ORLANDO – Champion Exposition Services announced June 18 the expansion of its Orlando facility to nearly double the size.

The expansion corresponds to the acquisition strategy of the Audie Group that took place in May 2007 and provided a solid customer base in Orlando, event management expertise and a strategic regional facility, led by industry veteran, Jim Audie.

“The expansion of the Orlando warehouse facility is prudent in this market,” said Steve McNally, executive vice president for Champion. “In addition to the great base of customers that have been with the Audie Group for years, Champion has a strong customer base with an annual rotation throughout Florida with an increasing presence in Orlando. With this expanded footprint in Orlando, we’re better equipped to serve our customers.”

As part of this expansion, Champion is reallocating resources from its Atlanta facility. The Orlando facility will continue to fulfill all the design, signage, display and construction requirements of events in Florida and the entire Southeast region.

Champion Exposition Services is a leading provider of comprehensive exposition and corporate event services and solutions. It has been a driving force in the industry for more than 20 years and is recognized as one of the top general service contractors in North America.
