CIBUS TEC 2016:
‘‘MEATING’’ POINTS
IN PARMA NEXT OCTOBER, THE COMPLETE
SHOWCASE OF TECHNOLOGIES AND SOLUTIONS
FOR FOOD PROCESSING AND PACKAGING.
Parma (Italy) – 25-28 October
Meat technologies and packaging take off
(30% more participants) - Reconfirmed the
presences of the previous edition - Bolstered
by the alliance between Fiere di Parma and
Koelnmesse, Cibus Tec becomes a nerve
centre of global business
That the food processing & packaging
industry identifies with business community
headed by Cibus Tec (scheduled from
October 25 at the Fiere di Parma) is above
all demonstrated in the figures registered 4
months on from the launch of the event: 90%
of exhibitors from the previous edition have
in fact reconfirmed their presence, to which
must be added the 200 new companies
and a significant expansion of the meat
technologies areas and packaging (+30%).
Also worthy of note the consolidation of
the traditional sectors (dairy, fruit and
vegetables technology) and the launch of
new exhibition areas dedicated to solutions
for bakery products, ice cream, pastries,
coffee and ingredients.
Overall, Cibus Tec can therefore rely on the
force of attraction of 10 exhibition areas and
the most sophisticated technologies, but this
year it will also have the leverage of the
the longterm strategic industrial alliances
drawn up between the Fiera di Parma and
Koelnmess, whose joint mission is very clear:
bring to Parma during Cibus Tec and satellite
fairs Anuga FoodTec - from Brazil to India,
from the United States to Colombia - the
leading Italian, European and American
food processing and packaging concerns,
thus creating a unique platform for the
world panorama.
The European and US Pavilions, two projects
drawn up by the German partner, which
will bring European and US companies
active in many sectors of food technology
to Parma, are enjoying great success. A
choice this that, as Thomas Rosolia, CEO
of Koelnmesse Italy states «not only fits
into the plan of joint development between
Italy and Germany, but also confirms Cibus
Tec as a benchmark event at international
level».
The strong link between Cibus Tec and the
market is also highlighted by the full schedule
of workshops, educationals, business matching
meetings and a promotional road show,
which, after 19 stages in 2015, will touch
as many as four continents in 2016 with 14
additional engagements. And, yet again,
special projects like Cibus Tec Industry that,
in its fourth year, will bring to Parma four
fully operational end-to-end production and
packaging lines dedicated to products with
a high service component.
And while the new format has already led
to the expansion of the exhibition area
with the opening of a new hall (Hall 2) the
requests for information from national and
international food industries have tripled, the
list of Chief Technology Officers of important
global food companies, that have already
confirmed their presence in Parma grows
ever longer.
«We are investing more than 1.5 million
Euros – says Fabio Bettio, Brand Manager
of Cibus Tec – in incoming activities, covering
the areas of North and South America,
ASEAN, Eastern Europe, certain that our
event will offer our exhibitors a showcase
worthy of their position as international
leaders».
