The European Seafood Exposition and Seafood Processing Europe is the world’s largest seafood trade fair and features companies who are seeking access to the strong European seafood consuming market. The exposition features more than 1,600 exhibiting suppliers from over 70 countries with a wide variety of offerings: fresh and frozen fish and seafood; processed and packaged fish and seafood; processing and packaging equipment; freight forwarders and logistics services; and seafood-industry services.
“Every year, the exposition is highly anticipated by suppliers and buyers who are counting on this three-day event to conduct business, network and develop relationships with key players in the industry, source fish and seafood products from around the world, and have the opportunity to share industry ideas with the international seafood community,” said Liz Plizga, Show Director for Diversified Business Communications.
Figures based on a 2012 visitor survey show that 83 per cent of the visitors have purchasing authority, 71 per cent of the visitors intend to purchase as a result of attending the exposition and 82 per cent of those surveyed found new companies or products.
