More time
for what matters
Breakbulk Europe, RotterdamBreakbulk Europe is the leading meeting place for the international breakbulk industry. Every year, hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of visitors gather in Ahoy Rotterdam for this multi-day event. For organizer Hyve, a smooth-running event is crucial. Which is why they chose Gielissen as the general contractor.
It's all about zero fuss
and zero concern
From the floor plan to booth construction scheduling, from rigging to on-site services: Gielissen arranged it all. As an extension of Hyve's team, we took on every aspect of the operational implementation. Our people were constantly present at the site. Before, during and after the trade fair, to answer questions, resolve challenges and take quick action when needed.
Exhibitors arranged everything easily via our webshop. Standard booth packages, AV, furniture, electricity and plants. Everything presented clearly in one place.
For Hyve, the collaboration meant peace of mind and good oversight. “Since we started working with Gielissen, the trade fair has grown significantly”, says Uliana Zeneli, Head of Operations at Hyve. “In terms of size, appearance and customer satisfaction”. She refers to the collaboration as a “premium experience” and stresses how you are always in good hands as an organizer.
Flexible and dependable
Last-minute changes, additional requests, vendors building up booths at the same time - it’s all part of the job. Flexibility is our main strength. We act quickly, give you the benefit of our ideas and expertise and make sure everything is taken care of. Sometimes things requires a little extra. This allows trade fair organizers to focus on content, the visitor experience and marketing.
Unusual requests don't faze Marco either. “When Hyve asked if we could arrange a mascot, we immediately consulted our network. Not much later, a handmade camel started sauntering through the aisles at the trade fair - made by the same expert seamstress who produced the suit for Max Verstappen's mascot. From design to the finished product in record time!”
The result: control and comfort
The exhibitors were satisfied, the operational aspects ran smoothly and last-minute adjustments were quickly addressed. This ensured that Hyve's team stayed in control. Exactly what you need as an organizer of a fair of this size.
And the special areas were also perfectly set-up and managed: from the registration area to the main stage and zones like "Women in Breakbulk." Everything was flawless, from the decor to the logistics. And, last but not least, within budget.
