Granarolo will take part in the most important international exhibitions in the agri-food sector scheduled for 2018 in Asia, America, Australia, and Europe. The investment is part of the commercial development plan to support the internationalisation process. Its aim is to present the entire range of products, increasingly characterised by the pursuit of high standards of safety, quality and genuineness for Made in Italy productions. The Group's strategy is to create a complete platform based on the 3 pillars ‘Italian dairy product’, ‘Italian healthy food’, and ‘Italian specialty food’. The latest news from Granarolo portfolio will also be presented. They are linked to new consumption trends and new consumer needs in Italy and abroad: organic, lactose-free, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free products.
A total of 13 events will be attended by Granarolo in 2018 throughout the world, from New Delhi to Shanghai, Singapore, Wellington, New York, São Paulo. Granarolo will exhibit at the international Fairs the entire range of products and brands of the Group, available for international markets. The Company will present itself as an ambassador of Made in Italy agro-food and excellences in the world. In detail the following products will be presented:
