The Asia Pacific’s iconic food manufacturing event, foodpro, is coming to Melbourne for the first time in June, with organisers keen to propel the national food processing industry forward.

The event, which only comes around once in every three years, will showcase technology and innovation from around the world.

Every aspect of the food and beverage processing industry will be on show, with more than 300 suppliers representing hundreds of manufacturers from around the world, including those affiliated with processing technology, plant equipment, ingredients, additives and testing equipment.

As one of the longest running trade shows in Australia, foodpro has established a reputation for bringing the entire industry together to turn good businesses into great bususinesses.

In 2014, more than 8500 visitors are expected to attend the event, which will run from June 22 to 25, at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
