Why Do We Do It?

This two-day event will bring together all sectors of the meat processing industry in one location.

The Expo offers over 75,000 sq. ft. of exhibitor space for us to:

  • Showcase our products, services, and equipment
  • Launch new products
  • Introduce solutions to emerging industry challenges
  • Meet potential, bond with existing, and reconnect with past customers
