50 years
of creation.

Nathalie Laborde and Fabrice Laborde Nathalie Laborde and Fabrice Laborde
Nathalie Laborde and Fabrice Laborde Co-presidents and sole shareholders of the GALIS Group

We celebrated our 50th anniversary in 2023, marking half a century of creativity and entrepreneurial adventure. Within our group, people and creativity are the very essence of our DNA. Kindness, tolerance, mutual support, the sharing of ideas and a passion for work well done are our core values.

If we have reached a leading position in our market, it is no accident, but the result of the way we manage and practise our craft. Our guiding principle has always been: creativity and innovation at the heart of every strategic decision. In our view, there is no lasting success without a team that shares the same values, whether in the practice of the profession or in client service.

Our mission is to imagine and design exhibition stands for congresses and trade shows, brand spaces, and unique, memorable events. Our ambition is to deliver high-quality work for the greatest satisfaction of our clients.

Our group continues to grow, with steady growth of 10 % every year. All our areas of expertise are integrated, from design and event creation through to production. This approach forms an agency offering that is unique in the space design and events market.

CSR matters are today at the heart of our strategy. They are the common thread guiding the design of all our client projects. GALIS is firmly committed on this issue and has obtained several ISO certifications and other CSR labels.

The custom stand

This is our original business. With over 50 years of experience in the design and production of exhibition stands, the impact of the stands imagined and built by our teams is second to none.

Establishing a brand identity, communicating about new products or services, strengthening the customer relationship… the objectives of a stand space at a corporate event are many!

Galis offers its clients a comprehensive creative and technical response based on the strategic challenges of the event. Different types of spaces and designs are used to meet the client's image and return-on-investment (ROI) objectives. A sustainable, eco-responsible and adaptable design approach is applied to every project.
