Pröpper Konstruktionen & Design GmbH is an exhibition stand builder in Hannover, Germany.
PROEPPER Konstruktionen & Design GmbH is a Hannover stand builder that has traded since 1999 from Eupener Strasse 39, a few kilometres from Deutsche Messe Hannover. What distinguishes it from a general Messebau contractor is that its core discipline is textile: tensioned fabric forms, light walls, illuminated objects, projections, suspended net ceilings, thread curtains and room dividers. Metal fabrication and shop or exhibition fit-out sit alongside that rather than in place of it.
Capabilities
The company works across four related areas, and the mix matters when scoping a brief:
- Textile constructions - free-form tensioned fabric, light objects and walls, projection surfaces, tensioning systems, net ceilings, thread curtains and space dividers.
- Event fabrics and profiles - supplied by the running metre or made up to measure. The stocked range includes Trevira CS (inherently flame-retardant, which is what most German venue fire regulations require), opera film, sprinkler-permeable fabric, stage molton, keder profiles and frame systems, plus XXL digital printing.
- Shop and exhibition design - stand construction, concepts and shop interiors.
- Metal fabrication - structures, furniture and art objects.
Why the textile specialism is worth knowing
Two of those items have direct consequences for stand approval in Germany. Trevira CS is permanently flame-retardant rather than treated, so it does not lose its certification after cleaning, which matters where a venue asks for evidence of fire class. Sprinkler-permeable fabric is what makes a suspended textile ceiling permissible in a sprinklered hall at all, since a closed ceiling would otherwise obstruct the system. A stand design that depends on either is a specification question, not a decorative one, and is worth raising early with any builder.
The company supplies fabric and profile as material as well as building complete stands, so it can act as a subcontractor to another builder on the textile package rather than only as a main contractor.
Clients
PROEPPER publishes a reference list of around 38 named organisations on its own site. It spans other exhibition and event contractors (Expo Team Messebau, Mice Meissner Expo, Neumann & Mueller), research and public institutions (Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Medizinische Hochschule Hannover, Deutsches Hoerzentrum, Staatshochbauamt Hannover), and brands including New Era Cap, Snipes Textil and Theo Wormland. Several entries are outside Germany, in Basel, Innsbruck, Kufstein, Utrecht and Madrid.
Practical detail
Managing director: Stephan Proepper. Registered HRB 209639 at Amtsgericht Hannover, USt-IdNr DE288188638, validated via the EU VIES register. The company publishes both business and consumer terms, which is unusual for a Messebau firm and suggests it also sells material directly to private buyers.
