Global suppliers and industry leaders are set to gather at Challenger 1, IMPACT, Bangkok from 12-14 March for the second edition of Meat Pro Asia, Asia’s premier processing and packaging trade fair for egg, poultry, meat, seafood, and food products.
The event will see 121 exhibitors presenting innovations in processing, packaging, automation, cold chain logistics, IoT, quality control, hygiene, and more. In addition to the diverse array of exhibits, the conference program will see over 50 speakers discuss the latest trends and technologies in the industry, such as food safety, efficient processing methods, and sustainability, over two full days.
Jack Wong, deputy general manager, Messe Frankfurt, commented: “I am excited to welcome industry leading exhibitors to Bangkok this week for Meat Pro Asia, as they showcase cutting-edge technologies from their respective countries and fields. Additionally, the two-day fringe program provides a unique platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and business growth. With its strong connections to Messe Frankfurt’s global network of events for meat processing technology, Meat Pro Asia has become a key event on the calendar for Asia. Through special events and the participation of global brands, the fair aims to elevate its impact in driving innovation and growth in the region’s food industry.”
“The show’s synergy and co-location with VIV Asia and Horti Agri Next Asia, sees all three events combine to host over 1,500 exhibitors – 93 percent of which are from outside Thailand. This creates a unique opportunity for international collaboration across the entire supply chain. Meat Pro Asia 2025 is strengthening the on-site attractions with high quality exhibitors and an engaging conference programme. Additionally, we are implementing initiatives in order to reduce the fair’s carbon footprint, such as using soy-based ink for printed materials while reducing their quantity, deploying EV tractors in partnership with DB Schenker, and utilising digital applications,” added Ms Panadda Kongma, Vice President – Business, VNU Exhibitions Asia Pacific Co Ltd.
Among the exhibitors from Thailand and abroad are Baader, Duravant, Hi-tec, IFEC, Ishida, Jarvis, Marel, Meyn, Multivac, Vega, and many others, all displaying the latest innovations in the meat packaging and processing sectors. The industry leading brands will present technologies such as data analytics and IoT applications, supply chain automation, sustainable packaging solutions, and more.
In addition to these key brands, the conference programme will feature over 20 sessions, with discussions led by international speakers on global topics, complemented by insights from local experts addressing trends within Southeast Asia.
