Blog 9 Trade Show Booths 9 Case Study: Designing Ramcar Batteries’ Custom Booth for AAPEX

When you set up at a massive show like AAPEX, you can’t just throw up a couple of banners and hope people notice your booth. You need a setup that pulls people in from across the hall, highlights what your brand stands for, and gives your team a comfortable place to actually get business done.

That was our exact goal when we teamed up with Ramcar Batteries. With over a century in automotive energy, they needed a clean, sharp booth that showed off their product line while making serious buyer meetings effortless.

Here is how we turned that vision into reality on the show floor.

Project at a Glance

  • Client: Ramcar Batteries
  • Show: AAPEX 2026, Las Vegas
  • Booth features: Four-sided hanging sign, lit product displays, front reception counter with video screens, enclosed glass conference room
  • Our scope: Design & 3D renderings, in-house fabrication, graphics, lighting, rigging, installation, dismantle & freight

The Build: Clean Lines and High Visibility

Automotive parts can be rugged and heavy, but the booth design around them should feel sleek and inviting. We leaned into crisp white finishes, integrated lighting, and smart architectural accents.

A few standout elements of the space:

  • A Bold Rectangular Hanging Sign: Suspended high above the booth, this four-sided sign made the Ramcar name visible from neighboring aisles before attendees even rounded the corner.
  • Clean Under-Counter LED Glow: We installed recessed, cool-white lighting along the bottom edge of the counters to give the front reception desk and displays a modern, floating look against the floor.
  • Frosted Glass Privacy Walls: Frosted vinyl striping along the conference room’s glass enclosure provided visual privacy for the team inside while still keeping the overall footprint open and airy.

A Smart Layout: Displaying Gear & Closing Deals

One of the biggest mistakes we see on trade show floors is cramming tables full of loose inventory. We split Ramcar’s space into distinct areas so everything had room to breathe:

  1. Lit Product Displays: Custom shelving with clean under-shelf lighting gave Ramcar’s commercial and Motolite battery lines the spotlight, letting visitors check out the build quality up close.
  2. Front Desk & Video Screens: A welcoming front counter kept conversation moving, while wall-mounted flat screens looped animated explainers of Ramcar’s battery tech.
  3. An Enclosed Glass Conference Room: Big deals don’t happen standing in a noisy aisle. We built a dedicated, semi-private conference room with frosted glass, recessed ceiling lights, seating for eight, and its own presentation monitor. Inside, we wrapped the walls with Ramcar’s official company timeline and manufacturing milestones—partially visible from the outside through the frosted glass, but primarily serving as an impressive, branded backdrop for the Ramcar team when sitting down with key distributors to talk numbers.

A Stress-Free Turnkey Experience

Building a great booth is great, but getting it set up without headaches is what really matters. We handled the complete turnkey package:

  • Rigging safety checks and structural coordination with convention staff.
  • On-time delivery, electrical hookups, and full installation before opening day.
  • Teardown and freight logistics once the show wrapped up.

When Kristina and the Ramcar crew showed up in Las Vegas, all they had to do was grab their badges and get straight to business.

What Ramcar Had to Say

“We had a wonderful experience working with Ommy Exhibits for AAPEX 2026! From the initial design renderings to the final installation, their team did a fantastic job bringing our vision to life. The quality of the finished booth, attention to detail, and overall ease of the process exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t have been happier with how everything came together and look forward to working with them again!”

Kristina Geddis, Marketing Manager, Ramcar Batteries
