Transport (round trip)
We bring the LED wall to your booth at Koelnmesse, Cologne, and take it back after the show.
LED Wall Rental for Anuga.
Exhibiting at Anuga (Koelnmesse, Cologne, Germany)? We bring the LED wall (or video wall) ready to your booth: transport, assembly, dismantling and on-site technical support included. The right screen for your booth at a food and beverage show, indoor and outdoor, turnkey — from a vertical totem to a large backdrop.
You handle the booth. We handle the screen.
Assembly & dismantling
Precision setup within the exhibition centre schedule, dismantling at the end of the event.
On-site support
A technician on call or on site for the whole show: a failure mid-fair is not something a call centre can fix.
Processor & calibration
Novastar video processor and calibration kept show after show: the wall is ready to receive your signal.
Audio & operator (opt.)
Sound system and on-site video engineer on request, up to full-time content operation.
Content (opt.)
In-house production of motion graphics, video and live content, cut to the exact screen format.
Preparing the stand? Our guide what decides whether a LED wall works at a trade show (in Italian) sets out the four things that are discovered late — the power the organiser assigns you, the weight and how the wall stands, the distance at which people actually pass, the build-up window — with the figures we use when we prepare a quote. The same figures, applied to Anuga, are in the sections below.
The venue: Koelnmesse, Cologne
Anuga takes place at Koelnmesse, Messeplatz 1, Cologne, Germany. For an exhibitor coming from Italy the question is rarely the screen: it is whether the screen, the structure and the people arrive together. For Anuga they do: the LED wall leaves from our base near Naples with our own team and vehicles, and the same technicians who load it in Italy assemble it at your booth in Cologne.
The venue sets the timetable, not us. Access to Koelnmesse for lorries, the halls' build-up hours and the dismantling sequence of Anuga are fixed by the organiser weeks in advance, and the route from Italy to Cologne is planned around them so that the wall is at the booth when your stand builder has finished the walls — not before, when there is nowhere to put it, and not after, when the access is closed.
Koelnmesse is not a venue we visit every month, and we say so: for Anuga we ask the organiser's technical office for the hall regulations in advance, and we put the answers — vehicle access, hall build-up hours, rigging rules — in the quote rather than in a phone call the week before.
What the screen has to do at a food and beverage show
Anuga is a trade show for food and beverage. That changes what the screen at your booth has to do, and therefore which screen we bring to Cologne.
At a food and beverage show the LED wall is mostly looked at from very close, by someone who is also tasting, holding a glass or reading a label. Colour accuracy matters more than brightness: a red that drifts towards orange makes a sauce, a wine or a pastry look wrong. For Anuga we therefore favour a fine pixel pitch — our usual fair panel is a P2.6 — and a calibrated wall, kept at a fraction of its maximum brightness so that it does not glare at two metres.
Content for Anuga tends to be product close-ups and short loops. A dark background with light text reads better under hall lighting and draws roughly a third of the power of a white one — which, in a hall that is already warm, is also the difference between a wall that runs all day and one that trips its thermal protection.
Build-up and dismantling at Anuga
Anuga does not have a fixed edition date in our calendar, so we do not print one: tell us the dates of the edition you are exhibiting at and the quote is built on them. Exhibition centres open the halls to stand builders in the days before the opening — usually the two days before — and the LED wall goes up once your stand's walls are finished, inside the window assigned to your hall.
Dismantling starts as soon as Anuga closes, often the same evening, with every exhibitor in the hall packing at once. For a booth-sized wall the work itself is a matter of hours. If the closing is late and the halls do not allow dismantling that night, the wall stays at the stand and must be kept in custody until our team collects it the next morning — the quote says which of the two applies.
For Anuga we recommend booking at least three to four weeks ahead, which is the time it takes to reserve the hardware and plan the logistics around the venue's rules. Short-notice requests are not refused: they are answered with what is actually available.
Power, weight and depth at your booth in Cologne
Three numbers decide whether a LED wall works at Anuga, and none of them is on the screen's data sheet. The first is power. Our standard fair panel draws about 494 W per square metre at full white: a 3 m² wall is around 1.5 kW, a 6 m² wall around 3 kW — the whole of the single-phase 16 A socket (about 3.6 kW) that most exhibitors order with the stand — and a 10 m² wall, at roughly 4.9 kW, needs a 32 A supply or a dedicated line. That is the peak, not the average, but a circuit breaker trips on the peak. Send us the wall size before you close the electrical order for Anuga and we tell you what to book.
The second is weight and support. A fair wall weighs between 18 and 30 kg per square metre depending on the series, plus the structure that holds it — well within what any hall floor at Koelnmesse carries, so at Anuga the floor is not the question. The constraint is how it stands: a ground-support structure inside the stand needs around 40 cm of depth behind the screen for frame and cabling, while hanging from the hall roof depends on the venue, has a rigging cost and must be requested from the organiser weeks in advance. Ask your stand builder how much depth is behind the screen before the floor plan is signed.
The third is distance. A millimetre of pixel pitch wants roughly a metre of viewing distance before the dots show; in a booth at Anuga a visitor is often at two metres or less, which is why we bring fine-pitch panels as a rule and choose a wider pitch only when the screen sits high above the stand or faces the aisle from a distance. We rent from 6 m² upwards, in cabinet multiples, and we carry about ten per cent of the cabinets as spares.
A failure mid-show can't be fixed by a call centre.
A tempting price often hides poor technical skill. We come in person, with spare parts and instruments: our lab repairs down to the single LED and is equipped to intervene on site. We don't leave you a toll-free number — we leave you a technician.

It depends on booth size, duration and service level. For a standard indoor event, packages start from around €4,490 + VAT (Silver, including transport, assembly and support). For Anuga we prepare a tailored quote within 24h — get in touch and we'll get back to you.
Do you deliver and assemble directly at the booth in Cologne?
Yes. We coordinate with the schedule and rules of the Cologne (Germany) exhibition centre: delivery, assembly, dismantling and collection are included. You focus on the booth, we take care of the screen.
How far in advance should I book?
For trade fairs we recommend at least 3–4 weeks to secure hardware and logistics. For urgent requests, contact us anyway: we often cover short notice too.
What LED wall sizes are available?
We rent from 6 m² upwards, modular to fit your booth width and height — from a vertical totem to a large backdrop, indoor and outdoor. Not sure about the size? We advise you.
