Malta Expo

Malta Expo is a Marsa-based company that designs, builds and delivers exhibition stands. Its tagline is that it takes you from your computer to the exhibition hall, and the idea is a hassle-free service in which the client does not have to manage separate designers, builders and delivery crews. It has worked in the exhibition trade since 2002.

The company is listed among the event planners in Malta on VisitMalta.co.uk. It is a business-to-business service, aimed at companies that exhibit at trade shows and conferences in Malta, rather than at consumers planning a party. UK firms that attend Malta's large events can use it to arrange a polished stand without shipping one from home.

The expogrid system

Every stand is made with the expogrid system, a cost-effective modular framework with almost unlimited possibilities. Because the pieces are modular, stands can be configured in different footprints and heights, reused or adapted, and assembled quickly in the hall. The photographs on this page show the results at a busy trade show, from compact stands with a single reception desk to larger two-tier structures with lounge areas and screens.

Walls take printed graphics, lighting strips and screens, and the stands in the pictures combine bold branding with meeting tables, counters and seating so that visitors have somewhere to talk.

Why a modular stand helps

An exhibition is a short, expensive event, and first impressions count. A stand that is designed in advance, built to a fixed system and delivered to the hall avoids last-minute surprises on set-up day. That matters most for companies from outside Malta, who may not know local contractors, hall rules or delivery slots.

A modular approach also gives flexibility between events. The same family of components can be arranged in a larger or smaller footprint for the next show, and graphics can be swapped to match a new campaign. For a UK company testing the Malta market, that makes it easier to start with a modest booth and scale up if the results justify it. Ask the team how storage, reuse and re-branding would work for your plans.

Choosing a stand

There are two routes. In the first, you choose one of the ready-made standard booths and Malta Expo builds it. In the second, the team listens to your ideas, prepares a design for your approval and then builds it. A catalogue of standard options is available to download from the business's website.

When you contact the company you are asked what type of stand you need: an island stand, or one open on three, two or one sides, and whether you want a single or a double storey. Those choices shape the cost, so send details of your event, floor area and brand colours when you enquire. The company does not publish prices, so ask for a quotation based on your plan, and allow time for the design to be approved before the show date.

Where it fits in a Malta business trip

Exhibitions are a big part of Malta's commercial calendar, especially in sectors covered in our iGaming in Malta guide and our financial services guide. If you are travelling for an event, our flights to Malta page shows routes from the UK, and our hotels in Valletta and where to stay in Malta guides help you choose a base.

Marsa lies close to the Grand Harbour, and visitors with a spare afternoon can see the Valletta guide or the nearby Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum. For photographs of your stand and event, Anaca Photography is listed in our directory, and A4 Malta DMC Private Tours and Excursions can help with leisure time for delegates.

To discuss a stand, use the VisitMalta.co.uk enquiry form on this page and we will pass your message to Malta Expo.
