The 14th edition of the GastroPan international exhibition will take place between 17-19 March 2023, in Romania, Brașov, Lux Divina center, in 3 exhibition halls: Dacia, Lux Divina and Parc halls. The organizers of GastroPan exhibition set the final details needed to open the new project for 2023. It is the right time for companies supplying equipment, ingredients and solutions for the bakery, pastry and HoReCa sectors to plan their participation for the next edition of the exhibition which will be in next spring.
The organizers are already preparing for the next edition of GastroPan exhibition, the main strategic objective of the exhibition being to increase the level of professionalism in the bakery, confectionery and HoReCa sector in Romania by presenting world-class companies and the most innovative, international best practices and trends on the Romanian and international market to the benefit of all parties involved in these industries – producers, distributors, consumers.
The event will reunite the most important industry producers and distributors of equipment, technologies, ingredients and services dedicated to the food industry – bakery, pastry, confectionery, ice cream, chocolate, milling and HoReCa. Organized annually, the GastroPan exhibition brings together supply and demand, suppliers and producers in a place that allows complex presentations of products, technologies and services to a target group of specialists that are interested in the above sectors.
Who are the visitors of GastroPan exhibition and what is the reason why specialists visit the exhibition every year?
The experience of the organizers in the bakery, confectionery and HoReCa sectors allows the selection of the visiting public using precise criteria, one of the main advantages offered by GastroPan being the very high degree of specialization of those who visit the exhibition. Using as selection criteria the characteristics of the business they make, the organizers invite those people who could represent potential customers for exhibitors and who know both market demands and technical characteristics of the solutions they want for their business.
Thus, the exhibitors can use efficiently the three days of the exhibition, the presentations and demonstrations held at the stands being at a high level of professionalism. At GastroPan, suppliers interact with industry producers or potential customers. The specialists present at the event as visitors are looking for innovative solutions for their business, the exhibition being the ideal opportunity for them to test and see the functionality of equipment or machines or the preparation of new products for the market as well as to attend demonstrations held by world-class trainers.
Who exhibits at GastroPan and what is the reason why the exhibiting companies return to the exhibition, year after year?
Knowing the potential that GastroPan offers, the most important suppliers in the Romanian and international market reserve exhibition stands for GastroPan. Romanian and international exhibitors have already announced their participation for the exhibition requesting stands with bigger exhibiting space than the previously reserved booths last year. For this reason, the organizers have decided that the next year’s exhibition will take place in 3 exhibition halls. This only confirms the fact that the previous edition was a success for them, the investment in GastroPan being a profitable one for them.
The reason why exhibitors return to GastroPan is that they obtained the expected results and reached the sales targets forecast for this event. Increasing brand awareness and networking opportunities are two other reasons most often stated in the feedback of exhibitors, GastroPan giving them the opportunity to promote themselves among specialists in the field in which they operate.
Therefore, visitors of the next edition can already expect that exhibitors are now preparing complex demonstrations and technological innovations.
Practical demo shows being an attraction for visitors
Experience so far has shown that visitors pay more attention and time to those stands where exhibitors organized interesting practical presentations, cooking or baking shows or testing of innovative products. Moreover, product presentations and testing are moments of major importance in the decision-making process, with visitors being inclined to purchase products or technologies that they see and whose mechanism and mode of functionality are clearly explained and benefits can be perceived easily.
Added value through the technologies exhibited at GastroPan
Through the exhibited technologies – whether we are talking about equipment, furniture, utensils, accessories, consumables, ingredients or services – world-class suppliers who will be present at GastroPan will add value to local businesses which operate in the bakery, confectionery and HoReCa.

The profile suppliers will present their latest technological innovations that make the work easier and increase the sales of these business. The stands on this segment will be animated by a series of demo shows through which exhibitors will show visitors how to use the solutions presented.
In the field of CONFECTIONERY and ICE CREAM, the exhibitors will show the latest products and concepts that are successful in Europe, but also a series of facilities for production units and shops.
