About Us

PortaDisplay is a convention and trade show display house celebrating our 62th year of success in the industry. Founded by WWII Veteran George C. Kruse on January 16, 1961, PortaDisplay has provided rental exhibits and booths to leading companies in a variety of industries. Our commitment to providing the highest quality rental booths and exhibits together with our strict attention to detail through our service policy has made PortaDisplay an industry leader.

Your experience with PortaDisplay begins months before your company’s scheduled trade show or convention. You will select — in consultation with one of our design experts — the size and look of your booth or display. The consultation will address structure, color, texture, signage, lighting, and accessories. At that time, pricing will be provided.  

Once booth or display selection and design are complete, we begin the process of preparing your items at the PortaDisplay warehouse for transport. Your booth or display will typically ship 30-45 days in advance of the start of your event in order.

Several days prior to the start of your show, one or more of our expert staff will arrive on-site to direct and oversee the setup of your company’s booth or display. This is an important part of our service for two reasons. First, we do not entrust the set-up of your display to strangers without our involvement and supervision as other companies might do. Our presence insures that your booth is set up to both your and our exact standards. Second, we strive, at every event, to get your display set-up well in advance of the start of the show. This provides you with the earliest possible access to your booth so you and your staff can prepare for the show itself.

Another important feature of our service is that we leave at least one staff member on-site for the duration of your event. That staff member remains available to you to provide any assistance and information regarding your booth.

At the conclusion of your show, you simply can take your belongings and leave. We can package and ship any products, materials or display items back to your company’s headquarters or offices. As soon as your products and materials are removed from your booth, we direct and supervise the tear-down, packing and transportation back to our warehouse where it will remain until your next show.

PortaDisplay also offers other related convention and trade show services such as maintenance, and storage of booths/exhibits already owned or in use by your company. Prices for these and other related services are available upon request.

In closing, our mission is simple but crucial: We are here to give your company a competitive edge at its conventions and trade shows by elevating its image and presence so it, like so many other of our clients throughout the years, shines as an industry leader.
