Foodex: the best of Japanese gastronomy at SIRHA Lyon 2021

From September 23 to 27, the Foodex team was present at SIRHA Lyon 2021: the world reference event for Food Service and hospitality. It gathers all the actors of this environment from all over the world. (Nearly 3,000 exhibitors and 200,000 visitors at each show!)

Foodex was attending the event as a Japanese food wholesaler to highlight the cuisine of the Land of the Rising Sun and to meet partners, customers and prospects.

A look back at the best moments of this event!

Meetings and exchanges with the actors of the food sector

These 5 days were the opportunity for our teams to discuss with you, actors of the world of the food industry. It was a pleasure to meet you: customers, suppliers, journalists, partners, students in the food service or simply curious. Thank you very much for your visit and our exciting discussions!

Responsible choices: recyclable booth and food donation

In a context where the majority of companies still use single-use booth: destroyed and thrown away after the event, Foodex has chosen a reusable stand, which can be dismantled and reassembled for our future events.

At the end of the show, we also took part in the beautiful SIRHA Collect project, i.e. the donation of food products to two associations: Le Chainon Manquant and La Banque Alimentaire, to limit the food waste generated by this type of trade show.
