Three trade show leaders have joined forces to announce the launch of ProFood Tech, a new event that will focus on processing technologies serving the food and beverage industry. ProFood Tech will make its debut April 4-6, 2017, at McCormick Place, in Chicago, Ill.
“In assessing the current trade show landscape, we saw there was a need for a dedicated event that brings buyers together with leading world-wide manufacturers in the food and beverage industry,” says Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO, PMMI. “ProFood Tech provides a venue to share the latest innovations and crossover technologies from multiple vertical markets within the food and beverage industry and will be that one-stop-shop featuring exhibits from both large companies that serve several customer segments and smaller niche companies with focus on more specific needs.”
More than a trade show, ProFood Tech provides both large and small suppliers the opportunity to build their businesses by breaking into new food and beverage markets, cementing their status as industry leaders and reaching a large group of customers at one event. “In a close dialogue with leading technology suppliers from around the globe, we aim to create a market platform in the United States that is tailored to the requirements of domestic and foreign exhibitors and visitors,” explains Gerald Böse, president and CEO of Koelnmesse.
With an expansive show floor and enhanced educational programming led by IDFA, ProFood Tech will attract high-level buyers from every food and beverage sector.
“The opportunities for new ideas and break-through solutions are amazing when executives from related businesses come together to discuss, review and experience the innovations, products and services available today, ” said Connie Tipton, president and CEO of IDFA.
The event is powered by three of the world’s trade show leaders – PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies; Koelnmesse and the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA).
