Host 2015 to cater to all hospitality industry sectors
The international hospitality exhibition (October 23-27, 2015 – Fieramilano) Host2015 is soon ready for its 39th edition dedicated to Ho.Re.Ca., food service, retail, large-scale distribution and hotel industries.
Milan is already the undisputed fashion and design capital of the world, but from 23 to 27 October 2015 it will also be the global hub for the professional hospitality industry. The show will spread over 12 halls, as the event aims to far exceed both exhibitor and trade visitor expectations.
Host2015 will showcase examples of the food revolution we have been experiencing in recent years, thanks to increasingly innovative technologies.
The macro-area comprising food service equipment and bread/pasta/pizza is traditionally the platform where global food-equipment manufacturers – and not only – give a preview of their new products. Technology, quality ingredients and the human factor will be coming together at the expo to map out the increasingly world-class and original future of cooking.
The macro-area for Food Service Equipment and Bread/Pasta/Pizza is one of Host2015’s three macro-areas: the other two are Coffee-Tea/Bar–Coffee machines/Vending, and Gelato-Pastry/Furniture and Tableware. Avant-garde technologies are a common factor not only to Food Service Equipment, which will be presenting systems, equipment and machines for processing and preserving food, as well as a whole range of accessories of various sizes, but also to Bread/Pasta/Pizza, where machinery and equipment will be joined by food, with quality ingredients and food traditions. Furthermore, this year, completing the offering of the macro-area, space will also be devoted to important fast-growing niches in the sector, such as Refrigeration and Laundry.
Sectors experiencing a 2-, 3- or even 4-figure boom include machinery for mills in Saudi Arabia (+156%), machinery and ovens for bread production in the U.S.A. (+70%), machinery for pasta workshops in Chile (+1,047%) and Brazil (+727%), machinery for pastries and confectionery, and for processing meat, in China (+149% and +142% respectively), and commercial refrigeration equipment in the Czech Republic (+143%).
Exhibitor highlights
In the Bread/Pasta/Pizza sector, leading oven manufacturers attending the show include Bake Off Italiana, Cuppone Fratelli, Debag, Italforni Pesaro, Jac, Marana Forni, Panem, Sorema, Wiesheu GmbH, Dr. Zanolli, and manufacturers of kneading machinery such as Imperia & Monferrina, Prismafood, SCB Bernardi, Starmix, VMI, A/S Wodschow & Co. Quality raw materials, which are experiencing a spiraling evolution, mid-way between health and tradition, will feature new entries like Molino Braga, Molino Iaquone, Molino Piantoni and Selezione Casillo, together with well-known names like Italmill, Molino Dallagiovanna and Molino Quaglia.
The show aims to provide a complete international overview of the sector, reflecting an exhibition concept that allows space for hybrids within the framework of new, multi-specialized formats, with an interesting calendar of events, organized with the support of the main trades associations and the most authoritative and interesting companies in the sector.
The partnership with Identità Golose is back again this year, with the Identità Golose Future project come three dates a day, presented by a chef and a food expert who, using new technologies and ingredients, will enable visitors to literally taste the cuisine of tomorrow.
Host 2015’s visibility will be further enhanced by the timing of the event – which will overlap with the Universal Exposition running from 1 May to 31 October and only a very short distance away. More than 20 million visitors will be arriving to Milan from all over the world to attend an event that will focus the attention of governments, institutions and consumers. The Expo 2015’s theme is “Feeding the planet, energy for life”, translating into topics pertaining to food, health, wellbeing, innovation and technology, with a view to securing a more sustainable future for the planet.
