Octanorm Exhibition Stands
MEMS International is an official Octanorm partner through the OSPI program — one of a select group of certified builders in the UK authorised to design, build, and supply stands using the Octanorm system. MEMS has been working with Octanorm for many years, and it remains one of the most trusted and versatile modular exhibition systems in the world.
Whether you need a new Octanorm stand designed and built, or want to reconfigure an existing one, MEMS can help.
What is Octanorm?
Octanorm is a precision-engineered modular exhibition system, built from aluminium profiles and high-quality infill panels. Originally developed in Germany, it’s used by exhibition companies worldwide and has become something of an industry standard for modular stand construction.
The system’s key strengths are its structural integrity, flexibility of configuration, and clean, professional finish. A well-executed Octanorm stand is indistinguishable from a bespoke build — and it can be reconfigured for different shows, spaces, and layouts.
Octanorm Exhibition Stands are ideal for:
- > Brands that exhibit regularly and want a reusable, reconfigurable stand
- > Companies seeking a professional modular solution without custom build costs
- > Exhibitors who want a system that travels well internationally
- > Businesses looking for a sustainable, long-lasting exhibition investment
What we offer as an official Octanorm partner
Octanorm stand design
Our in-house designers work with the Octanorm system from the ground up — not retrofitting graphics onto a standard frame, but designing a stand that makes the most of the system’s flexibility. We create 3D visualisations so you can see exactly how your stand will look before we build it.
Octanorm stand build
We manufacture in our own workshop in Chessington, Surrey. All graphics are produced in-house to ensure perfect fit, accurate colour, and consistent branding.
Octanorm stand hire
Need a stand for a one-off show without the commitment of a purchase? We offer Octanorm stand hire — fully branded, professionally finished, and delivered to your venue.
Reconfiguration and refurbishment
Already have an Octanorm exhibition stand that needs updating or adapting for a new show space? We can reconfigure, repair, and refresh existing stands — including stands not originally built by MEMS.
Storage and management
Between shows, your Octanorm stand lives in our secure storage facility in Surrey. We inspect, maintain, and prep it before every event
Octanorm Exhibition Stands we’ve built
We’ve built Octanorm Exhibition Stands for clients across financial services, energy, technology, and professional services — at shows including Event Tech Live, AWS 2026, MRO, IMEX and many more.

Frequently asked questions
What makes MEMS an official Octanorm partner?
Official Octanorm partners are certified by Octanorm to design, build, and supply stands using their system to the manufacturer’s own quality standards.
Can I buy Octanorm panels and components through MEMS?
Yes – speak to us about purchasing components for your own stand, or we can supply a complete built system. We’ll advise on what you actually need rather than oversell components.
How does Octanorm compare to bespoke exhibition stands?
Octanorm is faster to build, easier to reconfigure, and lower cost per show for regular exhibitors. Bespoke stands offer more creative freedom and are better suited to one-off flagship builds or unusual shapes. We build both and will tell you which suits your situation.
Can Octanorm stands be used internationally? Yes – Octanorm is a globally recognised system, which means components are available locally almost anywhere in the world. This significantly reduces freight costs for international shows, as we can source local components and ship your graphics only.
What sizes can you build Octanorm stands in? From compact 3x2m stands up to large-scale multi-room structures of 100sqm+. The system scales well and we’ve built at both ends of that range.
Do you offer Octanorm stand hire for single shows? Yes. If you need a professional branded stand for a one-off show without committing to a purchase, our hire service is a cost-effective option. Get in touch with your show details for a quote.
