The Parma area is arguably the unofficial capital of the Italian food and food technology industry and home to world  leading food companies, such as Barilla, Parmalat, and CIM and to EFSA - European Food Safety Authority.  Every 2 years Parma hosts CIBUS TEC, the leading Italian trade show for food processing equipment.

Globally Parma is known for the dairy and meat processing industries and signature food products such as Prosciutto di Parma ham, Parmigiano cheese and more.  However, not everybody knows that 65% of Italy’s bakery, confectionery, and snack producing companies are located within a 200 km radius of this picturesque city.
To promote Parma’s technological prowess in the bakery, confectionery, and snack sectors, Machines Italia - Italian Trade Commission (ITA) and Fiere di Parma invited a few foreign delegates to attend the Cibus Tec Workshop 2018, a three-day event of B2B meetings, facility visits, and peer-to-peer networking opportunities.
Cibus Tec Workshop was held in Parma, Italy, from June 19th to June 22nd, 2018, and brought together a select group of bakery and confectionery technology suppliers (vendors) and international food processors, including buyers from Canada and North America – among which Uncle Tetsu, Karma Candy, and Monte Cristo Bakery.
