The space commercialization of Tecno Fidta 2010 has begun
with great success.

More than 50% of the total area is already booked.

The 10th edition of the exhibition will present a new visual
identity.

The commercial opening of Tecno Fidta 2010, the most important
exhibition for the food industry in South America, took place. The
event was carried out in the Main Auditorium of Costa Salguero Trade Center and summoned the most important firms related to food technology, additives and ingredients.

148 companies have already hired its space by choosing the location
and the number of square meters they will occupy. There are still 11
months to go for the beginning of the fair and more than 50% of the
net area to be sold was commercialized in just one day (4,523 sqm),
thus showing a positive market perspective in relation to the current
context.

Since Messe Frankfurt took charge of Tecno Fidta organization, it
kept, with small adjustments, the inherited image. The main reason
was to keep the product image both for exhibitors and visitors to view that, though the organizers were different, the event was to maintain its features.

Then, after three successful editions, it was time to generate a
change and create a dynamic and attractive image to represent the event. With clear aims regarding what we want to say and after fruitful work meetings, the visual identity has been defined.

The new Tecno Fidta key visual has a concept set out that
reproduces each of the sectors covered by the exhibition. To achieve this, we used synthesis as the icon representation tool for descriptive elements that, as a "collage”, draw South America. The final outcome presents a range of meanings related to food technology world. The use of simple graphic and typographic elements created a great dynamism, flexibility and high communicational impact piece.

The 10th International Exhibition of Food Technology, Additives and
Ingredients will be the ideal place to meet the greatest exponents of
the sector both at national and international level. They will be four
unique days to make new commercial relationships, get training and
updating with the latest news in products and services.

As in every edition, Indexport Messe Frankfurt, the fair organizer, has the support and summoning of Argentine Association of Food
Technologists (AATA). The organizers estimate the participation of
300 exhibitors and the visit of more than 17,000 professionals and
sector businessmen.

Tecno Fidta 2010 will be carried out on September 21-24, 2010 in Costa Salguero Trade Center.

This event has been exclusively planned for professionals of the
sector. People under 18 years even attending with an adult or parents carrying baby strollers will not be admitted.
Technical schools will only be able to visit the fair with a previous
authorization from the organizer.
