What P&M does

P&M Präsentation und Medientechnik GmbH is a German trade fair construction company (Messebauer) headquartered in Haigerloch, Baden-Württemberg, that has operated continuously since 1984. Its core business is the design, construction, rental, and storage of custom exhibition stands for B2B clients participating in trade shows, primarily across Germany and secondarily across Europe. The company positions itself as a full-service provider, running the entire booth lifecycle from initial consulting on fair selection and stand size, through concept development, binding planning, photorealistic 3D visualization, in-house production, transport, on-site setup, dismantling, and inter-event storage of reusable components.

The operation is vertically integrated around a 12,000 sqm facility containing in-house carpentry, metalworking, paint shop, graphics, and large-format digital printing, supplemented by an owned vehicle fleet spanning Sprinter vans through 40-ton semi-trailers for in-house material transport. Beyond trade fair construction, P&M extends the same modular service stack into Ladenbau (store fitting and retail interior construction), targeting retail and showroom customers. Product breadth includes custom-designed stands, mobile exhibition booths, and system booths built on SYMA, Meroform, and Octanorm frameworks, available under both rental and purchase models.

Commercially, P&M operates a direct-to-customer, project-based model with quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts disclosed for some engagements. Revenue streams span one-time custom construction, recurring rental of modular stands, and subscription-style recurring storage fees on owned stand components, augmented by professional services for transport, setup/dismantling, and consulting. Go-to-market is exclusively direct sales supported by an SEO-driven location-specific landing page strategy targeting German trade show venues, with no third-party channel partners and no publicly named customers in the source material. The legal entity is a privately held German GmbH with no parent company, institutional investors, or public listing disclosed.
