Trade Show Executive’s 8th Annual Directory of Who’s Who Among General & Specialty Service Contractors contin-ues 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 informa-tion 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?
Who are their major clients? TSE’s Who’s Who Among General & Specialty Service Contractors directory provides the essen-tial info you’ll need to make good deci-sions for your business.
