Melitea Srl

What Melitea Srl does

Melitea Srl is an Italian exhibition design agency, headquartered in Como (Viale Fratelli Rosselli 14), that designs and manages exhibition spaces for B2B clients participating in trade shows and events in Italy and internationally. The firm was founded by Caterina Lovisetti and Saula Pollino, who serve as Co Founders & Directors, and operates as a privately held Società a responsabilità limitata with a registered share capital of €10,000 and no external institutional capital. Its core offering is turnkey exhibition management — from strategic communication planning and creative concept development through space planning, stand construction oversight, hostess selection, and on-site support — bundled into a single point of contact for the client.

The company's customer base spans a broad horizontal range of industries rather than a single vertical, with documented enterprise clients including Caffè Borbone, Didiesse, Novaresine, Raccortubi, Grandi Navi Veloci, Zapi Group, Tenaris, SeAH Wind, Doppel Farmaceutici, DMX Pharma, Gambini, Inox Tech, Vis Industrie Alimentari, Raviolificio Lo Scoiattolo, Barberi Rubinetterie, Valvitalia, Carlsberg Italia, SPIG-GMAB, The Healthea Group, and Pagg Aspäck. Projects are executed at major European trade fairs (HOST, VENDITALIA, CIBUS, TuttoFood, CPHI, ECS, Tube, BAUMA, Wind Energy, OMC, AGRITECHNICA, EIMA, ISH, Beer & Food Attraction, Pollutec, Vitafoods, MARCA, MIAC, IVT, IVS, LOGIMAT and others), with active footprints in Italy, Germany, Spain, France, the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, and Austria.

Melitea generates revenue through professional services under a custom, quote-based pricing model that varies by exhibition size, complexity, location, and scope of work. No pricing tiers are publicly disclosed and no revenue figures are reported. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales augmented by event-driven marketing — the agency itself exhibits at major trade shows to demonstrate its portfolio and processes referrals and repeat engagements to drive new business. The firm also positions a sustainability pillar (#ecomelitea) emphasizing biodegradable accessories and sustainable event practices, and distributes content through its website, an "Extra" blog, and Instagram and LinkedIn profiles.
