The inaugural International FoodTec China/Interfood Shanghai held in Shanghai, 4th to 6th September 2006 was a resounding success:

8,181 trade visitors from 82 countries coming to the Shanghai New International Expo Center for the event. Around 21 per cent of the visitors were from outside China.

According to the enormous potential of this booming market International FoodTec China/Interfood was accompanied by two more trade shows:
The well established Sweets China, China’s N°1 event for the sweet, snack and confectionery industry and the World of food China, a trade show dedicated only to the food and beverage sector.

For 2007, the successful concept of the triple event will continue with a bi-annually alternating "combination": the new trade show International Sweet & SnackTec China together with its parallel events Sweets China and World of food China will take place from 5th to 7th September 2007 in Shanghai.

International FoodTec China in combination with Sweets China and World of food China will take place from 03 – 05 September 2008 in Shanghai in co-operation with SIEC (Shanghai International Exhibition Co., Ltd.)
