Parantez Group, gathering the sector under its umbrella for the eighth time in Istanbul, decided to organize IDMA in South America, Africa, and Asia following the demands of organizing the fair also in different regions of the world.

idma_dunya_bbm31IDMA - International Flour, Feed, Semolina, Rice, Corn, Bulghur, Milling Machinery & Pulse, Pasta, Biscuit Technologies Exhibition, hosts thousands of professional investors from all around the world for the eighth time on 20-23 March 2019 at Istanbul Expo Center. Nearly 200 international brands in milling, cereals and pulses processing technologies from 26 countries will open their booths and present their latest technologies. The IDMA Exhibition, where 155 billion dollar wheat and 5 billion dollar flour market technologies are exhibited, will be the platform of the sector once again with more than 7 thousand visitors across 105 countries.

Parantez Group, the organizer of the fair, is confident that IDMA will delight both the exhibitor and the visitor this year. “We will bring together the world milling sector. All eyes will be on IDMA.” says

Zubeyde Kavraz, General Manager of the Parantez Group. Reminding that IDMA 2017 Exhibition aroused interest with more than 7 thousand visitors from different nationalities, Ms. Kavraz states they expect more visitors this year. According to him, countries like Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Iran, Iraq, Russia, Ukraine, Nigeria, Pakistan, India and Kazakhstan will be prominent in terms of visitors.

Kavraz said that exhibitors and visitors from different regions of the world have expressed their appreciation for the success of IDMA and that they are facing the demands of organizing the fair also in other regions of the world. Kavraz, announced that Parantez Fair will organize exhibitions to bring the sector together in South America, Africa, and Asia on top of Istanbul.

Parantez Group General Manager emphasized that one of the most important tools in terms of business development and marketing in international markets where there is fierce competition in every field is fairs. “IDMA has played a significant role in strengthening the brand awareness of the companies serving in the milling sector, assisted them to reach new customers, diversify their markets and establish new export links. IDMA has become a platform for technology, information and innovation transfer in this industry. The companies that participated here increased their sales, enjoyed the opportunity to exhibit their new products and get in contact with customers who they could not reach with direct sales. All sector stakeholders (producers, investors, engineers, academicians) participating in IDMA were able to meet under one roof to discuss the problems of the sector and to discuss solutions. Our friends, who have seen these contributions, demanded that the fair take place in their own countries too. Now I think it is time to respond to these demands. Counting on our experience in this sector and the network we obtained with 85 thousand professionals and sector representatives across five continents, we decided to organize IDMA in Africa, Asia, and South America,” she said.
