PROJECT
Archex one of the largest exhibit house in Montreal. With over 42 years in the business, our team handles hundreds of design and construction projects annually. We recognised the fact that doing shows can be challenging and even more for thus exhibiting internationally. We handle corporate exhibit programs to release the stress related to the coordination and the logistic of doing shows. We have developed a global strategic partnership with more than 170 offices spread around the globe, giving Archex a local presence in the major convention cities, which is a major benefit for our clients. We design show stopper exhibits to attack more visitors towards our client’s space. More traffic, more prospects, more potential sales! This way our clients can take care of business while Archex is handling the exhibit aspect of the shows. We value good relationship with customers, suppliers and employees. We like to have fun, to keep it real while taking care of business. We value trust, collaboration and long-term relationship. Exhibiting Excellence is not only about great exhibit, it is also about Positive Customer experience. We will make you shine with a peace of mind!
