Alimentaria Mexico
Taking place from May 26 to 28, Alimen-
taria Mexico became that country’s main
food and drink platform, attracting numer-
ous international operators to present
their products.
The show, which took place at the
Banamex Centre, brought together a large
range of exhibitors specialising in such
sectors as catering, food service, restau-
rants, distribution and retail. Moreover,
Alimentaria was jointly organised with the
Expo Tecno Aliments food technology
show, presenting solutions in the fields of
machinery, technology and innovation.
Some 70% of the products present at
the fair, organised by Alimentaria Exhibi-
tions, a subsidiary of Fira de Barcelona,
and the local company E. J. Krause, were
international, with 200 exhibiting compa-
nies from a score of countries, including
Argentina, China, Korea, Italy, Brazil,
USA, Portugal, Indonesia, Chile, Taiwan,
Greece, Peru, Poland, Turkey and Spain,
among others. Spain was also repre-
sented by many companies at the event,
mainly through ICEX.
An internationalisation plan was de-
veloped to reach buyers, distributors and
importers of food, drinks and solutions
for food and drink services in Mexico and
Central America, and exhibiting compa-
nies were offered the chance of taking
part in business meetings and in the
programme of guest buyers, an initiative
of particular interest due to the role that
Mexico plays as a gateway to the United
States.
Parallel to the commercial exhibition,
the show also included a full range of
activities related to the food and drink
sector.
