Your stand options
Exhibitors usually take one of these formats, and the organizer confirms what is available for your booking. Here is what UPC delivers for each.
Custom build on your plot
You book the floor space and bring your own contractor. We design a custom stand around your brand, fabricate it in-house and build it on site: structure, product showcases, meeting tables, feature walls and graphics.
Organizer-built structure
The organizer provides the basic structure. We upgrade it with branded walls, counters, feature elements and printed graphics so it stands apart from the row.
Compact, ready-made spot
A small footprint with a big job. We produce the graphics, branded counter fronts and display pieces that make a young company look established.
Scope
Bespoke stand structures designed and fabricated to brand specification for trade shows and expos.
Free-standing kiosks for activations, retail promotions and experiential brand moments.
Concept design and 3D renders that let clients approve the stand before fabrication starts.
In-house metal, wood and large-format fabrication of stand frames, counters and feature walls.
Transport, storage and coordination of stand components to venues across the Kingdom.
Certified crews assemble, dress and dismantle stands within venue build-up and breakdown windows.

On the show floor
01
CPHI is a sourcing show and most business happens seated. We plan enough tables and a hosted counter before anything else.
02
Lit showcases and short capability panels present APIs, dosage forms or machinery at a glance.
03
Smooth surfaces, even lighting and hidden storage reflect the standards buyers expect from a pharma supplier.
04
Buyers scan the aisles by category. One clear line on the high-level graphics tells them what you supply.

FAQs
When should we brief UPC for a CPHI Middle East stand?
+We recommend sending your brief about 8 weeks before opening day, so there is time to refine the design. Short-notice requests are welcome too, because design, fabrication and crews are all in-house. Send your brief today and we will confirm a delivery schedule with your quote.
Do you build space-only stands, or can you upgrade a shell scheme?
+Both. On a space-only plot we design and build a fully custom stand around your brand. On a shell scheme package we add branded walls, counters, feature elements and graphics, all produced in-house.
What is included in a CPHI Middle East stand package?
+3D concept and renders, structural fabrication, graphics production, transport to the venue, on-site build within the official build-up window, and full dismantling after the show. One team, one contract.
What does the price depend on?
+Stand size, number of open sides, structure and finishes, graphics coverage and timeline. Send your stand number, dimensions and brief and we will return an itemized quote within 24 hours.
We exhibit at CPHI shows worldwide. Can you build our global stand design in Riyadh?
+Yes. Send your brand guidelines or existing stand drawings. We adapt them to your plot and the venue rules, fabricate in Saudi Arabia and install on site, which avoids shipping a stand into the Kingdom.
Do you handle the organizer's approvals for the stand?
+We prepare the stand drawings and technical details the organizer asks for and follow the rules in your exhibitor manual. Submission steps and deadlines are set by the organizer, so share the manual with your brief.
We are exhibiting from outside Saudi Arabia. Can you manage the build remotely?
+Yes. Brief us by email or video call, approve the 3D renders online, and our production team handles fabrication, delivery and installation. Your team arrives to a finished stand, ready for opening day.
Can the stand be reused at other exhibitions?
+Yes. Many stands are engineered as modular systems that can be refreshed and redeployed across several exhibitions, which lowers the cost per show.
