2025 CastleTop® Press Release

Georgia Expo Expands CastleTop® Product Line with Three New Patents
Enhancing Flexibility and Efficiency in Pipe and Drape Solutions

Suwanee, GA – March 19th, 2025 – Georgia Expo Manufacturing has been awarded three new patents for
accessories that enhance the CastleTop® system, further strengthening its position as a Pipe and Drape
industry leader. These additions provide greater versatility, efficiency, and ease of use for event professionals.

The newly patented accessories include:

• CastleTop® Valance Hangers (Patent No. D1,031,945 S—Issued 6/18/24)—Designed to create double and
  triple drape walls and creative draping designs from a single upright.
• CastleTop® Wall Mount (Patent No. US 11,627,824 B2 – Issued 4/18/23) – This mounting system allows
  drape to be attached directly to a wall, eliminating the need for uprights and bases, making it easier and
  faster to dene spaces and drape a room.
• Dolan Rod (Patent No. 12,234,846 – Issued 2/25/25) – Extending from the top of an 8-foot upright, the
  Dolan Rod is perfect for hanging banners or concealing back-to-back trade show booths for a
  polished presentation.

These new accessories build on the success of the CastleTop® system (Patent No. US 10,941,560 B2), which
replaced traditional punched slots on Pipe and Drape Uprights with a stronger, more reliable coupling
system. This advancement has improved setup efficiency, durability, and adaptability for event
professionals.

“CastleTop® has changed the way Pipe and Drape is used,” said Philip DiTrolio, Owner of Georgia Expo
Manufacturing. “These new accessories give our customers even more options to customize their setups
while saving time and effort.”

As the only U.S. manufacturer producing both Pipe and Drape hardware and drape in one facility, Georgia Expo remains committed to quality, functionality, and customer-focused solutions.
