The expansion empowers MadeFirst to bring their trademark combination of fantastic exhibits and unparalleled customer service to the West Coast.

Bigger Space, Bigger Projects

MadeFirst now has a fully functional second location for our Nashville-based experiential marketing team. This expansion has granted us a combined 75,000 square feet of space, where we can take on larger projects with more resources at our disposal. We’re equipped to tackle logistics and installations for projects of any size.

“We now have storage facilities in both locations, so our space is definitely a huge advantage for clients looking for large-scale builds,” stated Hammel.

Delivering Amazing Experiences in California and Beyond

Over the years, MadeFirst has worked on countless California-based projects. As demand grew, our strategy needed to grow as well. This flexibility, adaptation, and client-first attitude is the backbone of MadeFirst. Now we’re bringing that trademark Southern hospitality to the West Coast.

Our recent expansion, in tandem with our supplemental capabilities in Tennessee, allows us to serve the Los Angeles market better than ever before. With our central hub in Nashville, we are able to quickly produce displays for a trade show in San Francisco, a festival in Florida, and everything in between. No matter where your event is taking place, we’re here to deliver beautifully fabricated pieces and five-star service.

Minimal Stress Meets Memorable Service

Too often, tight deadlines and changing needs cause trouble in the fabricator-client relationship. We’ve decided to do things differently.

MadeFirst infuses the hospitality and charm of the South into each business dealing. With a focus on transparency and effective project management, our Nashville team members have helped high-powered clients to achieve amazing results (without unneeded stress along the way). Their reviews praise the work and the experience they had working with MadeFirst’s project managers.

“Great to work with; [they] took my idea and made it better. Any issue that came along, they've been quick to respond.”

We’re excited to bring our way of doing business out west. To learn more about MadeFirst’s expansion, contact us today.
