Prodexpo Moscow 2027: Exhibitor Guide & How to Choose a Stand Builder
Prodexpo is Russia's largest food and beverage exhibition, filling every pavilion at Expocentre on Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment each February with 2,000+ exhibitors. Stagehook Global built the Santus / Spice Master stand there in 2026 — this is what we learned that will save you money and stress.

What a Prodexpo stand costs
A 36 sqm custom corner stand like the Santus build — raised floor, backlit header, product shelving, reception counter, storage and a tasting bar — costs EUR 14,000–22,000 (RUB 1.4–2.2 million) turnkey. 12 sqm shell-scheme upgrades with custom graphics start around EUR 3,500. Island stands of 100 sqm with kitchens and meeting rooms run EUR 55,000–85,000.
Choosing a Moscow stand contractor
Ask for Expocentre accreditation (the venue requires contractor passes and insurance), confirm who handles technical drawings for the organiser's approval, insist on a fixed-price contract with payment milestones, and check that electrical work is done by certified staff. Stagehook Global manages all of this through our Moscow partner workshop and provides English-language project management from first render to handover.
Advice for foreign exhibitors
Ship samples and exhibits through an ATA Carnet or an accredited expo freight forwarder; allow 3–4 weeks for customs. Print all graphics locally in Moscow to avoid customs delays and colour issues. Book hotels near Vystavochnaya / Delovoy Tsentr metro early — fair-week rates triple.
