          EUROPAIN 2018: PACKED WITH BUSINESS AND IDEAS FOR
            ENTREPRENEURS IN THE BAKERY-PASTRY INDUSTRY!

Over a period of four days Europain brought together all the players in the industry in Paris. More
than 52,000 professionals, including one third international, attended the event to discover the latest
products and services proposed by the exhibitors. For the first time the offering was structured into
3 sections: MANUFACTURING, SELLING, MANAGING. Reflecting the dynamism of a booming sector
the new Europain Forum attracted many visitors keen to find information on the latest trends and
best practices in the trade. Four Demo Labs and three major contests dedicated to bakery and pastry
featured a variety of unique recipes and revealed promising talents as well as well-established
professionals.

A SUCCESSFUL REVOLUTION FOR EUROPAIN
Europain enabled entrepreneurs in the bakery-pastry sector to find the best solutions to enhance
productivity and transparency, boost sales using innovative tools, and manage efficiently to invest more
effectively. Exhibitors at the show reported that visitors often came to them with concrete investment
projects concerning production equipment or sales point design and arrangement.

   Antoine Lemerle, CEO ARIA: “We made a considerable number of contacts with motivated visitors
who were clearly attending the event with business in mind. We concluded several sales and prepared
  some estimates, including some export sales that would not have been possible without Europain.”

More than 100 new products were featured at the show. Concerning products and ingredients, there was
a strong trend for natural products, organic and transparency of supply chain. As for appliances and
equipment, the emphasis was clearly on flexibility, user-friendliness and energy efficiency. Among the
new products proposed for the first time to the visitors’ vote, the “Carrés®” by Moulins Bourgeois have
won the Europain 2018 Visitors’ Award.

EUROPAIN A STAGE FOR WORLDWIDE BAKERY
Europain 2018 welcomed more than 32% international visitors from all over the world who are
increasingly drawn by French excellence in this sector. This was up 12% compared with the previous
edition.

Mr Zanlorenzi, CEO OCF: “We experienced a good dynamics at Europain, a very lively trade show with
    a dense offering. We’re also pleased with the visitors who were motivated and very professional.
 They had obviously prepared their visit beforehand and knew what they wanted to see, in particular
                our new products. People came from all continents, which is really interesting for us.”
