Alimentec 2016: From 8 to 11 June 2016, the Colombian capital, Bogotá, will be the meeting point of the worldwide food industry in Latin America.
Food and drinks manufacturers as well as suppliers of horeca equipment and food service will present their new products and innovations to the Latin American trade audience at the international trade fair. The organisers Koelnmesse and Corferias are reporting a positive intermediate result: Currently eight percent more exhibition space has been booked compared to the same period of the previous event that took place in 2014.

The more than 200 exhibitors, who have registered so far, include renowned globally operating companies; further companies are exhibiting in a total of ten country pavilions. Groups from Argentina, Germany, France, Italy, Canada, Portugal, Spain, South Korea and the USA are represented. "Alimentec is the ideal business platform for entering the promising South American food market," said Denis Steker, Vice President International of Koelnmesse. "Colombia is taking on the position of a 'hidden champion' in this region. Koelnmesse and Corferias are offering interested companies particularly attractive starting conditions at Alimentec, such as for example favourably-priced stand packages with a basic modular stand or the opportunity of a company presentation in the scope of international pavilions."

Background

Koelnmesse is taking on the role as co-organiser for the first time at Alimentec 2016 and is responsible for the conceptual further development as well as for the further internationalisation of the trade fair under the slogan "powered by Anuga". In autumn 2014, in the scope of a partnership agreement with the Colombian trade fair organiser, Corferias, Koelnmesse agreed upon a cooperation for Alimentec, which is staged every two years. The trade fair for food, drinks, horeca supplies and food service is taking place for the ninth time in 2016 and has been an established trade fair format for the Colombian and South American food industry since 1999. The trade fair experienced a 57 percent growth in the number of exhibitors between 2004 and 2014; the number of visitors rose by 116 percent up to just under 29,000 in the same period.
