Do you develop manufacturing processes and recipes for food and drink products?
Do you conduct experiments and produce sample products?
Do you specify the processes and machinery for making products with a consistent flavor, color and texture in large quantities?
And, do you need to accomplish it all within strict guidelines for safety and handling? |
This year, the Worldwide Food Expo will expand your understanding of food technology, manufacturing, packaging, safety and consumer trends. There are workshops and exhibitors (a whole pavilion, in fact) specifically focused on the issues that matter most to you.

Aisles and Aisles of Innovation
You'll be amazed by the breadth of manufacturers and service providers inside the exhibit hall.
There is no other event that covers the breadth of food processing from beginning to end — meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products and beverages, all under one roof. This is the only venue where you can test-drive both processing and packaging equipment from all of the major manufacturers, as well as smaller companies whose products you typically don’t have the opportunity to see face-to-face. Only at Expo will you find suppliers that touch every aspect of the process — from the largest machinery and equipment to flavorings, uniforms and cleaning products.
"It's important to my business that I attend the AMI to keep up with future trends of the upcoming equipment, the modernization of the industry. This event takes place every two years, and it has the latest and greatest innovations in the industry, and all in one place. "

"I wanted to check out the new packaging equipment, labeling equipment and check out competitors to see what’s new out there. I found a lot of new ... robotics. I’d like to be able to take some of this back to my plant and see what I can use there to get more automated. It's important to see the cutting edge technology that’s out there so that we can stay competitive in the business."
