Logistics

Vehicle access to the exhibition halls is usually organised via Checkpoint 2. Upon arrival, those delivering goods pay a refundable deposit of CHF/EUR 100. The transhipment slot will be between 30 and 90 minutes depending on the size of the vehicle.

Same-level deliveries to Halls 1 to 6 at Messe Zürich are possible via delivery levels 0, 1 and 2. Hall 7 is accessed via these delivery levels using the two goods lifts A and B. After unloading, it is possible for vehicles to be left, for a charge, in the Messe Zürich car park on days when the trade fair is running. The car park has space for around 2,200 vehicles, and is now also equipped with electric charging stations.

Stand construction and event structures

Do you need help with stand construction, rigging or inscriptions? Our team will be pleased to support you and will refer you to our competent network if necessary. When it comes to event infrastructure our most important partner is our sister company expomobilia. With its many years’ experience, expomobilia ensures that your trade fair and event structures not only look good but are also highly functional and stable.

Customs clearance

Goods that you bring with you when crossing the border into Switzerland are subject to customs duty and must be declared under the customs regulations, either

• for temporary use
• for definitive import or
• as good in transit

Our Messe Zürich forwarding agent Sempex will be pleased to advise you and, if required, will take care of all the customs formalities for you. This will save you any inconvenience and greatly reduce your workload.

Ticketing

If required, the Messe Zürich team will also take charge of your guest management. We perform the ticketing and visitor registration for you and set up a self-badging gate for admission control. After the event, we provide you with all the visitor statistics and evaluations.

Safety

We have comprehensive technical and personnel measures in place to ensure the safety of our guests, exhibitors and organisers at all times. Messe Zürich has a clear visitor guidance system should an evacuation prove necessary and defibrillators are positioned at all the critical points of our venue.
