Since its founding in 1986, the company has focused on delivering tailored solutions for clients in need of high-quality, innovative exhibit designs. In the very beginning, the company operated out of a small apartment in Long Beach. Its growth has been driven by the leadership of John Funk, who acquired the company in 1995 after having served as a sales representative since its founding. Under Funk’s guidance, Skyline Displays of Orange County has transitioned into a well-established player in the trade show industry. The company now occupies 45,000 square feet of space in Lake Forest, which provides ample space for its showroom and extensive warehouse operations. In 2005, Skyline OC moved to its Lake Forest location. After selling its previous building, Funk found that the area offered ideal conditions for the company's next chapter. The business-friendly environment, along with high-quality business spaces that hadn’t yet been built out into office space, allowed Funk to design exactly what the company needed. The space was developed to include a showroom for showcasing the company’s extensive product offerings, including high-impact graphics and modular structures that serve a variety of business needs. Skyline Displays of Orange County sets itself apart by creating trade show exhibits that are accessible to businesses of all sizes. Whether working with a startup or a Fortune 500 company, they deliver solutions that elevate each client's trade show presence. By focusing on high-impact graphics and modular structures, Skyline Displays of Orange County is able to create exhibits that are visually stunning, flexible, and adaptable to each client’s specific requirements. In addition to custom design services, the company has been a pioneer in the rise of rental exhibits. Renting has become an increasingly popular option for businesses that may have fewer than 3 shows per year or prefer a more cost-effective and logistically easy solution. Skyline Displays of Orange County offers an extensive rental inventory. All a company needs to purchase are the graphics, offering exhibitors flexibility, affordability and customization. Skyline Displays of Orange County provides a full range of services, starting with an initial discovery meeting to assess each client's specific needs and goals. This meeting helps ensure the company creates the best possible solution that fits the exhibitor’s unique requirements. From there, the Skyline Team offers expert guidance and advice, helping businesses of all sizes navigate the process and providing insight before any product is ordered. This tailored approach ensures that every client receives the right support and expertise to create a successful and impactful exhibit. Funk noted that the most notable change in the trade show industry over the years has been the growing demand for backlit exhibits. The use of LED-edge lighting has become increasingly popular, enhancing the visual appeal of displays. The showroom documents recently completed projects, featuring everything from island configurations to museum showcase exhibits, allowing potential clients to see the full scope of their work. As the company continues to evolve, Funk and his team remain committed to helping businesses grow and succeed. One example of many is Urban Surfaces, a Corona-based company that began exhibiting with a modest 10-foot exhibit and has since upgraded to a full island exhibit (most recently exhibiting at the IBS show in Las Vegas). This growth, Funk says, is the most rewarding part of the business: watching clients flourish as their trade show presence expands. Next year, Skyline Displays of Orange County will celebrate its 40th anniversary, marking four decades of innovation and success in the trade show industry. At the same time, the company is also commemorating 20 years in its current Lake Forest location, where they’ve been able to expand their capabilities and continue serving businesses with cutting-edge solutions. With decades of expertise, Skyline Displays of Orange County remains a trusted partner for businesses looking to make a lasting impact at trade shows.
