Exhibit Logistics

What Exhibit Logistics does

Exhibit Logistics is a Cincinnati, Ohio-based trade show and exhibit services company founded in 2006 by Andy Dean following his experience with fragmented trade show logistics for a large global client. Operating with a reported headcount of 101-250 employees, the company provides an integrated portfolio spanning portable and modular display hardware (banner stands, collapsible fabric displays, outdoor displays, and sign systems), modular exhibit systems, in-house large-format digital printing, custom booth design and fabrication, warehouse and logistics management, on-site set-up and teardown services, and corporate event planning.

The company's technology stack centers on advanced in-house printing capability, including a 126-inch Dover Digital Printing (DDP) IMPRES grand-format printer, a Roland LEJ-640 UV hybrid printer with 60-inch maximum width, CALDERA RIP software, and JK Group dye-sublimation inks, supported by in-house finishing for zippers, SEG graphics, hemmed edges, pole pockets, and pillowcase graphics. A proprietary browser-based platform, Exhibit Manager™, provides 24/7/365 trade show property inventory tracking, file management, and brand consistency monitoring. Operations are anchored by a large dedicated Cincinnati warehouse used for customer asset storage, rental inventory, and pull-and-prep services, with logistics coordination extending globally across hundreds of worldwide show locations.

Go-to-market is hybrid: a self-serve e-commerce storefront serves SMB and individual buyers purchasing standardized portable display products, while custom booth design, large-format printing, trade show management, and event planning are delivered through consultative sales engagements with Exhibit Consultants and quote-based pricing. Revenue mixes one-time product and printing sales with professional services (event planning, on-site labor supervision, union and paperwork management) and recurring managed warehouse and freight services. Distribution is direct, with global reach spanning North America, Europe, and Asia. The company is founder-owned and private, with no disclosed venture capital or private equity investment and no public listing.
