The facts, nothing but the facts.~We can say a lot of things about ourselves that are self-congratulatory, but in the end, nothing matters but our work, so we have to put that front and centre. If you like our work, give us a call, and well - if you don’t - call us anyway and tell us why. We know the world is broken into 4 distinct learning styles and one of them is the left brained, engineering type. So for you we offer some factual information about us.
• Xibita was founded in 1979 as a manufacturer of Custom Exhibits and Parade Floats.
• Xibita has a related company - The Portables which specializes in portable tradeshow displays. Visit them, they would love you to take a peek, but make sure you come back; we will wait for you -
www.theportables.com
• Xibita has a full millwork and fabrication department in our 30,000 sq.ft. manufacturing
facility. They make really cool wooden things.~~Wherever you need us, there we be. ~• Xibita, along with The Portables, has 7 offices across Canada, but more importantly has a worldwide partner network that would allow you to exhibit internationally without feeling alone.
• Xibita also has a metal workshop and large-format graphic production facility. And just to keep to the
facts, when we say large-format graphic production facility, we don’t mean one inkjet printer sitting in the corner. Xibita and The Portables have invested $1,325,000 +/- 5% in printing and digital cutting equipment. Photographic direct to print lasers, flatbed printers, digital CNC cutters and lots of other really neat equipment. Come by our facility and we will take you on a tour.~~Who said nice guys finish last.~• Xibita’s designers have won a ton of awards. These awards are not only for us...our clients have won numerous best-in-shows for their booth design as well. We say their booth design, because we believe a design is collaborative and after all why wouldn’t we include them in all the fun.
• Xibita’s staff are super-nice people. Now the left-brainers might look at that statement and say that there is no evidentiary support for that claim. But we all asked our mothers and they reaffirmed it, and it is a fact of life that mothers are always right.
We really do enjoy what we do. Our pricing is fair, our ethics are beyond reproach and our designs are
wicked awesome. So whether you need a straight-forward kiosk or a massive custom tradeshow exhibit,

For all of our sakes let’s keep this short and to the point. ~We live on this planet just like our clients. We make environmental decisions everyday and sometimes there is a trade-off between being environmentally friendly and greater profit. At Xibita we try and balance the two. Wherever possible we use local building products (to minimize the damage that transporting goods has on the planet), we do not use toxic materials in our building process, we aggressively recycle, we use as much post-consumer materials as possible in our design and build process, and to top it off we recently switched to energy efficient lighting in our 30,000 square foot manufacturing facility. We are not perfect, but we try hard and will continue to make ecologically sound business choices. If you wish a copy of our environmental manifesto please email us at green@xibita.com. This is an internal document that our staff lives by.
