Suwanee, GA — Georgia Expo, a leading U.S. manufacturer of pipe and drape and event infrastructure products, is proud to celebrate its 40th anniversary, marking four decades of service to the trade show and events industry.
Founded in 1986 by Philip DiTrolio, Georgia Expo was built on a commitment to reliability, fast turnaround, and customer-focused solutions. After working for Crown Industries in New Jersey, DiTrolio returned to Georgia to launch a company dedicated to supporting an industry that depends on precision and timing.
In its early years, Georgia Expo focused on trade show essentials such as uprights, bases, drape supports, banjo drape, and table skirts, operating with a hands-on approach that often included same-day shipments and time-sensitive deliveries. That early mindset shaped a lasting company philosophy: never say no—always find a solution.
Today, Georgia Expo manufactures in the USA, under one roof, giving the company full control over quality, production timelines, and customer service. While the business has grown significantly, it has remained a customer-tailored organization—an approach that continues to drive its success.
Georgia Expo now serves a broad range of customers including trade show service providers, party rental companies, audio-visual and production firms, stadiums, arenas, convention centers, churches, and more nationwide. Though products have evolved, their purpose remains the same: pipe and drape is still one of the most economical ways to define, divide, and decorate event spaces.
As part of its 40th anniversary year, Georgia Expo is also recognizing the people behind the products, with many employees celebrating 10, 20, and even 30+ years with the company—reflecting a culture built on experience, craftsmanship, and long-term commitment.
Throughout 2026, Georgia Expo will celebrate this milestone while continuing to invest in U.S. manufacturing and the customers it proudly serves.
