With just four weeks to go, foodpro 2023 is gearing up to be a truly massive event with the show floor now full. Around 380 exhibitors will showcase new innovative machines, technologies, products, solutions and processes in the food and beverage manufacturing industry.

foodpro product manager, Felicity Parker said, “We are thrilled to have filled all stands a month out - our exhibitors are ready and eager to discuss manufacturing needs with all visitors

“At previous shows, deals of all kinds and valuable connections have been made on the show floor, and with the event free to attend, and spread over four days, there’s no reason why businesses shouldn’t visit to see what our phenomenally innovative industry has to offer,” said Parker. 

Aside from making connections with exhibitors at stands, the foodpro Bar, sponsored by Mosca, will be another key networking hub of the 2023 event. With a full bar, this is the best spot to grab a coffee or lunch to catch up with colleagues, clients and new connections. There will also be a happy hour running on the Monday and Tuesday from the foodpro Networking Bar.

Exhibitors will showcase in the areas of: Processing and Packaging; Ingredients: Food Science and Technology; Plant Equipment; Packaging Materials; Logistics and Handling; IT and Digital Factories; and Government and Business Services

foodpro is on 23-26 July 2023, at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
