SNAXPO 2010, the worlds largest trade show devoted exclusively to international
snack foods, opened in Fort Worth, TX Thursday, March 4, where nearly 1500
industry professionals from some 35 countries gathered to explore key issues and
ideas, as well as opportunities to improve their businesses in the year ahead.
This is a tremendous turnout, especially considering the current economic
climate, said outgoing SFA Chairman Terry McDaniel, President & CEO of The
Inventure Group, Inc. It demonstrates the outstanding value that SFA provides
to its members.
More than 135 exhibitors displayed and demonstrated the latest products and
services available to the industry during a two-day trade show that featured
cutting edge equipment and technology, ingredients, seasonings, packaging, and
new product opportunities that respond to todays snack consumers.
In addition, the trade show featured an exciting new product tasting area where
dozens of new snack products that responded to todays growing consumer interest
in healthier-for-you foods and those with full flavor and spicy profiles were
sampled by SNAXPO attendees.
This is a tremendous show, said SFA President & CEO Jim McCarthy as he walked
the trade show floor, mindful of the busy booth traffic being experienced by
exhibitors. This is an outstanding opportunity for both exhibitors and
attendees alike, and clearly they are taking advantage of it.
