Industry Relevance

Vitafoods Europe & Finished Products Expo currently ranks as a top tier event aimed at the dietary supplements and ingredients industry. The trade fair has always been about pioneering science and market trends as well as operating as the largest marketplace in the entire world. Vitafoods Europe is the annual meetup between manufacturers, buyers and experts in the field that’s been going on strong since 1997. Running at Fira de Barcelona Gran Via in Barcelona and formerly in PALEXPO in Geneva, Vitafoods Europe & Finished Products Expo presents you with the full value chain in four themed areas: ingredients and raw materials, branded finished products, contract manufacturing and private label, services, and equipment. 

The product portfolio is quite extensive as you get access to everything from chemicals, enzymes and food technology to algae, alkaloids, flavours and phyto-extracts. Nowhere else will get such an in-depth overview of the industry as a whole. Plus, Vitafoods Europe continues to evolve and now embraces the spirit of sustainability. The fair’s environmental impact has been severely reduced via the use of local suppliers, renewable energy, recycled materials and waste reduction initiatives. 

Who Are You Going to Meet?

As an exhibitor, the most important question is who are you going to be doing business with, and the answer is satisfying. Vitafoods Europe & Finished Products Expo draws in the attention from numerous industries such as dietary supplements, functional food and beverages, general food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and natural and herbal medicine. That’s sufficient variety to diversify your revenue streams with enough high-value contacts. 

The trade fair is only open to professionals, and they come from all links in the supply chain. There are manufacturers, purchasers, suppliers, distributors, importers and exporters, wholesalers, food experts, researchers, procurement specialists, retailers, and scientists.

As a taster, you’ll meet the next generation of food products with your taste buds. 

Exhibitors have many tools and resources at their disposal to reach their target audience.
