Your stand at CFIA Toulouse.
CFIA Toulouse is aimed at suppliers to the food industry, with exhibitors spanning Ingredients & Intermediate Food Products, Equipment & Processes, and Packaging & Wrapping. The 2026 edition has been announced with more than 350 suppliers at MEETT. The target visitors are decision-makers, buyers, technicians, and production, maintenance, purchasing, R&D and design office managers from across the food-processing industry. For an exhibitor, the stand must therefore make the offer clear at a glance, show real-world applications and make technical discussions about the solutions on display easy.

Stand size
What size, what format
For a first foray into the market or a compact sales presence, modular packs from 9 to 24 m², from €420 excl. VAT per m², with pricing and a design proposal within 48 working hours, suit exhibitors who want a well-defined, ready-to-use stand; above 24 m², contact us. For suppliers of equipment, processes or packaging with a demonstration, a storeroom, a machine or a product scenography, bespoke joinery stands let you tailor the layout: allow €650 excl. VAT per m², the rate for elsewhere in France, with pricing within 14 working days. Approval of the technical file by the organiser is included. Transport, installation and dismantling are included from the very first quote; a purchased stand can stay in our warehouse between two shows, for €80 excl. VAT per month.

The reverse schedule
Ready on opening day
6 months before
Define the floor area, sales objectives and demonstration constraints. The budget simulator gives you a guide price in two minutes, then pricing for a modular pack arrives within 48 working hours, with a design proposal.
Once the stand space is confirmed
Settle the stand layout and the reception, demonstration and storeroom areas, taking into account the technical profile of CFIA Toulouse and access at MEETT.
Before manufacturing
Finalise content, visuals, electrical requirements, furniture and any constraints related to the machines or products on display. For a bespoke joinery stand, allow for pricing within 14 working days.
Before installation
Prepare the technical file and have it approved by the organiser; approval is included in the messtands.com service. Confirm logistics, access and equipment storage.
Show day
Make sure the stand is ready to open and carry out the final adjustments. During the show, after-sales service provides an on-site technician in under 2 hours.
Points to watch
Getting your stand approved by the organiser is included in our service: you do not need to open the regulations, we know them.
- MEETT has a dedicated exhibitor service: technical orders, installation access and special requests must be coordinated with the organiser via the exhibitor portal as soon as it opens.
- The show takes place at MEETT, in Aussonne: distinguish between the venue’s official address and the marketing that refers to Toulouse, to avoid mistakes with transport, deliveries or accommodation.
- Demonstrations involving equipment, processes, packaging or ingredients must be scoped before the technical file: power, handling, storage, safety and consumables have a direct impact on the stand layout.
- CFIA Toulouse visitors come looking for practical industrial solutions: plan clear signage for each business application, rather than a purely corporate stand.
Frequently asked questions
CFIA Toulouse: the practicalities
How much does a stand at CFIA Toulouse cost?
The budget depends on the floor area, the level of customisation, the built-in equipment and the venue’s technical services. At messtands.com, modular packs range from 9 to 24 m², from €420 excl. VAT per m², with transport, installation and dismantling included from the very first quote; pricing and the design proposal arrive within 48 working hours. For a bespoke joinery stand, allow €650 excl. VAT per m², the rate for elsewhere in France, with pricing within 14 working days.
When should you start your stand project for CFIA Toulouse?
Ideally, a project is prepared 6 months before opening, especially if you are exhibiting a machine, a process solution or a demonstration set-up. For the confirmed edition of 22–24 September 2026, that leaves time to lock in the stand space, layout, technical file, manufacturing and logistics. A modular pack can be scoped more quickly, but planning ahead reduces last-minute trade-offs.
What type of stand should an equipment or process supplier plan for at CFIA Toulouse?
The stand must quickly show how the solution is used in industry: a clear layout, a visible demonstration, a space for technical discussion and a suitable storeroom. For equipment and processes, plan ahead for the constraints of handling, power supply, safety and circulation around the equipment. If the machine is not physically on display, a model, an application video or a product staging can make up for it, provided it stays highly practical.
