Your stand at SIAL Paris.

One of the world’s largest food trade shows: producers, brands, buyers from mass retail and food service. People come to taste: the stand is a kitchen and a counter as much as an image.

Stand size

What size, what format

Tastings bring their own constraints: worktops, storeroom, visitor flow. The modular pack accommodates them from 9 m²; in wood, the Zhen-Ao stand we delivered at Fi Europe shows what warm cladding brings to a food exhibitor.

    Installation, cleaning the day before opening, essential when you serve food, after-sales service within 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.

  • Tastings involve hygiene rules and specific declarations to the organiser
  • Water and electricity are ordered from the venue, with deadlines well ahead of installation
  • An enclosed storeroom makes all the difference at a food show: it is among the pack options
Tasting board on oak: bread, cheese, ceramic bowls

Frequently asked questions

SIAL Paris: the practicalities

How much does a stand at SIAL cost?

From €420 excl. VAT per m² for a modular pack, with everything included from the very first quote. Your live guide price, size by size: the budget simulator.

Can we cook or offer tastings on the stand?

Yes: worktops, enclosed storeroom and power supplies are planned from the design stage, and declarations go through the technical file we submit for you.

Is a wooden stand a good fit at a food show?

In fact, it makes a strong statement. Look at the Zhen-Ao stand at Fi Europe: fully clad in wood, in a sector that usually exhibits in clinical white.
