The
17th Southern African International Trade Exhibition
(SAITEX) is a platform for trade across Africa and
internationally. It is an import/export business and trade fair
with exhibitors representing various industry sectors. This is
the only multi-sectoral trade event of its kind in Africa.
SAITEX was first established in 1993 and was acquired by
Exhibition Management Services (EMS) in November 2008. EMS is a
leading exhibition organiser, with a 28 year track record in
delivering successful trade fairs throughout the African
continent.
SAITEX 2010 will be co-located again with EMS’s
flagship event “Africa’s Big Seven” (AB7). This
expo specialises in food & beverages - it is the only event
of its kind that tracks produce from the farm gate to a retail
outlet and encompasses all the processes along the way. The expo
is so named because of its seven component parts. The first
combined event (i.e. SAITEX & AB7) in 2009 attracted 403
exhibiting companies from 39 countries and over 12, 700 visitors
from 44 countries. They showcased 392 product categories
featuring 2117 different items. |
