, Emerson, and InSinkErator, with engagements ranging from individual fixtures to a 100-foot booth setup for Emerson.

The business operates a vertically integrated, single-facility model: an in-house design team uses 2D and 3D design tools to convert client sketches and specifications into build plans, and a fabrication shop equipped with a professional spray paint booth, assembly stations, and crating/shipping infrastructure produces finished exhibits at any size or shape. CCI also provides on-site setup, post-event storage at its Racine facility, and expedited shipping, positioning itself as a one-stop alternative to multi-vendor exhibit sourcing.

CCI generates revenue through project-based, quote-only engagements with no publicly disclosed pricing or recurring contracts. Distribution is direct sales by phone and email, with brand awareness driven through LinkedIn and Facebook. The company is founder-owned (co-founders Jeff Wiesner and Tom Pulice, partner Abe Duchac) with no external institutional capital, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed headcount. Geographic scope is limited to Midwest USA, with no global footprint claims.
