Gulfood Manufacturing primed for success

OVER 1,000 international suppliers, 10,000 visitors and 1,500 delegates await the opening of Gulfood Manufacturing, now being called the biggest trade show in the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia (MEASA).

The event, guaranteed to be as successful as Gulfood, targets the manufacturing, processing, packaging and ingredients sectors. Niche shows, conferences and technical workshops during this three-day fair will enable manufacturers, buyers and industry watchers to peek into the latest industry insights, market trends, and state-of-the-art technology and product innovations. It runs from 9 to 11 November at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

 “The Middle East is rightly viewed as a key growth territory for the global food processing, packaging and manufacturing sectors,” said Trixie LohMirmand, senior vice-president, Events & Exhibitions Department, DWTC. “Gulfood Manufacturing will give international equipment, logistics and cold chain suppliers a tailored investment platform to gain an operational foothold in one of the world’s fastest growing markets.”

“Internationally, the sector is seeing multi-billion dollar investments and Gulfood Manufacturing will help facilitate and accelerate regional development. The fact the show is sold out five months ahead of its launch speaks volumes about how international suppliers, producers and manufacturers in various segmented industry sectors view the burgeoning regional market. We have listened to our customers and have committed to extending the debut show’s capacity,” she said.

The show will feature a world-class line-up of international brands including IFFCO, Cargill Europe BVBA, Markel Bakery Group, Multivac, tna Packing Solutions, Ishida Europe Ltd., D?hler Middle East and CSM Deutschland GmbH. The industry heavyweights will participate in themed sectors or within more than 24 national pavilions including Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Iran, Switzerland, Taiwan, China, Thailand, India, Italy, Austria, France, the USA, the UK and Germany.
