87%of exhibitors ratedthe show as goodto excellent

Not only were a number of significant orders signed, but we had an overwhelming level of interest from new markets – in particular this year from Pakistan. This show is not about coming to look, visitors here come to buy. We’re already planning a bigger presence for next year. For GEA this show is essential.

With the number of customers we engage with and the equipment and technology that we have already sold - more than half our entire stock on the stand, with a value of more than AED2.5million - this show is a must attend for us.

VISITOR PROFILE

Dr. Fadi KabatiloDeputy General Manager, Jordan

We work in the spices, herbs and nuts business. We came here looking for three specific machines for our business and we found them. It would have taken us months to find the right equipment - and lots of traveling - in 3 days we found what we needed - and at the right price.

Najib El-BerbariGeneral Manager, El B Group, Lebanon

We are a start-up business looking to set up a plant in Lebanon. Gulfood Manufacturing was very informative and seeing all the innovative products from so many different suppliers made me re-think my business plan. We are expecting to close deals with a couple of suppliers in the next month.

Hussein Khatoun Managing Director, Basel, Angola

We came to find machinery for juice filling and processing and I found the exact machinery, customized for my plant. So much innovative equipment and new solutions for my business. I am taking home what I came for!

Processed meat industry shrugs off concern over healtheffectsCompanies involved in the processed meat industry are adamant that demand will not drop despite a recent

report from the World Health Organisation (WHO) that says processed meats are linked to cancer. Tim Ansell,

sales director at Dubai’s Al Thika Packaging, which supplies machines that package processed meat, does not

expect consumers to stop buying processed meat. “I don’t think people are going to change the things they eat

based on one report. Maybe we have to eat leaner meat and be careful that it’s not overprocessed, but actually

stop eating processed meat? I doubt it,” he said at Gulfood Manufacturing 2015 in Dubai, which kicked off on

Tuesday. Meat processing machines on display at GEA exhibit on the first day of Gulfood at Dubai World Trade
