Made in the USA by Abex
The products I sell on this site are all made in the USA by Abex Displays in Los Angeles. As one of their dealers I am proud to represent one of the premier exhibit manufacturers in this country. They have a large manufacturing facility and employ hundreds of people in the design, engineering, manufacturing and distribution of exhibits. Abex stands behind every product they make, and offer their customers through their dealer network, a limited lifetime warranty on the major components of their exhibit packages.
What About Imports?
In a word: JUNK. I've seen them. I've used them. I've imported them. There isn't a single one that I can stand behind, represent, or recommend to any of my customers. Shoddy engineering, poor design and inferior components are commonplace. They are cheap to buy, but in the long run, they are expensive to own.
I've seen frames that won't pop up, hubs that fall apart and magnetic strips and components that are so poorly made that they can't even hold the panels on the frame. Importers can buy a complete 10' booth all day long in China for about $160.00 USD. Add another $25.00 for sea freight and you're all set. Being mostly made of aluminum, no US import duty either. What a great deal? If you're interested you can buy one on eBay or hundreds of other web sites for around $699.00. Just try and get it serviced or repaired once you own it!
The Grand Scheme of Things
I don't know about you, but I like to own and use quality products. Whether it is a computer, printer, saw or any other piece of equipment, I prefer to pay a little extra up front for quality. If it can be a product made in the USA, that's even better in my book. The four products here will cover 90% of most exhibit requirements. We drop ship direct from the factory in Los Angeles to keep our operating costs to a minimum. We look forward to becoming one of your suppliers. Go USA.
