From better bacon to celebrating a big occasion, we’ve put together 5 reasons why you should visit foodpro:

50th anniversary

foodpro isn’t just an opportunity to engage with the industry but also an occasion to celebrate, as 2017 marks the 50th anniversary of the show! Celebrating five decades of supporting the industry, foodpro 2017 is the biggest and best event yet. Considering it only happens every three years, that’s even more reason to make sure you’re at foodpro 2017.

Better Bacon

Unitherm Food Systems (Stand E48, Level 4) will be bringing you better bacon, literally. Debuting their unique spiral oven, they’ll be showing how it cooks bacon better by doing just that – cooking bacon! Which means bacon available to eat on the foodpro show floor. Need we say more?

Show Stopping Technology

Stop to check out exciting holographic technology or perhaps event play a spot of mini golf. foodpro isn’t just showcasing great new products and equipment, but this year is also about having a good time while doing it. Your time on the show floor won’t just be informative, but also incredibly entertaining.

Experience the ICC

foodpro will be taking over the newly built ICC in Sydney’s Darling Harbour, giving you the opportunity check out the incredible new space that’s only recently opened. With two levels dedicated to exhibition space (that’s over 23,500 square metres!), and another level for seminars, there’ll be plenty to experience in Australia’s premier event venue.

Supply Chain Integrity Zone

Whether you’re a large or small manufacturing business, it’s worth stopping at the Supply Chain Integrity Zone. Featuring businesses with some great ideas and smart technology behind them for traceability, you’ll quickly get insights into the future of Australia’s food industry.

Packaging News

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
