- Washington State Department of Commerce, Gulfstream, and ES3 recognized for excellence in design and craftmanship
Paris. 21June 2023 . The best custom-built stands amongst over 300 exhibitors in the USA Partnership Pavilion at the Paris Air Show were revealed by Tom Kallman, CEO & President of Kallman Worldwide alongside Christina Jennings, Manager of Kallman Creative Services – a division of Kallman Worldwide Inc. – organizer of the USA Partnership Pavilion at the trade show.

Washington State Department of Commerce was awarded the top honor for best stand build over 50 sqm. The judges enjoyed the creative stand aesthetic; its fresh look was eye catching and draws the visitor in. They also noted that everyone on the stand was extremely friendly. Washington State’s booth also stands out for being made of completely sustainable materials, a statewide initiative to increase sustainability in the aerospace industry to combat climate change.
“The idea came about at Farnborough Airshow last year after a number of key achievements involving sustainability in aerospace,” exclaimed Robert Payne, Vice President of Marketing & Communications at Washington State Department of Commerce, in an interview after the award ceremony.
“We knew these things were coming down the pipeline and we were looking at our booth in Farnborough, and we thought, we have got to emulate the sustainability brand. And it’s so unique to us and the pacific northwest – the leader in sustainable aviation – our booth has almost 100% renewable energy, we have beautiful tall evergreen trees, and then we capped it off with a beautiful piece of indigenous art inside the booth. Looking back at that initial meeting with Tom Kallman, he immediately saw the vision and he said, ‘We can do that.’ Kallman [Creative Services] really just made our dream a reality.”
Gulfstream, from Savannah, Georgia (GA), stood out to the judges with their clean and modern overall design, awarding them the best stand build under 50 sqm. The furniture and fixings on the booth make it inviting to visitors.
ES3 of Clearfield, Utah (UT) was recognized as the best turnkey of the USA Partnership Pavilion. Not only did their booth catch the judges’ eye, also did their product. Similar to the Washington State, ES3 has a purposeful business mission–to improve the performance, maintenance, and supply of mission-critical and safety-of-flight components while reducing the environmental impact of aerospace production processes and the hazardous exposures of aviation maintenance crews.
