Big events demand more than a good-looking booth. They need speed, scale, sustainability, and zero surprises.
For more than 25 years, Highmark TechSystems has helped brands, agencies, and exhibit houses deliver high-impact modular trade show exhibits and event environments across the country.
Here’s why they’re the top choice.
25+ Years of Modular Experience That Reduces Risk
Experience doesn’t just look good on paper. It eliminates friction.
Highmark has been serving clients in the modular exhibits industry for over 25 years. The team has completed thousands of builds and supported activations in 45 states and five countries. Each year, structures appear at more than 110 major events across 30 major cities.
That kind of repetition sharpens the process.
Designers know how to maximize layouts, sightlines, and traffic flow so every square foot works harder. They plan with structural realities in mind from day one.
Project managers move fast because they’ve seen the variables before. They anticipate challenges, tighten timelines, and keep vendors aligned.
Install crews understand sequencing down to the bolt. They know what goes up first, what locks in next, and how to stay efficient on a crowded show floor.
That coordination creates something clients value most: predictability. Budgets stay controlled. Install days stay on track. Stress stays low.
Whether you need refined modular exhibition stands for a national trade show program or complex structural builds with decks and engineered components, the system scales without reinventing the wheel every time.
A National Footprint
Brands activate everywhere. One month, it’s Las Vegas. The next it’s Chicago, Atlanta, or a stadium parking lot in Texas.
Highmark supports projects coast to coast and has partnered with 100+ Fortune 500 companies through exhibit houses and agencies. Teams ship an average of 24 jobs per month.
That kind of volume sharpens logistics, strengthens freight coordination, and keeps crews efficient under pressure.
When brands plan large-scale event activations, mobile tours, or multi-city programs, they need infrastructure that travels well and performs consistently.
Highmark’s systems pack efficiently, ship strategically, and reassemble without guesswork. Components stay durable. Finishes stay clean. Engineering stays intact from city to city.
Highmark supports true mobile experiential marketing without compromising structure or design. Your footprint may change, but your structure doesn’t lose integrity.
Sustainable by Design, Cost-Efficient by Default
Highmark engineers every system with 100% reusable or recyclable materials, which means sustainability starts at the structural level.
Clients routinely reduce exhibit costs by 30% by reusing core components instead of rebuilding for every show, and compared to permanent construction, modular trade show structures can lower overall costs by as much as 80%.
Highmark’s focus is a true sustainable modular trade show building system. One engineered framework supports endless configurations, giving teams the flexibility to evolve their footprint without fabricating from scratch. Reuse reduces freight, minimizes material waste, and protects long-term budgets.
Brands can also rent Highmark’s sustainable modular solutions when they need a smart short-term option, especially for limited show schedules or one-off activations. Rental supports environmental responsibility because it keeps high-quality structural components in circulation.
Instead of fabricating new materials for every event, teams reuse existing inventory, which reduces waste, lowers raw material consumption, and minimizes the overall environmental footprint of a show.
These aren’t disposable builds designed for a single moment. They are durable, eco-friendly structures built to adapt, scale, and perform season after season.
Built to Keep Projects on Schedule
Deadlines don’t move, but install windows shrink and union labor hours add up quickly. Every extra minute on the show floor affects budget, staffing, and stress levels.
Highmark designs its systems with speed as a priority. Crews can install certain structures in as little as 2–4 hours, and even large double deck exhibits can be completely installed within a single eight-hour day.
That efficiency reduces labor costs, shortens downtime, and allows teams to focus on finishing details instead of scrambling to get structure in place.
Fast installs also create flexibility. If access windows change or freight arrives late, experienced crews and proven systems help teams recover without compromising safety or quality. Speed protects the schedule, and protecting the schedule protects the investment.
When timelines tighten, Highmark event structures give brands a measurable advantage.
Engineered Systems Built for Scale, Flexibility, & Impact
Not every event calls for a simple tent or booth. In fact, that is the bare minimum setup, and everyone knows it. Your brand deserves mobility, durability, or even long-term deployment.
Highmark builds premium modular systems that are designed with unique features and benefits. Here’s a look at what build.
ExpoDECK & Multi-Level Structures
In 2024 alone, Highmark deployed 42,000 square feet of ExpoDECK, averaging 500 square feet per deployment. The team regularly supports environments designed for audiences of 200+ people.
ExpoDECK makes vertical impact possible. It supports everything from a striking double-deck booth to larger multi-level environments that give brands more visibility, more meeting space, and more control over their footprint.
Instead of expanding outward and competing for floor space, teams build upward with confidence and structural integrity.
EventMAX & Outdoor Environments
Outdoor environments introduce new variables: weather, terrain, and larger footprints. That’s why there’s EventMAX: the best outdoor semi permanent structure.
Highmark deployed 15,000 square feet of EventMAX in 2023, averaging 1,000 square feet per deployment across 30 outdoor events over three years.
These semi permanent outdoor structures perform well as branded pavilions and outdoor brand activation programs. Wind load of up to 115 mph, uneven terrain, larger spans, and heavier foot traffic all factor into the design.
EventMAX also works well for sports venue solutions, where schedules repeat season after season and infrastructure must support crowds, equipment, and sponsor visibility. Brands get the durability they expect from longer-term installations while retaining the ability to reconfigure, expand, or relocate as needs evolve.
MAXwall & Modular Interior Systems
Structure solutions don’t stop at decks. Highmark maintains more than 2,000 lineal feet of MAXwall frames in active inventory, giving clients substantial wall infrastructure ready to deploy at scale.
That depth allows teams to build expansive backdrops, define meeting spaces, create controlled-access areas, or shape fully branded environments without waiting on custom fabrication.
MAXwall is the strongest and most versatile of lightweight reusable wall systems in the market. These modular walls integrate seamlessly with the broader structural system, which means those same components can move from a trade show floor to a touring activation or even into a longer-term interior setup.
Instead of producing new walls for every event, teams draw from an existing inventory that reconfigures as needed. The result is faster turnaround, tighter cost control, and smarter asset utilization across programs.
Modulbox & Rapid Deployment Solutions
For programs that prioritize mobility and speed, Modulbox systems deliver a compact, engineered solution that installs in as little as 2–4 hours.
Teams use these mobile brand activation displays for pop-ups, touring activations, and fast-turn environments where structure still needs to feel substantial and polished. They are easy to brand, transport, and keep weather elements at bay.
Highmark: Built for the Way Modern Events Operate
Events move faster than ever, and expectations rise just as quickly. Budgets demand accountability while sustainability goals shape decision-making at every level.
Highmark builds temporary event structures that meet those realities head-on: modular by design, reusable by intention, and engineered to scale when your footprint grows.
Each product system works independently (and together) to create reusable exhibition stands that adapt as your brand evolves.
If your team needs smarter infrastructure for upcoming trade shows, mobile tours, sporting events, or branded environments, start with a system designed by a trusted exhibition stand builder with proven success.
