WHAT OUR IMPORTANT VISITORS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT FHW. Thanks a lot for the hospitality shown. I had a good time in the show and made some useful contacts as well. This has been a fruitful visit. Abhilash, Category Manager, Godrej Natures Basket This was surely one of the best shows that I ve been to in this city. The Italian pavillion had an amazing array of producers namely the coffee bean producers, the gluten free flour supplier, the coffee machine manufacturer and a lot more Moshe Shek, Owner, Café Moshe. It was a pleasure for me as well to have come to the very well-organised tradeshow. It was a great experience to have attended and met the wine producers from South Africa and Italy. It was also an opportunity for me to witness companies that manufacture products related to our industry. Shweta Hegde, Marketing Manager, FineWinesnMore. Thanks for the courtesy shown during my visit to the show. The show was very good and I could feel that FHW had some very good exhibitor in the Show. My visit was short but I liked the show. Sanjey Bajoria, Director, Bajoria Foods I enjoyed visiting it and met the foreign suppliers. You assembled some good participants and put in lots of hard work. Anil Chandok, Director, Chenab Impex. These trade exhibitions are a great way to know what new products are entering the Indian market. As a new hotel in India, we are looking forward to exploring everything. We are happy to know more international food products and wines are entering India; this will help us keeping up with our hotel standards as well. Anthony Bureto, Materials Manager, Shangri-La Hotel, Mumbai. We are very thankful to Fiera Milano team who was very helpful from the time of pre-registration to entering the venue. The team also arranged our meeting with Ms.Claudia, who took us to various counters for Food and Wine, in which we are more interested to import into the Indian market. The arrangement of the show, the placement of the stalls and the general arrangement were really good and not seen in other shows like Upper Crust etc. We feel that the crowd who visited were of a different class who mean real business and not the 'just for fun' visitors. We definitely see potential business with the Italian exhibitors which we are in talks with Mukesh Anjaria, Head Business Development Food, Excel Cenomundus
