"The high interest from abroad proves that Anuga FoodTec is the leading international supplier platform of the food and beverage industry." In addition to the comprehensive product show, which encompasses large-surface live presentations, a wide-ranging congress and event programme also awaits the trade visitors again. The top theme of Anuga FoodTec 2018 is Resource Efficiency.
