Buy New, Used or Rent Pipe and Drape?

The age old debate in the trade show community – “Given the Choice – do you buy new, used or rent for your trade show equipment needs?”  As we all know, the trade show industry is very seasonal with the likely probability of over lapping shows in the spring and fall.  This is great for business, but not so great for your Pipe & Drape inventory levels.  So, what do you do when you can’t cover them all?

More and more trade show decorators are buying new trade show equipment to meet their show objectives.  They are finding the upfront investment cost is worth the peace of mind knowing they will meet the expectations of their clients and gain future business for around the same cost as other options for obtaining equipment.  While the cost of doing business has continued to increase, Georgia Expo has actually lowered equipment prices over the last three years, one of the few costs you won’t have to pass off to the customer.  Presenting first quality equipment that is consistent and branded to your business allows you to position yourself to win more bids and show.

There are several other options to obtain the Pipe & Drape inventory needed to complete over lapping shows.  Let’s explore the pros and cons of each option to lead us to the ultimate conclusion that new equipment is the best decision your business can make.

Owner, Philip DiTrolio’s continual commitment to reinvesting back into the company by improving manufacturing capabilities made last year one of our best EVER!

Georgia Expo added several new machines which have more than doubled our manufacturing potential. 

The picture the left is the new 120 Ton OBI Punch Press. This monster machine will be dedicated solely to punching bases. Alongside the original 100 Ton Double Crank Punch Press, Georgia Expo has more than doubled capacity to manufacture bases and uprights for Superior Pipe & Drape systems.

Other machinery purchased in 2010 includes a state of the art high speed automatic Band Saw which is used in our Cart Department. Georgia Expo has also invested in a Powder Coat System to add beautiful finishes to our Easels and Storage Carts. 

With all this new machinery it is now easier than ever to produce trade show equipment in large volumes, insuring you have product when you need it - fast! Just another way Georgia Expo works hard to bring you the highest quality trade show products in the industry.

2011 is Georgia Expo's 25th Anniversary!

2010 was our best year to date - but we're on track to beat that record in 2011! 

We're having another great year filled with growth and innovation as the largest manufacturer of exhibit Pipe & Drape in the United States. We expanded our office and warehouse staff and are excited to work and grow with you -- keeping ahead of the changes in the trade show and exhibit industries.

At a time when many companies are not growing, Georgia Expo Manufacturing in Norcross has not only outgrown our office and manufacturing space but we placed our factory and offices for sale!

We consider this great news and are excited about the opportunity to move into a larger facility -- where we will be able to expand our manufacturing capabilities and grow as a company.
