Kallman Worldwide Launches Inaugural USA & Canada Partnership Pavilions at DSEI Japan 2025

Waldwick, NJ, USA and Tokyo, Japan – May 14, 2025 — Kallman Worldwide, a leader in organizing U.S. and international industry participation at global trade shows, proudly debuts the USA and Canada Partnership Pavilions at DSEI Japan 2025, solidifying its commitment to strengthening trans-pacific defense and security collaboration.

Held at Makuhari Messe in Tokyo, DSEI Japan is the only large-scale, fully integrated defense and security event in the country, and one of the most significant in the Asia-Pacific region. With mounting regional challenges and increasing defense modernization, DSEI provides a strategic platform for industry leaders to connect and collaborate.

Kallman’s Partnership Pavilions serve as centralized hubs where buyers, suppliers, and decision-makers can engage directly with North America’s most innovative defense and security companies at the trade show.

This year’s pavilions bring together a record number of exhibitors from across the United States and Canada:

• 42 U.S. exhibitors representing 21 states and the District of Columbia, including key defense hubs such as California, Texas, and Virginia.
• 3 Canadian exhibitors, with representation from British Columbia and Ontario.
• 14 companies are new to the Japanese market, and 23 are exhibiting at DSEI Japan for the first time.
• Over 1,100 square meters of dedicated exhibitor space—2,190 square meters when including aisleways.

The Pavilions will also host a series of events with key industry leaders as sponsors. These events provide invaluable opportunities for networking and bilateral collaboration.

The feature event of the Partnership Pavilions is the Opening Ceremony, in partnership with Boeing, Leonardo DRS, and Lockheed Martin. The Opening Ceremony will take place on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, at 1:30 PM at the Partnership Pavilions Meeting Point, H8-420.
