Precision as a Standard
Every installation and dismantle is treated like the one that will be remembered — because it usually is.

CLIENT VOICES

Trusted by exhibit partners

Long-term relationships, not one-off transactions — in the words of the teams who count on CORE.

Over the years, we have successfully worked together on several exhibits at shows across the country. I would like to thank you and the entire Core Labor Solutions team for your support. Your attention to detail and positive “can-do” attitude, combined with our strategic collaborations, have proven that Core is a true leader in the trade show and event I&D labor market. Coast to coast, your crew has been a pleasure to work with, and you have built strong confidence within our organization to rely on your capabilities and resourcefulness as a trusted partner in a demanding, deadline-oriented industry. We look forward to a continued partnership.
Ed Zilinskas EVP of Strategic Development Lakeshore Exhibit Service, Inc.
Core Labor Solutions has become a trusted extension of the Displayco team. As fellow family-owned businesses, we share a commitment to quality, reliability, and exceptional customer service. We value our partnership and confidently recommend Core for labor support services.
Carson Hagerman Account Manager Displayco
CORE Labor Solutions met with our client, reviewed the scope of work, and the crew performed the work with a great understanding of what we were looking for. CORE always kept us and our client informed of progress. All work was completed accurately, professionally, and quickly.
Ed Eldreth Harford Systems, Inc.
I want to thank CORE Labor Solutions for their consistent support of me and my clients over the past 10 years. I have been in the trade show and convention business for over 40 years. Times have changed, but the basic need for labor support is still there. I can always count on CORE to be where I need them, and when they need to be there. Show setup times are getting shorter and shorter, so “late” is not an option. I don’t have to worry about CORE and their support.
