Wooden or Maxima (Modular) Stand? Which Is the Right Choice and When?

If complex geometry, double-story structure, or a completely original design is needed, a custom wooden stand is the right choice; if fast installation, reusability, and lower budget are priorities, the modular Maxima system is the right choice.

Advantages of Custom Wooden Stands

• Design freedom: Curved surfaces, special forms, integrated furniture and storage areas can be arranged without limits.
• Double-story structure possibility: Two-story solutions for large square meter main sponsor stands are only possible with wooden/hybrid construction.
• Strong brand impact: A unique design clearly differentiates from competitors' standard modular stands.
• High craftsmanship detail: A premium appearance is achieved with special coatings, painting, and lighting solutions.

Advantages of Maxima Modular Stands

• Speed: Aluminum profile and panel systems are quickly installed and dismantled at the exhibition area.
• Reusability: The same system can be reused at different exhibitions, reducing unit cost over time.
• Flexibility: Panels can be reconfigured according to different stand sizes.
• Lower initial investment: Offers an entry cost significantly below wood, in the range of 100-150€/m².

Price Difference

In Turkey, Maxima systems range from 100-150€/m², while custom wooden stands range from 150-400€/m² (premium level 200-250€/m²). The difference stems from material, depth of craftsmanship, and design originality — Maxima offers a quick solution with standard components, while wood requires engineering and production from scratch.

Which One for Which Situation?

• 1-2 exhibitions per year, limited budget → Maxima
• 3+ exhibitions per year, plan to reuse the same system → Maxima (long-term) or medium-scale custom production
• Main sponsor stand, large square meters, double-story →Wooden custom production
• Completely original, brand-specific architecture →Wooden custom production
• Fast decision, short installation time →Maxima
