Vleugel Expo Interior

What Vleugel Expo Interior does

Vleugel Expo Interior (legal entity: Vleugel Standbouw B.V.) is a Dutch private limited company founded in 1945, currently operating from Naarden in the Netherlands under the ownership of director Allard van de Rhee, who has led the business since 2007. The company delivers two core product lines: standbouw (design, engineering, production, and assembly of custom exhibition stands for trade shows, both domestic and international) and interieurbouw (custom commercial interior construction for retail stores, hospitality venues, offices, and bespoke corporate furniture). Its operational model combines an in-house workshop with specialized furniture makers and modern equipment, supplemented by a network of fixed production partners — most notably Gebroeders de Wilde, with whom Vleugel has shared its Naarden facility since 2024 to bundle production capacity.

The company's underlying technology stack centers on 3D design visualization, a 'gecontroleerde creativiteit' (controlled creativity) methodology that balances distinctive design with practical execution, and the proprietary Live Comm Canvas — an 18-step strategic briefing tool positioned as thought leadership for live communication strategy. Projects are turn-key with a single point of contact from concept through assembly, and the go-to-market is sales-led, with quote requests via the corporate website, direct phone/email contact, and industry reputation. Customer segments span brands and companies with trade show presence (primary), retail and hospitality businesses, corporate offices, and architects/design firms; the company serves both multinationals (e.g., Heineken, Canon, Douwe Egberts, Fokker-GKN Aerospace, ENGIE, Zimmer Biomet) and SMBs. Revenue is generated through one-time, project-based engagements priced on a custom quote basis, with no publicly disclosed pricing or financial metrics. The company is a member of CLC-Vecta, the Dutch trade association for exhibition constructors.
