Dubai, UAE – Strengthening its presence in strategic markets and fostering relationships that create long-term value: this is the perspective driving Aetna Group's participation in Gulfood Manufacturing 2026, the leading event for the food and beverage industry across the MENA region, taking place from November 3 to 5 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
With 2,500 exhibitors from 79 countries at the 2025 edition, representing a 32% increase compared to the previous year, the event provides a key meeting point for manufacturers and for the technology ecosystem supporting the industry's production and logistics processes.
Aetna Group will be exhibiting in Sheikh Saeed Hall – Stand S3-E20, with a 24 sqm space dedicated to engaging with manufacturers, system integrators, distributors, and managers responsible for production, logistics, and procurement functions. The stand is designed to strengthen dialogue with market operators and to gain deeper insight into the needs of a region that is strategically important for the Group's business.
This participation further confirms the Group's commitment to supporting food & beverage companies with practical, high-performance packaging and end-of-line solutions, engineered to meet a wide range of production requirements. Robust, user-friendly technologies designed for digital integration are complemented by a responsive, flexible, and tailored service approach, aimed at building strong and long-lasting customer relationships.
In this context, participating in Gulfood Manufacturing represents more than simply attending a trade show: it is an opportunity to maintain and strengthen relationships, reaffirm customer proximity, and lay the foundations for future collaborations and projects, through an approach focused on delivering an increasingly responsive, flexible, and customized service experience.
