Our CEO Nick Travelstead has been elected to the Board of Directors of PAVE Global.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of helping global brands navigate increasingly complex supply chains and logistics. One lesson has remained constant: innovation begins with people. Investing in the next generation of talent isn't just valuable—it's essential.
I'm especially grateful to the team at Travelstead. Working alongside such talented professionals has shaped my leadership and made this opportunity possible. Their trust, collaboration, and commitment inspire me every day, and this recognition reflects what we've accomplished together.
I believe leadership is about creating opportunities, sharing knowledge, and investing in others. Thank you to the PAVE Global Board for your confidence, to my industry colleagues for your partnership, and to everyone at Travelstead for your continued support. I'm excited for the opportunity to serve and for what lies ahead.

Great design deserves exceptional ex*****on.
The most memorable retail stores, hotels, restaurants, and branded environments don't happen by chance. Behind every opening day is a carefully orchestrated supply chain that ensures every fixture, finish, piece of furniture, visual element, and creative asset arrives exactly where it needs to be—on time and installation-ready.
At Travelstead, we specialize in the logistics behind immersive environments.
From Owner-Supplied Materials (OSM) and Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment (FF&E) to visual merchandising, signage, and custom creative assets, we manage the complexity so architects, designers, store development teams, and project managers can stay focused on bringing their vision to life.
Our expertise includes:
• Global freight forwarding and transportation
• Consolidation and inventory management
• White-glove warehousing and distribution
• Project-specific logistics and installation coordination
• Retail rollouts, hospitality openings, remodels, and refresh programs
We're not just moving freight—we're protecting brand experiences.
Whether you're opening one flagship location or coordinating hundreds of projects across multiple markets, Travelstead provides the visibility, precision, and ex*****on needed to deliver every detail with confidence.
Because exceptional environments begin long before the doors open.

Summer Solstice in NYC — Take 4! 🗽✨
For the 4th year running, we gathered in New York City to celebrate the Travelstead Summer Solstice — and what a week it was!
Mother Nature showed up and showed out in the city that never sleeps — the beating heart of the fashion world — and the energy was electric, with the NBA championship run and the at MetLife Stadium bringing the whole world’s eyes (and excitement) to New York! 🏀⚽🔥
This week was all about connection: new friends and old friends, colleagues and clients, all in one place. We’re endlessly grateful for everyone who traveled near and far to be with us — and while we missed some of our Travelstead family who couldn’t make it, the love in the room more than made up for it. 💛
Huge shoutout to our incredible partners from Porcelanosa, Winston Retail, Dynamic Resources for joining us and making the week unforgettable.
With absolute gratitude, we want to recognize:
🌟 Jonathan Berlin
🌟 Jon Harari
🌟 Stephen Heckman
🌟 Kelly Ramsey, Sharon Govern & Brad Hurt
🌟 Tom Walsh, Henry Ramirez, Patrick Stringer & Matthew Mol
🌟 Nespresso
🌟 Bridget Thompson & the Macy’s team
…and so many more friends who make every single day at Travelstead such a gift. 🙏
Here’s to the people, the partnerships, and the pure NYC magic that make this industry so special. Can’t wait for year 5!🥂

Once again, the team at PAVE Global planned an amazing event at Shop Enhancing Retail Environments & Experiences Marketplace in New Orleans! The Social Party is always such a fun way to celebrate the annual show, reconnect with industry friends, and this year enjoy a big night in the Big Easy.
We at Travelstead couldn’t be more excited to sponsor this event once again. Huge thanks and congratulations to everyone on the team and the PAVE board for making it all happen.
