Quantum Exposition is the tradeshow and event services division of Lancaster Management Services, Inc., positioned as a cost-conscious General Service Contractor for the exhibits and events industry. The company provides a comprehensive suite of services including show management assistance, online ordering systems for exhibitors, storage and logistics, and nationwide labor services for installation and dismantling (I&D). Clients range from show organizers to individual exhibiting companies. Quantum Exposition leverages the nearly two decades of experience of its parent company, Lancaster Management, which was founded by Patrick Lancaster in 2004 and grew from a Midwest-focused I&D service into a national provider for tradeshows, museums, and retail fixture applications.
The formation of Quantum Exposition was a direct response to requests from existing customers seeking a new option in the general service contracting sector. The division is directed by Butch Melton, a 35-year industry veteran with extensive experience in production and sales management for major North American events. His career began in 1980 and includes management roles at industry leaders like GES and Freeman. On August 4, 2025, Nth Degree, a prominent event management and experiential marketing firm, announced its acquisition of both Lancaster Management Services and Quantum Exposition. This acquisition aims to integrate Quantum's strong Midwest presence into Nth Degree's national framework, which spans over 30 cities, to enhance service capabilities, particularly in retail and permanent installations.
