Trio Motion, a leading manufacturer and designer of motor control components, participates annually in the SPS (Smart Production Solutions) Expo in Nuremberg, Germany. The SPS Expo, running from 25 – 27 November 2025, is a premier event for the automation industry, showcasing the latest advancements in smart and digital automation.
For over 12 years, Trio Motion has collaborated with Park Display (PD) to design and construct their exhibition stand, forming a strong and reliable partnership. We spoke to Mark Kennelly from Trio Motion to understand how this collaboration has supported their presence at the SPS Expo.
The evolution of the stand
Trio Motion started with a small stand at SPS but, as their business grew, they expanded to a 226m² space in the major exhibition hall. This expanded space includes a meeting room and interactive pods, enhancing their ability to engage with attendees effectively.
Project execution
The design process is a collaborative effort between Trio Motion and Park Display:
Mark Kennelly conceptualises the stand’s design, ensuring it aligns with Trio Motion’s branding and objectives.
Park Display ensures the design is structurally and mechanically viable.
Once finalised, Trio Motion provides the graphics, which PD integrates seamlessly.
The stand is reused annually, with modifications and new components added as needed.
Park Display stores the stand throughout the year and refurbishes it as required before each event.
Mark Kennelly highlights the seamless workflow: “I will come up with the design and they will make sure it will work in real life. Once the final designs are agreed by all, I will create the graphics and send them over. PD will ensure this all works mechanically.”
Objectives and pre-event preparation
- Trio Motion’s primary objectives for the SPS Expo include:
- Increasing brand awareness.
- Showcasing their latest hardware and software solutions.
- Preparation begins up to six months in advance, with final graphics being submitted approximately three weeks before the event. This structured approach ensures a smooth execution and high-quality presentation.
Results and impact
The partnership with Park Display has significantly benefitted Trio Motion:
Efficiency and ease: Knowing that everything is set up before arrival provides peace of mind and allows the team to focus on engaging with visitors.
Expertise and innovation: Park Display proactively suggests enhancements, such as LED lighting around the pods, contributing to a more visually appealing and impactful stand.
Seamless execution: The PD team ensures that all elements are perfectly in place, facilitating a stress-free setup experience.
Mark Kennelly notes the impact on their workflow: “Makes life for our team so much easier knowing they’ll have everything set up before we get there.”
Quality and recommendations
Mark Kennelly affirms that the quality of the stand is always excellent. For businesses considering working with Park Display, his key advice is to maintain regular communication, as PD’s expertise and guidance are invaluable.
“Always be in communication with them, they know their stuff and can guide you.”
Conclusion
Trio Motion’s long-standing relationship with Park Display has played a vital role in their success at SPS Expo. As Mark Kennelly summarises:
“Working with Dan and the team has helped us achieve our success.”
