One of the most important exhibitions for us as we get to meet our customers based in the GCC and network with potential customers. This year has been successful, had the opportunity to meet with more professionals within the industry and have been able to form meaningful connections.

Ben Marwen, Vice Exporting Director -
Big Brands Group
We debuted at Gulfood in 2019 with only three customers in the UAE. We’re back in 2020 with over 300 customers across all seven Emirates. While we are very aggressive in terms of driving sales locally, our 2019 Gulfood Innovation Award win certainly had a big positive impact on our growth.

Ihab Leheta, Director International Sales -
Beyond Meat
We have been exhibitors at Gulfood for 10 years and will continue to return, as this exhibition allows us to network with customers within the GCC and expand our opportunities in new markets. This year, in keeping with the theme of ‘Rethinking Food’, we have introduced a live cooking station at our stand.

Mohamad Hajj Ali, General Manager -
Transmed
We constantly look to enhance our consumer’s experience and this year we are launching new products based on research that we’ve conducted on our consumer’s eating habits. Gulfood is an important platform as it not only helps us meet with our clientele, but it also helps us gauge the upcoming trends in the industry.
