The Anuga FoodTec (official subtitle International supplier fair for the food and drink industry) is the world’s leading trade fair for food processing, food packaging and food safety. It takes place in Cologne - Germany every three years. The organizer is Cologne Trade Fair (koelnmesse). The non-material sponsor is German Agricultural Society (Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft e.V. DLG).
History
Originating from the former Anuga-Technica and the DLG-FoodTec fairs, Anuga FoodTec has been providing a comprehensive process-oriented overview of all the technologies required for food production, from processing and packaging to distribution, since 1996. Its independence from specific industries, raw materials, and sub-processes has made the trade fair to one of the leading information and procurement platforms in the global food industry.
In 2012, 42,986 visitors (from 126 countries) came to Anuga FoodTec and could obtain information from 1,289 exhibitors (from 41 countries) on a total surface area of 127,000 square meters. The trade fair also saw a positive development in 2012 in the number of exhibitors (10%) and visitors (27%).
In 2015, the trade fair achieved a new exhibitor and visitor record. Up 14 percent from the previous fair, 1,496 exhibitors (from 49 countries) exhibited on a total surface area of 129,700 sqm. With regard to trade visitors, 45,604 experts (from 139 countries) represented an increase of 6 percent. International visitors accounted for more than 50 percent of the total.
In 2011 [1] Anuga FoodTec formed a strategic partnership with PMMI, the organizer of Pack Expo and Expo Pack which was renewed in 2015.[2]
