About the event
What is Gulfood Manufacturing?
Gulfood Manufacturing is the industrial side of the Gulfood brand. It covers the technology behind food and drink production: processing lines, packaging machinery, ingredients, automation and control systems, and supply chain services. Manufacturers, plant managers, engineers and procurement teams from the Middle East, Africa and Asia use the show to compare equipment, see machines running and meet suppliers. Conferences and product launches run alongside the exhibition.
The previous edition reported 61,907 industry professionals and more than 2,500 exhibitors from 79 countries across 21 halls. Much of what is on show is large, moving equipment that is hard to explain in a brochure, so exhibitors benefit from clear demo videos, detailed product photography and short clips that sales teams can reuse all year.
