Messe Frankfurt RUS and ASTI GROUP launched new cooperation within “Food technologies” portfolio.

2020 was a defining year for the whole event industry. According to experts, it will be hardly possible to achieve pre-crisis level before 2023. The pandemic forced most event organizers to review their business models and focus on new cooperation and development formats.

Sergei Gorsky, Deputy Managing Director of Messe Frankfurt RUS: “The partnership between Messe Frankfurt and local fair operators worldwide is a part of a strategy for developing several industrial areas, and food industry is one of them. I’m convinced, that joining our efforts and expertise will let our companies meet the targets set and widen the food technologies fairs portfolio both in Russia and abroad”.

Messe Frankfurt RUS presents “Food Technologies” fairs portfolio in Russia and CIS countries. It includes 6 trade shows on 4 continents: world’s leading trade fair for meat and alternative proteins IFFA in Germany, international food technology, additives and ingredients trade fair TecnoFidta in Argentina, trade fair for processing and packaging ProcessExpo in USA, MeatPro in Thailand and Modern Bakery as well as Salon Du Chocolate in Moscow.

ASTI GROUP has extensive expertise in events, organized around the concept “from feed to food” – trade fairs, conferences and competitions – and covering all aspects of local and international agro-industrial complex: from growing safe nutritious food technologies to new formats of presenting meat products to the clients. The company’s portfolio consists of 17 events, including many exclusive shows not only on domestic, but on international market as well. The ASTI GROUP team has a wide experience in organizing Russian pavilions on international trade fairs and economic forums, such as Eastern economic forum, Summit and economic forum “Russia - Africa”. Exhibitor’s profile of fairs and business forums, organized by ASTI GROUP, represents leading manufacturers, equipment suppliers and high-class specialists. “For some 20 years our events bring together industry professionals from all over the world and give them opportunity to find partners and clients. Our exhibitors take the whole preparation process very seriously, as meetings on our fairs are the right tool for promoting their products both on domestic and foreign markets, - says Narine Bagmanian, Managing director of ASTI GROUP”. In such difficult times, it’s even more important for the industry specialists to stay connected and communicate. I’m sure that our cooperation with Messe Frankfurt and joint events will help companies worldwide”.

Food industry remains one of the most important economic sectors with a strong focus on development. Modern food production is equipped with latest machines and process management systems. Thus, producers achieve better quality results and meet the highest sanitary standards. “Despite of current restrictions, caused by pandemic, business is highly interested in networking. We are convinced, that our partnership with ASTI GROUP will help promoting Russian companies on international market, while our worldwide subsidiaries network will attract new producers of equipment, technologies and products to Russia”, - stated Eugen Alles, Managing director of Messe Frankfurt RUS.

First important step of new cooperation with ASTI GROUP will be joint promotion of IFFA 2022 in Russia.
