Who’s
Who
Among General & Specialty
Service Contractors
Trade Show Executive’s 8th Annual
Directory of Who’s Who Among General
& Specialty Service Contractors continues to provide our readers with valuable
data and contact information on the
most active service contractors in the
U.S. This year, there are 250, including
81 general service contractors and 169
specialty contractors. Once again, we’ve
added listings from the membership rolls
of the Exhibition Services & Contractors
Association (ESCA), and express our
gratitude to Executive Director Larry
Arnaudet and his staff for making this
information available to TSE.
Search any of our 27 categories to find
new service contractors or updated
contact information for those already
familiar to you. We’ve provided: phone,
fax, website, e-mail address and the top
officer for each company. In keeping
with our unwavering attention to detail
and accuracy, every entry in TSE’s Who’s
Who directory has been updated and
verified to reflect any changes during the
past year in personnel, contact information and other key data.
Additionally, a total of 34 companies
provided details for expanded listings
that contain key facts and figures about
their businesses: How many shows do
they expect to service this year? In how
many major cities do they have offices?
