Nimlok®, a division of Orbus Exhibit & Display Group®, proudly celebrates its 45th anniversary building and supplying modular exhibits and display solutions. Founded in the spring of 1970 in the United Kingdom by Neil Nimmo and Gerald Perutz, Nimlok has grown to become a world leader in creating custom modular exhibits trade show exhibits and displays.

“It is truly an honor to reach this anniversary milestone,” says Simon Perutz, P3 Group USA chairman. “It has been a remarkable and successful journey being an instrumental part of Nimlok’s growth from a small, one-man operation to the global network it is today.”

Nimlok was first developed to serve as a backdrop for photographers but was then adapted for display applications. The display was unique in that it used a clip that locked into panels without tools, making the solution lightweight, portable and reconfigurable. The concept of this lock-and-clip system spread to the US and Europe, growing into a global operation.

“KMK Industries/Nimlok Milwaukee signed on as the first US Nimlok dealer thirty-five years ago and we are proud to still be representing the Nimlok's quality display solutions,” says Patti Malliet, owner of KMK Industries/Nimlok Milwaukee. “Our partnership with Nimlok has supported the success of KMK Industries and we are very pleased to have contributed to the growth of Nimlok.”

Nimlok’s USA operation today is a division of Orbus Exhibit & Display Group and is known for producing high-quality custom modular and partially custom exhibits and displays that embody Nimlok’s modular roots. Supported by a growing distributor network, Nimlok continues to offer exhibit and display solutions to clients in all industries around the USA and the world.

“It is with pride and honor that I have been a Nimlok partner and dealer for over 20 years,” says Deb Venable, president of Nimlok Chicago. “Nimlok's strong business ethics, attention to detail, innovative product development and superior service has helped us and our clients grow for many, many years.”
