How we work
and why it matters.
Since the end of 2023, environmental and social criteria have been a binding part of our corporate strategy.
Three pillars guide our project work: resource efficiency in materials, cost efficiency through reuse, and a workplace where people grow.
DIN ISO 20121:2025 Certified
Our event management system is certified to DIN ISO 20121:2025 by GUTcert AFNOR Group, valid until 03/2029. From planning and coordination to follow-up: the certification is not an add-on but the framework we run projects by.
International certifications.For stands that convince and can be reused.
Member of the worldwide Better Stands network since April 2026. Each certification rates the choice of materials, the reuse concept and the design of one specific stand. Certified projects include stands at CPHI Barcelona and Milan, FIE and BIO-Europe.

How we build stands.
And how we use them again.
A stand that is only used once wastes potential. That is why we design our projects for reuse and material efficiency from the start, from the first sketch to the last screw.
Modular Stand Systems
Modular aluminium systems from Octanorm and Pixlip, used across projects and clients, shippable internationally and built to last.
Floor systems that stay
Our elements are in use for many years, some of them for up to ten.
Dye-sublimation printing: less effort, same quality
Where the application allows, we print using sublimation with water-based inks. Foldable graphics for easy handling, reduced assembly time, and lower shipping costs.
Smart Logistics
Routes planned in advance, optimised load volume, shared transport with other stand builders on the same route. Packed in reusable crates instead of single-use plastic.
Packaging that travels with us
Transport crates made from former exhibition materials, secured with straps instead of plastic strapping. We cut single-use material wherever transport protection allows.
Furniture with trade fair experience
Our stand furniture is used across many events instead of being bought new for every project.
Reusable Components
Counters, display furniture and sideboards, in use for years across different clients and events. Built to last.
Three pillars.In every project.
Ecology
Our timber office building stores around 66 tonnes of CO₂, according to CO2 Bank (no. EU-DE-65239-62371). 100% green electricity at our headquarters, verified by guarantees of origin. Plus digital project documentation and, where possible, transport boxes instead of stretch film.
Economy
Long-term partnerships over short-term profit: stable relationships with clients and suppliers. A strong capacity for innovation to keep up with changing requirements. System stands that save cost through reuse: material efficiency and cost efficiency in step.
Social Responsibility
Job bikes, a Deutschlandticket subsidy, sports programmes and home office options. Binding company principles on pay and equal treatment for every employee. Language courses, regular team events and a workplace where different backgrounds come together.
"We take responsibility — through everything we do, for a liveable and ecologically intact future, for all our employees, and for an appreciative, stable work environment shaped by passion, expertise, and courage. Our mission is to create high-quality exhibition and congress appearances that convince through innovation and sustainability."

How does Public Address work sustainably?
Sustainability has been a core part of our corporate strategy since the end of 2023. Our management system is certified to DIN ISO 20121:2025 and covers the processes listed in the certificate. We apply this framework consistently in project planning, coordination and follow-up. That includes reusable aluminium systems from Octanorm and Pixlip, dye-sublimation printing with water-based inks and transport crates made from recycled exhibition material.
Which materials do you use?
Our main build method uses modular aluminium systems from Pixlip and Octanorm, which are used across projects and clients. Where the application allows, we print textile graphics by dye sublimation with water-based inks. We use furniture and floor systems across many events, and some floor elements reach up to ten years of service.
How do you choose your suppliers?
We select suppliers against defined quality and environmental requirements. Some partners hold industry-specific certifications, but not all of our suppliers are certified at present. What we do have: long-term relationships, clear requirement profiles and the shared conviction that a stand should last longer than one season.
How does PA plan logistics?
We plan transport routes in advance, optimise load volume rigorously and share shipments with other stand builders where possible: same hall, same truck. We build transport crates from old exhibition materials and secure them with straps instead of plastic strapping.
How is sustainability implemented at international fairs?
Our management system to DIN ISO 20121:2025 sets the framework, and we adapt the implementation to local conditions. Our system stands are designed to be shipped internationally and reused for several events. Better Stands certifications at CPHI Barcelona and Milan, FIE and BIO-Europe show that this principle is recognised at major international trade fairs.
