Foodex Manufacturing Solutions returns this month to the NEC, Birmingham (24th – 26th April). Opening its doors for the first time in five years as part of the UK Food & Drink Shows, the flagship event for the processing, packaging and logistics industries will offer visitors an unrivalled opportunity to see the latest trends, products and challenges set to shape the industry in 2023 and beyond.
With the show fast approaching, we’ve rounded up our top 5 reasons to register and visit ahead of the show’s opening.
1. A Showcase of Innovation
A fourth industrial revolution, centred on technology, automation and sustainability has been on the manufacturing agenda for several years and a range of the products set to be on show are testament to this. Consider Tenero-F Gel by Devro Ltd, a 100% plant-based coextrusion gel for fresh sausages, which is being introduced to the market for the first time at the show. Find them on Stand N151. Meanwhile, Air Products Plc (Stand E79) will be showcasing their Freshline® Smart Technology which is set to revolutionise current cryogenic freezing processes. Over 70 products at Foodex have been stamped with the ‘Innovation’ seal of approval.
2. Big Name Exhibitors
With nearly 300 exhibitors expected on the show floor, there’s going to be a real wealth of products on display. Bosch Industrial Boilers (Stand E91), Chiorino UK Ltd (Stand C91), Detectamet Detectable Products (Stand L151), FPS Food Process Solutions Corp (Stand G78), Metcalfe Catering Equipment Ltd (Stand K61), Konica Minolta (Stand H29) and Pedrollo Distribution (Stand K21) are just a handful of the brands preparing to showcase their wares at the show in April.

4. Ingredients Zone
Foodex Manufacturing Solutions will also feature the Ingredients Zone in 2023, a highly-specialist sector dedicated to giving those brands a platform to showcase the most ground-breaking new ingredients on the market.

5. Food Manufacture Live Programme: The Race to Net-Zero
The Food & Drink Federation has set its members the ambition of being net-zero by 2040. Is this achievable and what is being done across the industry? This seminar discusses what priorities food and drink businesses should have and the impact rising inflation and the cost-of-living crisis could have on this target. 12:30pm – 1:15pm, Tuesday 25th April.
