Expo Centric WA 2026 has been launched by Expo Centric and Event Mill as a new joint venture focused on strengthening exhibition and event production capabilities across Western Australia. The new operation is based at a 2,200-square-meter manufacturing and production facility in Jandakot, providing local capacity for exhibit design, manufacturing, pre-builds, storage, logistics, and event delivery.
The launch is expected to support exhibitors, brands, retailers, event agencies, and exhibition organizers seeking locally produced exhibition stands and event environments in Western Australia. By combining Expo Centric’s national exhibition expertise with Event Mill’s established Western Australian operations, the joint venture aims to reduce the logistical challenges associated with transporting large exhibition builds from Australia’s east coast to Perth.
Expo Centric WA Brings Local Exhibition Production to Western Australia
A major focus of Expo Centric WA is increasing the amount of exhibition design and manufacturing work completed locally. According to Expo Centric, many large custom exhibition stands for Western Australian events are currently manufactured on Australia’s east coast before being transported thousands of kilometers to Perth.
This interstate production model can significantly increase project costs. Expo Centric estimates that a large custom exhibition stand in Perth can cost approximately $50,000 more than a comparable project in Sydney, with freight, travel, labor, and other logistical expenses contributing to the difference.
The new Jandakot facility is designed to address these challenges by bringing manufacturing, storage, pre-builds, and other production capabilities closer to Western Australian clients.
2,200-Square-Meter Jandakot Facility Expands Capacity
The new Jandakot exhibition production facility provides Expo Centric WA with infrastructure for a broad range of event and exhibition projects. The site includes custom joinery and fabrication capabilities, wide-format printing, graphic production, audiovisual services, project storage, and logistics operations.
The facility also houses more than 2,000 Aluvision frames, supporting modular and custom exhibition stand construction. These resources allow project teams to prepare and test exhibition structures before they arrive at an event venue.
Full pre-builds can also be completed at the facility, allowing teams to conduct quality-control checks and provide opportunities for client inspections before installation. This approach can help identify potential issues earlier in the production process and streamline installation at the final event location.
Reducing Interstate Logistics for Perth Exhibition Projects
For Western Australian exhibitors, one of the key advantages of Expo Centric WA is the potential to reduce dependence on interstate transportation.
Large exhibition structures can require significant freight planning when manufactured on the east coast and transported to Perth. Travel requirements for project teams can also increase costs and complicate scheduling.
Expo Centric WA is designed to move more of the production process into Western Australia. Local manufacturing, storage, pre-building, and logistics can provide clients with a more centralized approach to managing exhibition and event projects.
Expo Centric CEO Stan Kruss highlighted the rising cost of transporting major exhibition builds from Australia’s east coast to Perth. He noted that he has personally travelled to Perth to deliver exhibition stands since 2008 and said the cost difference associated with Perth-based events has continued to increase.
Expo Centric and Event Mill Combine Exhibition Expertise
The joint venture brings together two complementary areas of expertise. Expo Centric contributes its national experience in exhibition design, production, and event environments, while Event Mill provides an established operational presence in Western Australia.
Event Mill directors Jesse Wilson and Nick Spencer said the partnership is intended to represent a significant investment in local people, equipment, manufacturing capabilities, and infrastructure rather than simply establishing a sales office in Perth.
This local-first approach is expected to strengthen the companies’ ability to manage exhibition and event projects from initial design through manufacturing, pre-build, logistics, and installation.
Exhibition Stands, Brand Activations and Event Environments
Expo Centric WA will provide services across a wide range of exhibition and experiential projects. Its capabilities include individual exhibition stands, complete show builds, brand activations, event environments, retail displays, and permanent installations.
These services can support companies participating in trade shows and exhibitions as well as brands looking to create immersive environments for marketing campaigns and live events.
The new operation is also positioned to work with retailers and agencies that require custom-built environments, branded displays, and experiential installations.
Support for Western Australian Exhibitors and Event Organizers
The new venture will support existing Expo Centric clients exhibiting in Western Australia while also targeting new opportunities with local businesses.
Western Australian brands, exhibition agencies, retailers, venues, and event organizers are among the groups expected to benefit from the expanded local production capabilities.
Having production infrastructure in the state can also provide greater flexibility for projects that require last-minute adjustments, additional fabrication, storage, or logistical support.
New Jobs Across Design, Manufacturing and Event Production
The launch of Expo Centric WA is also expected to create employment opportunities within Western Australia. Roles are planned across several areas of the exhibition and events supply chain, including design, project management, manufacturing, printing, audiovisual production, logistics, and installation.
Developing these capabilities locally could help strengthen Western Australia’s broader exhibition and events ecosystem while creating a workforce with specialized experience in event production and experiential design.
Victoria’s Secret Project Highlights Experiential Capabilities
Expo Centric’s previous branded projects demonstrate the type of work that can be delivered across retail and experiential environments. One example is a Victoria’s Secret branded retail activation featuring product displays, mannequins, graphics, and custom architectural elements.
Such projects illustrate how exhibition production capabilities can extend beyond traditional trade show stands into retail activations, brand experiences, and customized event environments.
With the launch of Expo Centric WA, similar capabilities will now have a dedicated Western Australian production base.
What Expo Centric WA Means for the Western Australian Events Industry
The establishment of a dedicated local production facility represents a significant development for Western Australia’s exhibition and events industry. Instead of relying heavily on production facilities located thousands of kilometers away, clients can access a wider range of exhibition manufacturing and event production services within the state.
The combination of local infrastructure, experienced teams, fabrication capabilities, audiovisual production, storage, and logistics could help businesses manage projects more efficiently.
It may also encourage more Western Australian brands and organizations to explore customized exhibition stands and experiential event environments without facing the same level of interstate logistics involved in east-coast production.
Expo Centric WA 2026: A New Chapter for Exhibition Production
The launch of Expo Centric WA marks a new chapter in exhibition stand design and event production in Western Australia. The 2,200-square-meter Jandakot facility provides the joint venture with the infrastructure required to manufacture, pre-build, store, and deliver exhibition projects locally.
By combining Expo Centric’s national experience with Event Mill’s Western Australian presence, the partnership aims to offer a more integrated solution for exhibitors, brands, retailers, agencies, venues, and event organizers.
As demand for customized exhibition stands, brand activations, retail environments, and experiential events continues to evolve, the new facility positions Expo Centric WA to play a growing role in Western Australia’s exhibition and events market.
