Skyline Exhibits has offices in 38 countries around the world, which means that exhibitors from Canada can benefit from the company's extensive network of offices. Exhibitors can work on a trade show booth design with a local representative, yet take advantage of Skyline's offices around the world. This means that exhibitors from the United States or Canada don't need to worry about a language barrier when they're trying to get their trade show display set up in countries like China or Germany.

Customers who are looking for rental units can also take advantage of the different Skyline Service Centers. A trade show exhibit can be expensive, especially for a company with a small marketing budget, which makes a rental unit especially attractive. However, a rental exhibit from Skyline can still be fully customized, which means event attendees will never know that a display is a rental unit.

"Exhibiting at a trade show can be highly stressful and this stress is exacerbated if you're exhibiting with a display that you're not familiar with or in a country where you don't speak the language. Skyline's network of offices means that our customers never have to worry about working with a third party and our expertise means that they know they'll be taken care of, no matter what type of situation they're faced with," said Thimmesch.

Skyline Exhibits Awarded 100th Patent for Trade Show Exhibit Product Design

12/15/2011 - When Skyline Exhibits was recently granted a patent for its new DesignView® Exhibit System, it was a special occasion. The patent marked the 100th time Skyline has been recognized for invention. ?It?s an honor,? stated Bill Dierberger, president of Skyline Exhibits. ?So many people have worked so hard to create new and better products over the years. This milestone is a result of that cumulative effort.?

Skyline has earned product patents for its trade show exhibit systems and components, while it also been awarded numerous design patents for appearance and aesthetic. Many patents are also registered internationally.

Portable to Custom Modular

Skyline began business in 1980 intent on delivering portable products that were better exhibiting solutions than were available at the time. The goal was to create trade show displays that were more attractive, lighter weight, packed smaller and were easier to use and transport.

Today, while the portable market is still a significant part of Skyline?s focus and product development, much of their effort goes into applying those same attributes to larger, structural systems. Skyline Custom Modular systems are now a major part of the inline and island exhibit market.

Innovation Process Nationally Recognized

In 2010, the Product Development and Management Association (PDMA) named Skyline Exhibits a finalist for their prestigious Outstanding Corporate Innovator (OCI) Award. While Skyline did not emerge as the winner, the OCI selection committee ? a group of esteemed experts in the field of innovation and new product development ? were impressed.

"Skyline has an excellent product development system, certainly worthy of recognition. Finalist status is testimony to that. Skyline can be justifiably proud of their system. It's very impressive," said committee member Bill Riggs.

Designing to Changing Needs

Skyline has no plans to slow down product development. A good percentage of the products it sells and rents today did not exist five years ago. ?The world moves fast,? added Dierberger. ?New technologies continue to emerge, the manner in which people interact and market continues to change, and environmental sensitivity continues to grow. Skyline will continue to evolve and design products that answer the changing needs of exhibitors.?
