Adler Display and BlueWater Help American Truck Company Hit the High Road with Large Rental Display for Assn. of U.S. Army Event

 

BALTIMORE, Nov. 30, 2004 – Adler Display, which is growing in reputation and reach in helping major companies hit the high road at trade shows and conventions, has done so again with an innovative display for the American Truck Company (ATC).

Adler Display (www.adlerdisplay.com) worked with the BlueWater Agency (www.bluewateragency.com) of Annapolis to design and build a 50’ x 50’ rental display for American Truck Company (www.americantruckco.com), which was used at the 40th Annual Meeting of the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA, www.AUSA.org) at the Washington, D.C., Convention Center, October 25-27.  The AUSA Annual Meeting is the world’s largest manpower forum. 

Ron Adler, president of Adler Display, said his company teamed with BlueWater to create a large rental booth “that really did the job for American Truck Company.”

“By choosing to go with a booth created and rented for a one-time use, ATC was able to meet specific needs with less overall effort and at a reduced cost – without sacrificing quality,” said Adler.  “While some may think of rental booths as small pop-ups carried to a show site, we were able to develop a large and very substantial presence for ATC that truly met its specific needs for the  AUSA Annual Meeting.”

“Putting together a booth which traveled well and which drew a large crowd for ATC was a challenge we welcomed,” he said.

Jean Tullier, CEO and founder, of BlueWater Agency, said the decision to rent an exhibit was made because ATC does only one large trade show a year.

“By renting a booth from Adler, we are able to provide ATC with a tailored look each year, specific to what vehicles ATC wants to showcase, the size of the vehicles, and the size of their show space,” Tullier said.  “Thus ATC gets a booth that meets their specific needs for that event, rather than being forced to ‘live with’ a purchased booth which would have to be reconfigured for each event. We felt that this was the most cost-effective approach, and were pleased to be able to create a highly dramatic exhibit using rented materials.”

Adler said the display, which shipped in 12 large crates, included a tri-truss surrounding the perimeter with large fabric dye sublimation graphics hanging from its center.  There were also extrusions that supported 16’ tall fabric dye sublimation graphics that aimed at attracting attendees.  The booth’s reception area featured a reception counter with logos on Plexiglas panels, lockable storage, and a 42-inch plasma monitor.  In addition, the American Truck booth had a semi private meeting room, halogen lighting, and a storage closet.

The October-November period has been particularly busy for Adler.  The company, family- owned and run since its founding in 1937, also created a major display for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, Inc., for SuperCorr Expo 2004 (www.supercorrexpo.org) in Atlanta, Nov. 8-12, the largest corrugated containers machinery show in the Western Hemisphere.
