Description
Launched as a show dedicated to Kitchen Equipment for the Middle East commercial kitchen industry, the show has quickly gained recognition. Over the two editions there has been a demand for expansion to cover the burgeoning Hotel-supplies industry in the region. The first two editions covered all commercial kitchen essentials. From its third edition onwards it will also bring together catering supplies, hotel equipment and supplies, furnishings, tableware and accessories, catering equipment and services, Cutlery and crockery, F and b services and equipment, facilities management and technology solutions and much more along with kitchen equipments. The new additions will showcase leading hospitality solutions ensuring a one stop solution for all commercial kitchen needs and hospitality solution. It is planned to be the foremost business-to-business event for the Hotel, Restaurant and Catering industry in the region. Whilst the Hotel and Catering industry were already visitors looking to source commercial kitchen equipment, the show now becomes more meaningful for them as it will provide an A-Z sourcing opportunity for all their needs. Being a stand-alone Kitchen Equipment – HORECA show in the region, the event is tailor-made to suit kitchen equipment and HORECA manufacturers and suppliers in terms of open stand designs, technical requirements such as power, water and an effective ROI
