Bakery&Pastry specialized exhibition at Food&Hotel Asia 2016, Singapore

 
Food&HotelAsia2016 (FHA2016) will bring more than 300 first-time exhibitors to the region’s most established and comprehensive food and hospitality trade show, including a host of new international group pavilion entrants and a dedicated exhibition to bakery and pastry.

The new exhibitors at FHA2016 will bring with them a range of new products and ingredients, equipment and supplies, and best-of-breed services. This results in a bigger and more diverse exhibition profile, offering more choices than ever before to industry buyers, and adds to FHA’s appeal as the tradeshow to see and be seen at.

“For the 2016 event, we are seeing many new local and international companies joining us for the very first time. This is a firm reflection of the importance the industry places in the event, and solidifies its position as the event of choice for food and hospitality players, mega and small, from across the region and beyond,” says Ting Siew Mui, Project Director of Lifestyle Events at Singapore Exhibition Services, organiser of FHA.
