Through this outdoor theme exhibition, we presented a vibrant scene, in line with the theme of “prosperity” for the outdoor pavilion.

VINEKO General Manager Luo Xingrong stated that the key focus of green booth construction is recyclability, meaning that materials can be reused repeatedly. For this exhibition, VINEKO used mostly recyclable aluminum alloy for booth construction, and environmentally friendly paint for wall surfaces. The on-site green plants are also real plants, which will continue to be recycled and used after the event.
