What is trade fair logistics?

Trade fair logistics refers to the planning, organization, and execution of the transport, storage, and handling of goods in the context of trade fairs and exhibitions. The aim is to deliver materials and products to the exhibition stands efficiently and on time and to transport them away again after the trade fair has ended.

The main tasks of trade fair logistics are:

• Transport planning and organization: Selection of suitable means of transport and routes for trade fair operations
• Storage and handling: Temporary storage of trade fair materials, picking and packing
• Customs clearance: Handling of customs formalities for international transport
• Consulting and optimization: Logistics consulting for customers to improve trade fair processes

Smooth trade fair logistics are crucial to the success of a trade fair, as they ensure that everything runs smoothly and that the necessary goods are delivered on time. Logistics service providers with the relevant expertise can support exhibitors in optimizing their trade fair processes.
