Trade Show Executive’s 7th Annual 

Directory of Who’s Who Among General 

& Specialty Service Contractors continues 

to provide our readers with valuable 

facts and figures on the most active 

service contractors in the U.S. This 

year, there are 227, including 76 general 

service contractors and 151 specialty 

contractors. For the second year, we’ve 

added listings from the membership 

rolls of ESCA, and once again express 

our gratitude to Executive Director Larry 

Arnaudet and his staff for making this 

data available to TSE. Additionally, we 

have expanded our selection of categories 

to include “Exhibitor Training & 

Education,” reflecting the growing impetus 

by exhibitors to maximize their trade 

show results. 

Whether you are searching for a new 

service provider or contact information 

in any of our 27 categories, you’ll 

find it here: phone, fax, website, email 

address and top officers. In keeping with 

our reputation for relentless attention to 

accuracy and detail, 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. 

A total of 29 companies provided 

details for expanded listings that contain 

key facts and figures about their businesses: 

Who are their major clients? 

How many shows do they expect to 

service this year? How many employees 

and offices do they have? TSE’s Who’s 

Who Among General & Specialty Service 

Contractors again provides you with the 

valuable data you’ll need to make better 

business decisions. 

Who’s That?
