Practical information for Anuga exhibitors
Anuga takes place at Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany, one of Europe’s largest exhibition centres. The fair is split into themed shows by product category, spread across halls that in some cases have more than one level.
Build-up is concentrated in the days before opening and dismantling starts as soon as the show closes, with working hours and loading slots set out by the organiser in the exhibitor manual. At an international fair of this size the venue sets build-up windows hall by hall; we take them from the technical manual and plan our crew’s travel around them.
Venue regulations worth bearing in mind:
- Stand approval: the organiser asks for stand plans and elevations by a set deadline; we prepare and submit them for you.
- Materials: everything we build meets the venue’s fire-rating rules and travels with its certificates.
- Height limits: they vary by hall and by stand position (island, corner or row), so we check them before the design is signed off.
- Chilled products and tastings: refrigerated displays, cooking or tastings need water, drainage and power ordered in advance, and must meet the venue’s food hygiene rules.
Ideally, book your stand builder 3–4 months before Anuga, whether you need a compact trade show booth or a large island stand: that leaves time for 3D design, plan approval, production and ordering technical services. We build in our Barcelona workshop and ship the stand to Cologne by road; our own crew travels to install and dismantle it, and you deal with a single English-speaking contact and one invoice.
