Process Expo 2017: fully booked and more internationalism among visitors

Process Expo 2017, which was recently held in Chicago/USA, clearly increased in internationalism. The trade show, which specialises in process engineering for food and beverages, is held by the Food Processing Suppliers’ Association (FPSA). It attracted nearly 14,000 visitors, with a 25 % higher share of international visitors than two years ago. The entire available exhibition space of around 20,400 m2 was occupied by over 500 exhibitors. The event was accompanied by a comprehensive support programme, including a Virtual Reality Showroom, a programme of talks on subjects such as food safety, hygienic design and industry regulations. The show also featured the exhibition of the Save Food initiative on the subject of food losses and waste throughout the trade fair.

While Process Expo 2017 was in progress, Messe Düsseldorf and the FPSA agreed to continue their formal alliance until 2023, so that the US trade fair company continues to be a member of the interpack alliance. Under this contract Messe Düsseldorf handles the acquisition of exhibitors and the promotion of trade fairs to visitors on all markets outside the United States, while the FPSA supports Messe Düsseldorf on the North American market. The next Process Expo will be held at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago from 8 to 11 October 2019.
