This is a heading in a press release. They are trying to say that it's better to participate in fairs and promotional activities under a single banner (i.e. in regional pavilions) and not on an individual basis. Possible translations are: "Under a single banner!", "Strength in numbers!", "A united front!" or "United we stand, divided we fall.", but they all sound a bit strange as a title. Any further suggestions?

Sorry, Lucia I should have re-read what you had written... I think your United we stand is find without the "divided we fall" part. If you like, you could even try "United we stand..."

this also helps avoid making it sound like something the Communist party might come up with :)
