A regional workshop, not a distant import
Having your stand built in Europe or Asia means weeks of sea freight, high import costs and a contractor you can't reach once the container ships. By producing in Abidjan, at the heart of West Africa, we shorten the chain dramatically: design, manufacturing, regional delivery and installation by our own teams, with a single point of contact from first sketch to final bolt.
The regional-trade advantage
A stand built in Côte d'Ivoire travels under regional free-trade arrangements: WAEMU for the CFA-franc countries (Senegal, Burkina Faso, Mali…) and ECOWAS/ETLS for Ghana and Nigeria. Depending on the country and rules-of-origin compliance, import duties are reduced or waived — whereas an overseas product stacks 20–35% duty, VAT and freight. We handle the paperwork (certificate of origin, recent changes such as the AES levy) so delivery holds no surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Do you build the stand on site or in Abidjan?
We design and manufacture your stand in our workshop, then our teams ship and install it in your country. You get premium craftsmanship without relying on an improvised local contractor.
Why pick a regional builder over a European or Asian import?
Lead times cut in half, no long-haul sea freight, a single reachable point of contact, and the ability to adjust the stand until the last minute. On cost, regional trade arrangements (WAEMU, ECOWAS/ETLS) reduce or remove import duties, subject to rules of origin.
Which countries do you install in?
Ivory Coast, Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Mali and Guinea, with our own teams. Other countries in the region on request.
What are the lead times for a stand delivered to another country?
Allow 8 to 12 weeks from design to installation — half the time of a stand imported from outside the region. A fast-track option is available depending on the project.
Do you offer stands that can be reused across trade shows?
Yes. Our custom stands are designed to be re-installed across several trade shows and countries, spreading your investment over your whole event season.
