With our theme revolving around sustainability, we look forward to bringing together industry leaders and innovators to exchange ideas, forge new connections, and drive the industry towards a more sustainable future,” said Mr Gerard Leeuwenburgh, Country General Manager of Informa Markets in Malaysia.
This year, Informa Markets is also pleased to announce that HOTELEX Malaysia will be running concurrently with FHM 2023 for the first time, bringing together two superior tradeshows leading the food and hospitality industry under one roof.
“As the leading exhibition for the Chinese industry, HOTELEX connects Chinese and international catering and hospitality suppliers with F&B and HoReCa buyers worldwide. Our partnership with FHM is a perfect match, and it will be a grand collaboration that benefits all industry players. With a large-scale combined event under one roof, we can offer a more comprehensive range of exhibitor profiles to meet the needs of professional buyers from around the world,” said Helen Fan, Executive Deputy General Manager of HOTELEX.
With a wide array of exhibitors across 16 profiles that include all types of kitchen and hotel supplies, HOTELEX will enable domestic and international buyers to connect with suppliers throughout the industry, making it a one-stop shop for all their needs.
Featuring the event theme of “Bringing Sustainability to the Table”, FHM 2023 is proud to take this opportunity to spearhead greater sustainability within the F&B and HoReCa sector and help businesses navigate an evolving market landscape where sustainability is becoming a key priority.
In conjunction with the sustainability theme, FHM 2023 will introduce a new Plant-Based Terrace featuring a new profile of exhibitors offering plant-based proteins and meat alternatives. With sustainability playing an increasingly important role in the hospitality sector, the event will also present a selection of sustainable soft furnishings and hospitality-related furniture.
FHM 2023 will feature numerous other highlights that reflect ongoing industry trends, with spotlights cast on industry 4.0 advancements, sustainable packaging, nutritional food as well as the aforementioned plant-based food.
The food and hospitality industry will be pleased to know that exhibiting space is still available for FHM 2023. Interested parties are invited to email info@foodandhotel.com to enquire about exhibiting or visit www.foodandhotel.com for more information.
