EXPOCENTRE and Sigma Expo Group announce that they have reached an agreement under which the Food Expo exhibition will be integrated into the largest international exhibition for food, beverages and food raw materials in Russia and Eastern Europe, Prodexpo, which is one of the leading exhibition brands of EXPOCENTRE.

As a result of the merger, starting from 2026, Prodexpo will receive an additional impetus to development. New opportunities for international participation will open up, and the potential exhibition area will increase. The move to the new venue – Crocus Expo – will allow offering participants high-quality infrastructure and logistics.

EXPOCENTRE, as the organiser of Prodexpo, will continue to be in charge of the overall concept, management and development of the show. In its turn, Sigma Expo Group will assist in attracting foreign exhibitors and national pavilions as it has extensive international experience and a network of foreign partners.

Maxim Fateev, Director General at EXPOCENTRE AO:

“This is a strategically important step that will allow Prodexpo to strengthen its position as Russia's main food exhibition. The expansion of the show opens up new horizons for both domestic and international exhibitors.”

In February 2025, Prodexpo brought together 1,835 exhibitors from 40 countries and more than 69,000 professional visitors, reaffirming its status as the leading industry platform for showcasing food products.

EXPOCENTRE has been consistently developing its own exhibition brands, adapting them to new conditions and creating large-scale industry business platforms. The merger with Food Expo and cooperation with Sigma Expo Group is an important milestone on this path.
