SIAL China

SIAL is an abbreviation for “Salon International De L'Alimentation”, which is the French for “International Food Exhibition”. SIAL is transliterated into Chinese as "西雅" (Xīyǎ). Established in 1964 in Paris, France, SIAL is a proprietary brand of the Comexposium Group.

The SIAL global series of food exhibitions take place in various locations worldwide, including Shanghai, Shenzhen, Paris, Montreal, Toronto, New Delhi, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, among others. It serves as a crucial platform for numerous food enterprises worldwide to convey their voices and showcase their inherent value. In order to promote the development and prosperity of the Chinese food industry, Comexposium Group introduced SIAL to China in 2000. Building upon the international, trade-oriented, and professional of the SIAL brand, innovative differentiation advantages have been developed by integrating with the local conditions of the Chinese market.

It has successfully established the development pattern of simultaneous exhibitions in Shanghai and Shenzhen.

SIAL Shanghai has become one of the “SIAL world's three major food exhibitions”. SIAL Shenzhen, positioned as the “SIAL global expo for engaging with the world”, aims to attract global attention and focus on the development of the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau. Each year, SIAL comprehensively showcases new food and beverage products from various countries and regions. With a wealth of high-quality invited buyer resources, the exhibition period facilitates face-to-face interactions between professional buyers, boosting on-site orders and uncovering business opportunities. Moreover, the 360° integrated marketing approach during non-exhibition periods, combining online and offline channels, provides convenient trade services, continually bringing about transaction opportunities for attendees.
