Michael Sas, President Across Foods LLC

"I have been visiting Anuga for more than 20 years. It is a great event to connect and maintain relationships. Can’t wait to pack my bags and continue the tradition this upcoming October!"

Bob Bauer, Präsident, US Association for Food Industries

"A missed ANUGA is a missed opportunity for AFI. More than half of AFI’s members – U.S. importers and foreign suppliers shipping to the U.S. – participate in ANUGA. Our special events at the show and the interactions on the trade show floor put buyers and sellers together and give suppliers the chance to get the latest on U.S. regulations and trends.

ANUGA’s many exhibitors provide a wide variety of foods and a good percentage of product available to U.S. buyers, so AFI’s U.S. members make the show a priority in their business planning."
