The GulFood Manufacturing 2024 event was held at the Dubai World Trade Center, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), on November 5-7, 2024. Santos Premium Krimer had the opportunity to attend this event as an exhibitor.
GulFood Manufacturing is one of the largest food and beverage events in the world. This event is a global platform for the industry to learn and engage, and present their products, services and solutions that focus on advancing the food manufacturing industry towards a more sustainable, resilient, agile and efficient future.
GulFood was first held in 1987 at the Dubai World Trade Center with the aim of providing a platform for international food and beverage companies to connect, transact and grow their businesses. The history of GulFood began in the early 1980s when the Middle East region was rapidly developing into one of the important global markets in the international world. Seeing how much a platform was needed to bring together international food and beverage business players, the GulFood exhibition was finally held.
The first GulFood was attended by 300 companies from 20 countries and was held in an area of 10,000 square meters. In the following years, GulFood grew rapidly until in 2023, GulFood was attended by more than 5,500 participants and visitors from 190 countries in an area consisting of 24 halls. Carrying the theme “Real Food, Real Business”, GulFood 2024 was attended by global brands such as Agthia, Al Ain Dairy, Americana, Dilmah, Hype Beverages, Japan Farmed Fish Export Association, JBS, Lactalis, Meat & Poultry Ontario, Monin, Tilda, Wilmar and others. Thousands of new exporters and several new country pavilions became participants such as Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Venezuela.
As an effort to develop business and industrial connections in global trade, Santos Premium Creamer is also present as an exhibitor at GulFood Manufacturing 2024 which is located in Sheikh Maktoum Hall at booth M-G11. During the 3-day exhibition, visitors who attended could try samples of drinks using SPK creamer. In addition to introducing creamer for B2B needs, SPK also introduced B2C creamer products with the Elite Crème brand.
Visitors also get an explanation about the types of creamers made by SPK that can be applied to various needs. SPK creamers are made with spray-dryer technology that uses high-temperature air to ensure product safety and quality. Supported by pilot-plant research facilities and sophisticated laboratories, the process of innovation and continuous development is one of the commitments to produce products that always develop according to needs. The seamless packaging facility is always running to ensure that SPK creamer products are packaged properly and distributed safely.
As a conclusion to this article, we would like to thank visitors who have visited the SPK booth at GulFood Manufacturing 2024 and other parties who have helped us so that our exhibition runs smoothly. Hopefully the network that has been established can produce a positive contribution for all parties involved. See you at the next events!
