Laurent Prevot, Factory Purchasing Manager, Findus France SAS
"We appreciate meeting the major players in the industry, and we come to the CFIA mainly to source new products in process, packaging and ingredients. We met new suppliers, with whom we have already arranged meetings. I have visited the CFIA for a number of years now, the event is increasing in stature but still remains a show with a human dimension. This event is really targeted for the food industry, and is very well situated in Brittany, the heart of the food industry!"
Vincent Marie Purchasing Manager, Roullier Group
"A well organised show. What is my objective? To meet packaging, packing and ingredient suppliers. It is very interesting to see on site all the members of the food industry that we know, it enables us to consolidate our existing contacts. I also met new suppliers at the CFIA."
Sebastien Guibert, Processing Assistant, La Mie Caline
"Our visit to the CFIA proved to be very interesting. We take care of the investment for new material in the bakery sector, and this event is for us the occasion to discover innovative technologies for our industry. It is a comprehensive show, with a wide variety of suppliers. The CFIA is a very professional and technical show."
Virginie Heslot, Quality Control manager, Captain Cook – Plozévet
"When visiting the CFIA, we mainly search for material solutions. It is essential to remain informed of development in terms of materials and solutions…We concentrate on improvement. It is a show that for me is well organised and interesting. The information given on arrival and the on site visit is easy and overall, i was able to see the suppliers that i particularly wanted to meet. Because of its situation, I was able to fit into one day, everything that I had to do."
Christophe Cornilleau, Production manager, Stalaven
"Visiting the CFIA means working on it the day before in order to be aware of the evolutions to be found at the show. As a production manager for savoury bakery products, it is important for me to be up to date on what’s happening on the market, materials, processing…We were highly satisfied by our visit as we saw many developments that have been made over the year."
Jean Michel Denoual, Technical Services manager, Charal Frozen Food
"We know the CFIA really well because we have visited every year since the first edition! We evaluate the current projects in process within the company, and we search for the solutions at the show. Several of us visit the CFIA, and following that, we all get together and discuss what we found and the contacts we made. It always has an extremely positive outcome!"
