Modern Expo (Modern-Expo LLC, Lutsk), Ukraine’s largest manufacturer of retail equipment and solutions, rented 1,600 square meters for its pavilion at EuroShop 2026 in Düsseldorf, which is held every three years and positions itself as the world’s largest retail exhibition. rented 1,600 square meters for its pavilion and became the largest exhibitor among 1,800 participants, who in total occupy about 103,000 square meters of the exhibition.
“We participated in the exhibition for the first time 24 years ago. As our CEO (and owner – IF-U) Petro Pylypuk recalled, at that time we rented 16 square meters for our stand, and this year – 1,600 square meters,” said Dmytro Vysyn, director of business development at Modern Expo, to the Interfax-Ukraine agency.
According to him, since then, the company has expanded from a manufacturer and seller of retail equipment to a supplier of ready-made solutions in the modern retail ecosystem — from automated micro-markets to intelligent “last mile” logistics systems, including the creation of parcel locker systems.
Visin specified that Modern Expo offers ready-made solutions for creating small-format stores, which are now gaining popularity.
He added that with the help of a network of parcel lockers, the company also helps its clients develop online commerce, citing the example of Polish electronics retailer Media Expert, which started with six parcel lockers in addition to its offline stores, and now has hundreds, as well as Polish DIY retailer Castorama and Ukrainian retail chain Epicenter.
“And in all these projects, we also provided consulting, advising clients on how to build it all correctly,” explained the business development director.
The expert emphasized that this involves not just supplying equipment, but turnkey solutions and their continuous development. As an example, he cited a new option in the parcel locker, where couriers on electric mopeds can use its compartment to change and recharge their batteries.
Visin also noted that another relatively new feature is after-sales service—ongoing maintenance and support for the technological solutions provided.
“That is, we started with shelves and cash registers, then added refrigerators, and now we have complete solutions—self-checkout and digital signage. We plan to go public, we plan to resell some solutions – for kitchens, for example. That is, so that the customer can get a complete solution for their store from a single source. Plus expertise and after-sales service afterwards,” the development director summed up.
As the agency Interfax-Ukraine was told in the pavilion, it was completely designed and manufactured (except for the lighting) in-house and will be returned to Lutsk after the exhibition. Among the new solutions are more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient CO2 refrigeration equipment, which is becoming the standard in Western markets, self-service checkouts, modular concepts for mini-stores near homes with a coffee area, takeaway food, and refrigeration equipment, and post boxes for automated returns.
The company is represented at the exhibition in Düsseldorf by a team of 150 specialists — engineers, developers, analysts, and top managers.
In addition to Modern Expo, the exhibition features such Ukrainian companies as refrigeration equipment manufacturer UBC Group, retailer Fozzy Group, commercial equipment supplier PrJSC “AgroResource” (Rivne), system integrator DEPS Solutions (Kyiv), advertising agency “Partizan” (Lutsk), payment solutions company PayKit (Kharkiv), and commercial refrigeration equipment manufacturer VIK Hitline (Kharkiv).
UBC Group, which is participating in EuroShop for the second time this year, told Interfax-Ukraine that it has doubled the size of its pavilion.
According to information on the Modern Expo website, the company has implemented more than 1 million projects worldwide since 1997. It currently includes nine production units specializing in various types of equipment, with 75,000 square meters of production space in Lutsk and 12,500 square meters in Lublin (Poland). The company employs over 2,200 people, and its products are exported to more than 75 countries.
