Events

Anuga FoodTec is sending a strong signal to the international food and beverage industries: two thirds of the exhibition area for 2027 have already been allotted. Never before have we received so many area reservations so long before the start of the event. The booking status marks a peak and underlines the great industry confidence in the leading international trade fair.

Early confirmations, strong returnee rate

Around 75 percent of applications up to now involve companies that already exhibited in 2024. According to the status today, a total of more than two thirds of the exhibition area for 2027 has been allotted. This extraordinarily early and broad commitment sends a clear signal of quality to the market and improves planning security for all participants.

International key players, new participants and returnees

The circle of exhibitors to date includes, among others, Handtmann, Vemag, JBT, Marel, Fortifi, Seydelmann, GEA, Krones, Alpma, ProXES, Florin, Ulma, Aetna, Duravant, Multivac, Weber, Siemens, G. Mondini, IMA, ifm Beckhoff, Stäubli, Schneider Electric, CSB-System, Regal Rexnord, Forbo Siegling, Westfalia, Movexx and Aicon XRay. New are, among others, manufacturers like Epson, Sticomax, Schindler & Wagner, BEMA, Borncut and Gulftech. Returning are, among others, Ecolean, Bizerba, Ecolab, PDT Group, Air Liquide and Grote.

We are very pleased at the strong interest and the broad and extraordinarily early commitment of the exhibitors. In connection with the high returnee rate, especially on the part of the global key players, this impressively underlines the innovation power of the industry and the importance of Anuga FoodTec as a leading international trade fair.

Roland Thiemann, Director of Anuga FoodTec.

Outlook

The booking rate speaks for the high relevance of the trade fair in the industry and guarantees a strong and, above all, international field of exhibitors for the event. Leading providers along the entire process chain are represented, while new participants expand the portfolio. Trade visitors can look forward to a diverse and technology-driven trade programme, powered by the DLG, with innovative knowledge and participation formats that convey important impulses for a dialogue across industries. The focus is thereby particularly on the key theme of "Navigate Complexity".

Companies that are planning their presence at Anuga FoodTec 2027 still have the possibility to apply and can secure attractive placement options in the hall layout when they decide early.

Anuga FoodTec 2027 takes place from 23 to 26 February 2027 in Cologne.
