Lock in Your KBIS Exhibit Freight
The Premier Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) is the largest kitchen and bath expo in North America; brought to you by NKBA - the world's leading kitchen and bath association. Join in for KBIS' 60th anniversary show, highlighting new products, latest trends, and the opportunity to meet with leading brands on the show floor.
As a 25-year veteran in trade show shipping to KBIS and countless trade shows alike, we know it's critical for exhibitors to focus on business strategy and attention to detail months (and sometimes a year or longer) in advance.
The CTS team will take on all of the logistics details for your exhibit freight so you can put your attention on other areas in the planning process. Interested to learn more? Speak with one of our trade show freight experts to get started today and take one less thing off your checklist.
