The Cialona Family Business in FRITS Magazine

“You only get one chance to make a first impression.” With nearly 70 years of experience, we at Cialona know exactly what that means. From sleek booths for brands like IBM and Quooker to a complete green oasis right in the middle of the exhibition floor: it’s all about making an impact when it counts.

But what really sets us apart? Our owner puts it best: “With other exhibit builders, you’ll often hear ‘no.’ With us, you’ll only hear that when there’s truly no other option.” That’s exactly the mindset of our family-owned business. We always go the extra mile—for each other, for our team, and for our clients. Whether it’s helping out with construction on the weekend or delivering top-quality results: we don’t necessarily have to be the biggest, as long as we’re among the absolute best.

With the next generation at the helm, we’re moving forward with confidence. We’re not just building impressive booths, but also an organization that grows without losing its own identity. Because ultimately, it’s not just about what you build, but above all, how you do it.

Cialona in the Media

As we approach our anniversary year, we’re seeing interest in Cialona Expo continue to grow. We’re regularly approached for interviews and articles to share our story. What once began as a local venture has grown from its roots in Helmond into a leading player in the international exhibition stand construction industry.

That success is a credit to our entire Cialona team, built under the leadership of Tjeerd van de Kimmenade. With our 70th anniversary in 2027 on the horizon, we, as a family-owned business, are preparing for a new milestone: Tjeerd is passing the torch to his son, Sebastiaan. As Chief Operating Officer, Sebastiaan is fully prepared to lead Cialona into the future with great enthusiasm.
