Skyline's first pop-up display

It All Began with a Pop-Up Tent

Gordon Savoie was working for Rupp Industries when he designed a half-dome structure to provide shelter for workers as they installed outdoor HVAC units. While showcasing the product at a trade show, a neighboring exhibitor joked that if the tent was turned on its side, it could be used as a display.

Savoie didn't take the remark lightly and – turning that portable shelter into one of the earliest pop-up displays – launched Skyline in 1980.

Since then, Skyline has grown from Savoie selling wares out of a mid-sized Chrysler to a global leader in the trade show exhibit industry, with nearly 400 employees and 80 dealers across the globe. Working with brands of all sizes, the company creates award-winning trade show experiences through modular structures and high-impact graphics.

With a strong focus on innovation that dates to its founding, Skyline makes great design accessible to everyone.
