The last preparations of the food exporting group

After having selected the alimentary companies participating to the exporter group, which will visit the SIAL Paris 2016 Exhibition, we took new steps. Less than a week before the opening of the Exhibition, the companies from food exportig group finally have address books of contacts interested by their products, which they will be able to meet during their visit to the country.

The mix of hope and nervousness is very palpable and the time to pack has come. We organized the latest common meeting for the food exporting group, before going to this new international adventure. At the Commercial Counsel siege of Maresme, they received a huge institutional support, fundamental for helping the promotion of our products.
