Innovation on display

By Emma Peterson. 

From groundbreaking products to new business solutions, expo floors connect contractors with the innovations and partnerships that drive growth. 

One of the most exciting parts of any industry event is the expo hall. Expo halls are typically filled with tables and/or booths showcasing the best and brightest of the industry. From new products to innovative software solutions and beyond, you can find everything your business needs and more on an expo floor.  

Here at OutdoorCoffeeShop™, our crew has gotten to experience this firsthand. For example, when we were at the 2026 Northeast Spa and Pool Association (NESPA)’s 2026 show, we interview Greg Hryniewicz from Hyde Concrete, a company providing a full-package concrete system that doesn’t require any welding!  

In our interview, Greg showcased Hyde’s innovative system, sharing, “We designed a patent pending frame system. This system is made by a laser tube cutter which precisely cuts our pieces so they lock together perfectly, completely flush. And these interlocking pieces take the place of a traditional welded frame.”  

Greg and the Hyde team developed this system after two decades of experience in the concrete industry. He explained the benefits of replacing that traditional welded system:  

Our frame system can cover everything from four and a half inches to 48 inches without any cutting or welding. So, our pitch as a company is that we can not only lay the concrete out for outdoor designs, but we can build the frame that that concrete goes around. Meaning whatever design an architect comes up with, we can make happen all at one company.  

Hyde Concrete's complete package solution is just one example of the type of innovative products and systems that you can find in expo halls.
