The European Seafood Exposition is the world's largest seafood fair. Attracting buyers and sellers from over 140 countries around the world and featuring the stands of over 1600 exhibitors, the European Seafood Exposition is the global can't-miss fair for the seafood industry.
This year was no different, a time to reacquaint with current customers, get to meet old friends and make new ones.
The halls are packed with importers, exporters, and wholesalers; institutional, military, and chain buyers; value-added processors; and more. They crowd the halls with shopping lists in hand, eager to source, compare, and purchase seafood product and equipment. Perfect for Foster Packaging where over the years we have specialised in getting the right product to the processor, wherever they are in the world, so that they can deliver the constant and consistent quality demanded in this industry. Another very good eye to eye marketing exercise that yielded many leads and contacts.

For the last 6 years Foster Packaging has exhibited at the European Sea Food Exposition with great success.

Expo Centre, NASREC, Gauteng
Propak Africa, the definitive Packaging and Food Processing exhibition, provides an exciting forum for trading, sourcing of products and education – giving buyers leading-edge information on global trends, advancements in technology, product development and market updates.
The exhibition also provides an ideal platform for local and international exhibitors to network and exchange ideas.

The response was excellent! Foster Packaging was able to display worldwide trends in packaging to a wide range of prospective and current customers. Although the basic function of packaging is to preserve and protect the pack contents, packaging - particularly in the retail market - has become a fascinating marketing tool that is used to promote and sell products, moving them from shelf-to-trolley. |

Innovative packaging design keeps products one-step ahead by creating a practical protective pack with a visual identity that communicates the right message to its consumer.
Using inspiring creative design, and showing the latest in current and future technology it was possible to give visitors to the show something to think about before they proceed on their packaging needs.
