Food & Drinks Malaysia by SIAL will take place from July 4 to 6 at MITEC, Kuala Lumpur. Registrations are now open!

The event is poised to be the leading food and beverage exhibition in Malaysia and around the region. It provides a focused platform for the industry towards market entry to the gateway of Asia’s food Capital – Malaysia.

Food & Drinks Malaysia is a new launch by SIAL and will explore opportunities in the food and beverage sectors, seafood and fishery, halal foods and food and beverage technology. There will also be special features in spice and condiments as well as alternative proteins.

The trade platform offers a unique experience to meet, establish new business networks with related businesses and services and learn through customised knowledge-based sessions on topics relating to the industry.

Following the success of the global SIAL network series of exhibitions in Paris,  Shanghai, Jakarta, Montreal, and most recently in Las Vegas & Delhi, Comexposium  has selected the 2nd most developed and competitive economy in ASEAN due to its  geographical location, local and regional market potential, and its global reputation  for its diverse and multicultural culinary culture. 

Food & Drinks Malaysia by SIAL’s inaugural event in 2023 promises to deliver an exciting range of food and beverage companies who are keen to enter Malaysia’s robust food & beverage industry and subsequently across the region.

Asia Pacific CEO of Comexposium Elaine Chia comments: “Malaysia is renowned for being one of Southeast Asia’s foremost  gastronomic countries. It is a melting pot of culinary traditions built over centuries  of maritime trade between the far east and the western world, and continues to do  so till this day. Being the second most developed economy and the third largest in ASEAN,  Malaysia possesses a distinct market positioning that can’t be found anywhere else  in the world.”

So far, it is set to bring together at least 450 exhibitors and 15,000+ visitors from across 22+ countries.

The top three reasons to exhibit at Food & Drinks Malaysia:
