My SIGEP WORLD experience stands out from any other food and service trade show because of its incredible diversity—not just among vendors, but also among attendees. Everyone is open to sharing knowledge, global trends, and expertise, helping each of us grow as entrepreneurs, companies, buyers, and thought leaders shaping the future of the food service industry.

 

Steve Diasio - Affiliate Representative at Bloomin' Brands, USA

What I enjoyed most about SIGEP WORLD was discovering new product trends and meeting suppliers I hadn’t seen at other shows. The global representation is truly impressive, with products from all over the world—it’s something special.

 

Matthew Henninger - Senior Product Developer, Confectionery Ingredients at Clark Associates Clark Associates, USA

At SIGEP WORLD, I’ve really enjoyed meeting vendors with whom I could do business back in America. This experience will help me bring Italian-inspired trends to the U.S. and it has been extremely helpful, and I truly appreciate being a part of it.

 

Kathleen Kennedy - Director of Culinary Innovation for Marcos Franchising, USA

The most interesting part about SIGEP WORLD was that everything Italy has to offer is in one roof. You have amazing dedicated sections completely for pizzas, you have some chocolates, you also have a dedicated section for gelaterias and also the machinery part. So everything is under the same roof.

 

Darshak Solanki - Entrepreneur in the foodservice industry, India

What I liked most about the Bayer program by SIGEP WORLD is the ease and, above all, the efficiency it provides in scheduling meetings and appointments with potential suppliers, from organization to management. The support, the convenience of having a translator to make everything smoother and more efficient, ensures that meetings happen quickly and that you achieve what you came for.

What I enjoyed about the SIGEP WORLD experience was the presence of calm spaces amidst the vibrant chaos. There’s a great balance that allows you to focus while working intensively, making the most of the limited time available.

 

Gorm Wisweh - Entrepreneur, Denmark

What I appreciate about SIGEP WORLD is that the industrial products available here in Italy are of higher quality than those in the United States. It’s much easier for me to find ingredients here that can be commercialized at the scale we need compared to the U.S.

 

Ben Van Leeuwen - Co-founder and CEO of Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, USA 

The show does a great job organizing everything, ensuring we make valuable connections. It has been a fantastic hosting experience. This show is different from others because there is such a great range of truly high-quality manufacturers here.

 

Kealey Shyk - Senior Merchant at Clark Associates, USA

At SIGEP WORLD I like the fact that I can see different cultures, taste different food, and learn about their stories. It's more authentic and direct, allowing me to connect with suppliers I wouldn't normally meet in the United States. This is my first time in Italy so being able to experience a new culture was really eye opening for me.

 

Jena De Marzo - Food & Beverage Director, USA

I absolutely love SIGEP WORLD. It's a pleasure to be back here, discover new products, and see new machines for my company. What else can I say? I adore this event, and if you don't know SIGEP, you absolutely have to check it out!

 

Maria Aline Martins Ximenes, Founder at Maria Pitanga Açaiteria, Brazil

SIGEP WORLD was very well organized, with different categories such as coffee, gelato, baked goods, and pizza. So if I wanted to focus only on coffee, I could go directly to the dedicated sections.

 

Mallika Karkhanis, India

When you come to SIGEP there are many options, this is the holy grail of food and beverage conventions, because there's so much scope and range, you see and learn so much.

I must say it's a very well organized exhibition; the products which we are looking for in SIGEP. This morning I find out the perfect supplier.

The kind of equipment on display today is not something I usually see back in India, but it's very well designed to offer solutions that help me use it effectively for the products I want to sell.

I really liked the innovation in gluten-free and vegan products—food that doesn’t need an apology, it’s just good. Also, discovering new gelato technologies, textures, and smaller dessert formats was exciting. The hosted experience made everything easy, from booking meetings to finding suppliers.
