SIAL PARIS 2022 AN EDITION ABOUT RENEWAL

15–19 OCTOBER 2022

PARIS

Coming to Paris Nord Villepinte from October 15th to 19th, SIAL Paris kicks off this new edition on a theme of renewal and change, boarding a new Director as well as a new partner to join the SIAL Insights team of experts. The SIAL network also celebrates the new certification of 7 trade fairs around the world.

Audrey Ashworth appointed Director of SIAL Paris Audrey Ashworth became Director of Sial Paris on January 1st of this year. She takes over from Adeline

Vancauwelaert under the leadership of NicolasTrentesaux. Trade fairs have been an important part of her career, and she is quite familiar with their specific challenges, having developed her expertise over 14 years. At Comexposium, she worked as Head of the SIAL sales network from 2018 to 2021 before becoming EMEA Sales Director of the Group, establishing the fundamentals of the new sales organization.

What does SIAL 2022 symbolize for you?

A much-awaited renewal. We are motivated and delighted to welcome the food industry community back to this event which is devoted to it. And, of course, to reveal to our clients everything that we have been preparing since we were put on standby nearly two years ago because of the pandemic.

Since the autumn, the Comexposium Group – which includes SIAL Paris – has coordinated some hundred events to the great satisfaction of our visitors and exhibitors. Among the lessons that we learned during the interim were the increased use of digital tools (84% of visitors and exhibitors used new digital tools) and a renewed attraction to real-life gatherings.

In the context of the crisis and in this very competitive world, communication has become more essential than ever in reassuring clients and fostering business. A trade fair is not just any form of media. It gives exhibitors an opportunity to promote their products and services, to engage in face-to- face discussions with their customers and get immediate feedback, to learn from their peers, and to understand the competition and innovation within the ecosystem.

I am truly optimistic: I have no doubt that every difficulty in life brings along new opportunities... So be ready to seize them at SIAL Paris 2022!

MARCA BY BOLOGNAFIERE RETURNS FROM WHERE IT LEFT OFF BEFORE THE PANDEMIC

18-19 JANUARY 2023

BOLOGNA

12,000 Visitors and 900 Exhibitors Underline The Success Of The Only Italian Fair Event For Commercial Brands

Marca by BolognaFiere picks up where it had left off in January 2020 prior to the pandemic with renewed enthusiasm after two painful years. The eighteenth edition, held in mid-April at the Bologna Exhibition Centre, concluded with a total of 12,000 visitors. This number, together with the 900 exhibitors in 23,000 square meters of exhibition space, underline the success of Italy’s only trade fair dedicated to commercial brands, a showcase of “made in Italy” excellence where the Grocery Retail sector can take advantage of more than a thousand square metres for its own retail groups. Businesses and professionals returned to meet again in person and close deals at the five exhibition halls at the event organized by BolognaFiere in collaboration with ADM, the Italian Grocery Retail Association.

Business people, Grocery Retail groups and buyers have already noted the dates of the next edition, number 19, which will return to its customary position in the calendar on 18 and 19 January 2023.

“Marca by BolognaFiere has been a success beyond expectations,” announced Antonio Bruzzone, General Manager of BolognaFiere, “We have recommenced with the same numbers we had in 2020, when the world came to a standstill due to the pandemic. This is the only event in Italy capable of interpreting the potential and evolution of the Private Label sector, which every year finds in BolognaFiere the most authoritative forum at which to make deals and foster the growth and internationalization of small and mediumsized enterprises, thanks to the relationship with Grocery Retail groups. We would like to thank the retail groups, exhibitors, professionals and buyers, our institutional partners, first and foremost ITA - the Italian Trade Agency, and above all ADM, the Italian Grocery Retail Association that has always believed in this event and continues to help it grow with us. I look forward to seeing you again in January 2023.”

“We are extremely satisfied with the success of Marca by BolognaFiere. Today’s consumers are choosing private labels with increasing conviction,” explained Carlo Alberto Buttarelli, Managing Director of ADM, “motivated by the values that the brands represent: quality and reasonable prices, but also the sustainability and innovation that Private Labels are developing with industry partners. The supply chain pact,” continued Buttarelli, “becomes a reality with Private Labels, where the integration between production, distribution and consumers reaches its maximum expression.” Numerous attendees took part in the in-depth discussions organized by ADM with The European House- Ambrosetti, Ipsos, IRi and IPLC, which exclusively for Marca by BolognaFiere provided data on market trends in the Private Label sector in Italy and Europe. There was also notable success for the two areas Marca Fresh, dedicated to fresh products, and Marca Tech, where companies exhibited their packaging innovations. While the exhibition numbers remained substantially unchanged compared to pre-pandemic levels, the Marca Fresh area doubled its exhibition space, confirming the growing interest of companies and retail groups in fresh products, which are finding more and more space in Grocery Retail. During the event, innovative packaging solutions were presented that are increasingly oriented towards environmental sustainability with an eye to saving energy and reducing logistics costs.
