Three trade show leaders joined forces today to announce the launch of ProFood Tech, a new event that will focus on processing technologies serving the food and beverage industry. ProFood Tech will make its debut April 4-6, 2017, at McCormick Place, in Chicago, Ill.

The event is powered by three of the world’s trade show leaders—PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies; Koelnmesse; and the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA). PMMI is the owner and producer of the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows and represents North American manufacturers of equipment, components and materials for processing and packaging. Koelnmesse organizes world leading trade shows for the food and beverage industries as well as for the food and beverage processing industries, such as Anuga and Anuga Food Tec in Cologne, Germany. IDFA is North America’s largest dairy association, representing more than 85 percent of all North American manufacturing of dairy products.

“In assessing the current trade show landscape, we saw there was a need for a dedicated event that brings buyers together with leading worldwide manufacturers in the food and beverage industry,” says Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO, PMMI. “ProFood Tech provides a venue to share the latest innovations and crossover technologies from multiple vertical markets within the food and beverage industry and will be that one-stop shop featuring exhibits from both large companies that serve several customer segments and smaller niche companies with focus on more specific needs.”

Exponential changes in technology are making it hard for food and beverage companies to keep up. ProFood Tech will provide a wide perspective on the food and beverage processing industry as a whole and feature cutting-edge solutions to the challenges the industry is facing every day on the plant floor.

More than a trade show, ProFood Tech provides both large and small suppliers the opportunity to build their businesses by breaking into new food and beverage markets, cementing their status as industry leaders and reaching a large group of customers at one event.
