EXHIBITOR FEEDBACK The fact Gulfood Manufacturing was so big and popular on its first outing highlights the demand for a specialist show in this sector. The industry is always interested in discovering the next big thing in food processing and this exhibition opens up doors for businesses to expand and learn from each other. As a business channel, Gulfood Manufacturing will drive investment in the regional food processing sector as local and regional companies invest in equipment and machinery to improve their manufacturing and packaging lines. His Excellency Abdul Rahman Saif Al Ghurair, Chairman, Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Gulfood Manufacturing has been the perfect gateway for us in meeting the right suppliers and customers for our business. Our business value is expected to reach USD 10million in the forthcoming week.
