Strong international presence at Natural & Organic Products Europe 2012

LONDON -- As the UK’s only dedicated annual industry event, Natural & Organic Products Europe offers a unique proposition for international manufacturers and suppliers looking to strengthen and expand their trade presence in the UK’s and Europe’s growing natural and organic market, say organiser Diversified Business Communications UK.  This can only be good news for buyers attending in 2012.  For, with around a quarter of all exhibitors now based overseas, not only will visitors benefit from seeing hundreds of innovative UK brands but also some of the best, and most exclusive, natural and organic products the world has to offer.

“Over the past 16 years, Natural & Organic Products Europe has become recognised as the key platform for introducing new natural and organic products onto the European market,” says event director Simon Barry.

“For 2012, the show will host national pavilions from France, Italy, Latvia, Austria, Brazil and the USA, with many other countries participating at an individual level – including the Republic of Ireland, Australia, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, Cyprus, Denmark, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, India, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, South Africa, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, China, and the Republic of Korea.  So, whether buyers are coming from just a few miles away or flying in from across the globe, they’ll find plenty here that they simply won’t find at any other show,” says Mr Barry.

Countries increasing their presence for 2012 include Latvia, hosted by the Investment and Development Agency of Latvia, which has doubled the size of its pavilion, and France, which will now occupy two pavilions for the first time, with its beauty and food contingents now split between the dedicated Natural Beauty & Spa area and The Natural Food Show respectively. 

French natural beauty companies participating within the Natural Beauty & Spa show include organic essential oils producer De Saint-Hilaire; Famille Mary, creators of natural beauty products using honey and royal jelly; organic shea butter importers Karite Europe Africa; Ab Cosmetic, with its Marilou Bio cosmetics brand; Tech & Co; and natural Aleppo soap producers Terre d'Ecologis. 

Food and drink suppliers within The Natural Food Show’s French Pavilion include Choc' fleurs, creators of organic chocolate with flower petals and hemp seeds; jams, chutneys and preserves producer Naturgie; organic bakers Moulin Du Pivert; Tech & Co; organic cheese maker Fromagerie la Lémance; master chocolatiers Saveurs et Nature; confectionery manufacturers Europa Sweet; cold-pressed organic oil producer Jules Brochenin; organic olive oil supplier Mondolio; and Lactalis Nutrition Sante – a division of the Groupe Lactalis, the world leader in dairy products.
