I have previously owned businesses in almost every segment of the trade show market during my career. Astor-Group takes my experience, and that of my colleagues, and focuses on high-value clients who demand extraordinary design results, and a high level of service expertise. This strategy ensures that their marketing programs are both memorable on the show floor and cost-efficient in a highly competitive tradeshow environment. Astor Group is straight-forward and honest in its approach, bringing a highly motivated team of skilled professionals to provide our clients with the knowledge and support they need to set themselves apart from their competition. Our goal is to inform, inspire, and achieve memorable results for our clients. A client once told us that we are the invisible extension of their marketing team! That sums it up pretty well.

I created the company in 1985 to compliment the trade show decorating business which I owned at the time which needed a line of portable displays for exhibitors who were in need of short-term rentals. In time we created successful products which led to creating a distribution network and in the 90's expanded the product offering to a full complement of products that spanned all product lines currently offered in the trade show market. In 2005 the line of Module Extrusions was added to allow Classic to move into the custom hybrid display business.

Classic Exposition was created in 1980 as a trade show decorating company to compete with both local and national contractors who serviced trade shows in the Portland, and Seattle markets. In 1990 G.E.S. Exposition Services purchased our Portland and Seattle business, but Classic Displays, Classic Sign Systems, and Classic Registration Services continued to operate as separate entities.
