TETRIX, a display system brand has been innovating, building and selling all forms of expo stands online since 2006. The display systems has been sold in the close markets all over Scandinavia. From the early day small, one man company, established in a basement of the little town of Jakobstad in Finland, the enterprise has grown and found broader markets. In the case of Russia – Ekspofabrika!

The very first transaction TETRIX had in Russia had nothing to do with prints or exhibition stands or money or negotiations or lunches with possible customers. It had nothing to do with business of any sort. It started in fact with a possibility to help children. We helped Father Frost to surprise some kids at the children´s hospital in St. Petersburg. Well, if nothing else, it couldn’t hurt to spread some good karma – and who wouldn’t love to see the smile of a kid that happens to forget her/his illness, even if just for a second.

Somehow though, the idea of TETRIX seemed to fit in Russia inmany ways. The products had a very high standard of quality, and looking at the price level and products on the Russian market, we little by little started to realize that there is a gap that fits us perfectly. We have the quality, the unique products and the cost effectiveness to carry us all the way.

Looking for a place of business, we were introduced to a space in the old TV factory on Vasilyevsky island, in central St. Petersburg. It was almost too good to be true and we got very excited. TETRIX Russia, as we called it, could come true – all bits of the puzzle were locking into place. To make things more “convincing”, as it became for us – you have to know Natalya. Natalya, who sadly is no longer with us, is the grand mother of Ekspofabrikas director.
