After careful consideration, ProFood Tech producers, PMMI, Koelnmesse and International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), have decided to cancel ProFood Tech 2021, originally scheduled to take place April 13-15, due to the unusually crowded spring 2021 trade show calendar caused by the rescheduling of industry events due to COVID-19.

In order to provide exhibitors with advanced notice and to relieve them of the burden of planning for another show this spring, show producers have agreed they will be cancelling this premier processing event.

The ProFood Tech partners remain committed to serving the needs of the processing industry independently through high-quality events and trade shows - PACK EXPO, Anuga FoodTec and the Dairy Forum and appreciate the continued confidence and support of our exhibitors, business partners and industry stakeholders.

PMMI will be contacting all exhibitors to refund any space deposits made for ProFood Tech 2021. Should you have any questions regarding your refund, please contact the PMMI Show Department with any questions at expo@pmmi.org or (571) 612-3200.
