What a treat: Foodtech Packtech in Auckland

XPO Exhibitions

Wednesday, 17 February, 2021

New Zealand’s largest food manufacturing, packaging and processing technology trade show will be back at the ASB Showgrounds in Auckland this year.

Event organisers XPO Exhibitions will host Foodtech Packtech, which normally takes place every two years, from 13–15 April.

Running for more than 20 years, this free-to-attend event brings industry professionals and decision-makers together providing a forum for education, discussion and the sharing of knowledge and expertise, critical in the sustainability and growth of the industry.

Visitors have the opportunity to come face to face with industry experts and key stakeholders to discover the freshest developments in the food and beverage manufacturing and packaging industries.

Running alongside the trade show will be the Materials Handling & Logistics (MHL) Expo — designed for the materials handling, warehousing and logistics industry. XPO Exhibitions said this year’s MHL Expo will be the biggest ever.

Foodtech Packtech will also feature a SMC Izakaya Networking Bar to facilitate connections among attendees.

Overall, the event is expected to attract more than 250 local and international exhibiting companies and some 4500 qualified visitors.

Special precautions will be in place at the event to ensure the health and safety of the visitors. This will include contact tracing via ticket registration or the government app, COVID-19 safety signage throughout the venue and an increased number of paramedic responders onsite. Face masks will also be made available on request.
