Image-tek Displays & Graphics

What Image-tek Displays & Graphics does

Image-tek Displays & Graphics is a privately held, full-service B2B exhibit house headquartered in Novi, Michigan, founded in 1991 and under consistent ownership since 2001. The company designs, fabricates, and manages custom trade show exhibits, lobby and showroom displays, and related graphic and marketing materials for industrial, manufacturing, equipment, and technology clients across the United States. Its core offerings include Custom Exhibit Design, Graphic Design and Production, Event Planning and Tradeshow Management, Brochures and Marketing Material Design, and National Onsite Installation, Dismantle, and Shipping, supported by an Exhibit Management Program that bundles storage, shipping, and coordination into recurring service contracts, plus add-on Repair/Refurbish and Reconfiguration services.

The company's underlying capability is in-house custom exhibit design and fabrication combined with partnerships with leading display manufacturers, enabling both bespoke and sourced solutions. A physical showroom at the Novi headquarters serves as a design consultation and sales channel, while a nationwide field service team delivers installation and dismantle at trade show venues across the U.S. The technology footprint is modest — a website portfolio, phone/email sales contact, and standard office tooling — with no AI, software platform, or API integrations disclosed.

Commercially, Image-Tek generates revenue through three streams: one-time project fees for custom exhibit design and fabrication, recurring or per-event fees for trade show management services (storage, shipping, I&D coordination), and professional services fees for graphic design and marketing material production. The go-to-market is consultative direct sales targeting enterprise and mid-market companies with trade show programs, primarily through website inquiries, phone/email outreach, and showroom visits. Pricing is custom-quoted per project and not publicly disclosed. The company is owner-managed, has no outside funding or institutional investors, and operates with a small named team of approximately seven people.
