As 2025 draws to a close, Neofoods looks back on a year defined by global outreach, meaningful partnerships, and forward-looking industry dialogue. Throughout the year, our team embarked on a strategic journey across four continents, participating in five pivotal trade fairs that shape the future of food and ingredients. These engagements underscore our commitment not only to supplying high-quality ingredients but also to being an active, listening, and collaborative partner within the international food community.
Our 2025 journey was a testament to our global vision:
• March | Moscow, Russia: We began the year at the Global Ingredients Show (GIS), immersing ourselves in the dynamic and evolving landscape of the market. This was a valuable opportunity to understand regional sourcing trends and strengthen ties with our partners in Eastern Europe.
• June | Shanghai, China: At Food Ingredients Asia (FIA), we witnessed firsthand the incredible pace of innovation and the growing demand for specialized, health-oriented solutions in the world's most populous market. The energy and creativity on display were truly inspiring.
• August | São Paulo, Brazil: Fi South America provided deep insights into the vibrant Latin American food sector. From local flavor preferences to sustainable sourcing practices, our conversations enriched our perspective on this key growth region.
• September | Dubai, UAE: ISM Middle East offered a window into the fast-growing food and confectionery markets bridging East and West. The focus on premiumization and cross-cultural tastes in Dubai reaffirmed the importance of tailored ingredient solutions.
• October | Cologne, Germany: We culminated our year at Anuga, the world's leading food trade fair. Engaging with the global industry's forefront—from groundbreaking startups to established multinationals—solidified our understanding of worldwide trends and reaffirmed our role in the international supply chain.
Beyond the exhibition halls, these events were about the people who give our industry its vitality. We reconnected with longstanding clients, met potential new partners, and engaged in countless conversations that moved beyond transactions to shared challenges and opportunities. Each handshake and discussion deepened our understanding of local nuances—from regulatory landscapes and taste profiles to unique supply chain considerations.
We are profoundly grateful to every customer, partner, and industry colleague who took the time to meet with us. Your trust, insights, and collaboration are what make these journeys worthwhile and purpose-driven.
As we turn the page to 2026, we carry these connections and learnings forward. They directly inform our strategy, our product development, and our dedication to providing even more responsive and innovative support. Neofoods remains committed to being your reliable global partner, fueled by a year of listening, learning, and connecting.
Here's to building new bridges and creating future successes together. We look forward to meeting you, somewhere in the world, in the coming year.
