Expanding Our Global Reach: Excellence in International Business

From our roots in the West Midlands, Taylex Group has significantly expanded in recent years, strengthening our capabilities and enhancing our global presence. What began with a core focus on CAD, technical expertise, and in-house production has evolved into a full-service partner for events and exhibitions across the UK, Europe, and the Middle East. Our ability to deliver exceptional projects worldwide has made us a trusted partner for prestigious brands, including Kawasaki, Royal Enfield, and Visa.

Our international expansion has been marked by key milestones:

• Middle East Expansion: In August 2023, we launched our Dubai office, Taylex Events LLC, at One Central, Dubai World Trade Centre. This division has already made an impact, securing work with major clients like Visa and supporting UK-based creative agencies. Our Dubai team continues to grow, expanding our services to meet the needs of the Middle Eastern market.
• High-Profile International Projects: From delivering the Media Oasis event in Paris for the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Media to the Ministry of Sport Pavilion at Saudi Village in Rome, our presence in the Middle East and Europe continues to expand.
• European Manufacturing Base: Our 10,000-square-foot warehouse in Poland, operating under European Partner Productions, supports our growing footprint. Recent European projects include EICMA in Milan, Eurofinance in Barcelona, and high-profile activations at Le Mans.
• Global Roadshows & Brand Activations: We continue to execute major brand activations, including the Johnnie Walker Global Roadshow, which has already made stops in Berlin and Athens and will continue in Rome in 2025.
• Major UK Events: In 2023, we played a pivotal role in brand activations at the Champions League Final at Wembley, reinforcing our expertise in large-scale global sporting events.
