Event Marketer: MadeFirst Named to Fab 50 List

We are pleased to announce that Event Marketer has recognized MadeFirst in their yearly “Fab 50” report. This list serves as an “annual editorial guide to the industry’s top builders.” In their announcement, the 2021 Fab 50 also acknowledges the challenges overcome by makers during the pandemic: a reduced number of trade shows, supply shortages, and increased cost of materials. In spite of these obstacles, fabricators worked together to meet demand and create stunning experiential builds. The team at Event Marketer seeks to recognize excellence, attention to detail, and stellar design in the wake of global crisis.

“Again and again, the organizations that comprise this year’s Fab 50 proved they were up to the task,” wrote a representative from Event Marketer. “They reached beyond their core capabilities to develop new skill sets, expand their virtual and hybrid event services, enhance their tech stacks, [and] develop proprietary event solution[s].”

In their section about MadeFirst, Event Marketer highlighted our build for CMA Country Christmas. This project brought together everything we love: woodworking, set construction, and lighting design. After outlining our capabilities – specifically our Kuka Arm, CNC routers, lasers, and state-of-the-art printers – Event Marketer described us as “a local shop with international reach.” This neatly summarizes our activity in 2021 (and our ambition for 2022).

A Year of Growth

We are proud to be named one of Event Marketer’s Fab 50. To us, this recognition serves as a reminder of the high standards that we strive for each and every day. 2021 has been an exciting year in the shop – we’ve taken on ambitious projects, partnered with new clients, and expanded to the West Coast. Our new location in Los Angeles, supplemented by the capabilities of our Nashville workshop, will empower us to build bigger and better than ever before. We look forward to providing five-star service from coast to coast in 2022.
