Calling all olive oil and wine producers: Cape Town will host the very first Wine and Olive Oil Suppliers Expo in October 2017!
South Africa is the eighth largest producer of wine in the world with export volumes having doubled in the past ten years and now many farms have also expanded by adding other products such as olive oil.
The South African climate is not only proving beneficial for the production of top class wines, but also award winning olive oil and that is why the newly-launched Wine and Olive Oil Suppliers Expo is set to launch in October 2017 in Cape Town.
The expo aims to bring wine and olive oil production and supply into the spotlight, Showcasing a wide range of the latest equipment, machinery, products and services from leading local and international manufacturers and suppliers to wine farms and olive oil producers, the Wine and Olive Oil Suppliers Expo will offer an ideal marketing platform for exhibitors. Visitors will have the opportunity to interact with top industry experts and gain invaluable industry insight.
A series of free-to-attend seminars will add further value to the expo with discussion topics such as sustainability, lightweight packaging options for wine and olive oil, recycling, mechanisation and the use of technology in the wine making process, ingredients, water purification, and many others.
We have been in discussion with many wine farmers and industry suppliers in the Western Cape and they agree that a show of this nature can bring valuable benefit to these markets. Bringing the new Wine and Olive Oil Suppliers Expo alongside Propak Cape aligns the synergy of both exhibitions. Propak Cape will be showcasing the full industry lifecycle from raw materials and processing to packaging, plastics, printing, labelling, logistics, warehousing, recycling and waste management. The Wine and Olive Oil Suppliers Expo will cover the full supply chain up to the point of packaging including, but not limited to, suppliers of fertilisers, chemicals, vines, and all the machinery used for separation, filtration and ageing of wine. – Joshua Low, Portfolio Director, Specialised Exhibitions Montgomery.
The Wine and Olive Oil Suppliers Expo and Propak Cape 2017 will be taking place at the Cape Town International Conference Centre (CTICC) from 24-26 October 2017.
