Another Successful SIAL Paris! – Western Grocer

As publisher and editor of Western Grocer magazine, I attended SIAL Paris this past week and was incredibly impressed with the extent and variety of exhibitions and information presented.

For over 50 years, SIAL Paris has been welcoming a melting pot of industry players to the French capital to share their savoir-faire and create the recipes of the future.

The first edition was held during International Food Week in 1964, and united experts and enthusiasts from 26 countries. Today, the biennial attracts exhibitors and visitors from over 200 countries and is a flagship event in the worldwide food calendar.

Every two years, producers, importers, buyers and retailers, media specialists and independent associations of every shape and size meet at the largest exhibition venue in Paris for five-days of inspiration, debate and exchange. Whether you’re a rising startup or a large group, a hot new product or a blue-chip brand, an established chain or a groundbreaking retail model, SIAL Paris is your springboard for sustainable success.
