Speciality & Fine Food Fair Takes To Asia

The show will debut in Suntec, Singapore on July 18th until 20th 2017 and will bring its signature array of producers, up-and-coming trends and insightful talks and demonstrations. Just like the London edition, the Singapore Speciality & Fine Food Fair will also host the affiliated Speciality Chocolate Fair, which promotes the luxury and gourmet chocolate market.

After the success of the UK-based speciality fairs, food and hospitality expert Fresh Montgomery, which has ran the Speciality & Fine Food Fair for the last 17 years, will be working with its sister company, Montgomery Asia, to showcase the innovative, artisan food and drink producers from across the globe. This offers a spectacular opportunity for food and drink producers to reach new global markets and to discover inspiring trends.

The inaugural events in Singapore will mirror the dynamic UK concept, which draws in more than 850 exhibitors, and 12,000 trade attendees each year. There will be artisan exhibitors from a wealth of food and drink categories travelling from across the world and a host of top attractions including: Fine Food Live, a chef’s demo theatre; a Small Business Forum where experts can offer free one-to-one advice; a Start-up Village, a zone exclusively for 30 new artisan food producers.

Speciality & Fine Food Asia and Speciality Chocolate Asia was organised after receiving huge demand from exhibitors and buyers. The events will be held in Singapore’s Central Business District at Suntec, Singapore. The show is considered a must-visit for trade buyers from retail, food service, travel, import, wholesale and distribution from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei, Indonesia, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong and The Philippines.

Christopher McCuin, business development director of Fresh Montgomery and Montgomery Asia said, “We are delighted to finally announce the exciting launch of Speciality & Fine Food Asia and Speciality Chocolate Asia. This is an exciting new chapter for Fresh Montgomery and a much anticipated addition to the trade show calendar. The culmination of months of planning, the events have been designed to inspire food and beverage buyers from across South East Asia.

“These two new shows will bring the vibrancy, buzz and excitement buyers love about our much-heralded London event to Asia - creating a new centre for food innovation. These are exciting times, not just for Fresh Montgomery, but for the fine food industry as a whole. We can’t wait for the doors to open.”
