Food Show Plus!
Exhibitions as the meeting point for the food, pet food, and feed industry are essential in the development of global trade relations. Food Export supports American suppliers with their presence at European trade shows such as SIAL, ANUGA, Interzoo, Food Ingredients Europe, Biofach, ISM, or Seafood Expo Global.
When visiting a show in the EU make sure to connect with the program and the local in-market representatives to learn about the U.S. companies exhibiting. Food Export provides you with a detailed overview of the suppliers and assists in making first contact or scheduling a meeting on-site.
