Anuga FoodTec is Koelnmesse's triennial supplier trade fair spanning the entire food and beverage production chain: processing technology, filling and packaging, food safety and analytics, intralogistics and digitalisation. The 2024 edition drew roughly 1,300 exhibitors and 38,400 visitors from 133 countries across 118,000 m2. The 2027 edition runs under the theme 'Navigate Complexity: Smart. Safe. Sustainable.'
For cold chain professionals the relevance is upstream and equipment-side: refrigeration and cooling technology, automated cold storage and retrieval systems, freezing lines and refrigerated intralogistics for perishable production are all on the floor. It is where machinery specifications, food-safety controls and supplier relationships for temperature-controlled food processing get set. It is a production-hardware fair rather than a distribution or logistics event.
The room is dominated by food and beverage manufacturers, engineering, production, packaging, food-safety and operations leads, alongside equipment, automation and packaging suppliers. Company types skew to processors, plant OEMs and technology vendors. Seniority ranges from technical specialists to plant and operations management.
