Jeddah is preparing to host SaudiFood Manufacturing 2026 from 27 to 29 September 2026 at Jeddah Superdome. The event will bring together companies, manufacturers, suppliers and specialists from every stage of the food and beverage production chain.
The exhibition is a specialised business platform for food and beverage manufacturing, with a focus on developing local production and manufacturing capabilities, improving sector infrastructure and strengthening supply-chain resilience as Saudi Arabia’s food industries continue to expand.
Manufacturing, packaging and ingredients
The event covers an integrated range of sectors across the food-production journey, from food ingredients through production, packaging, transport and storage.
Its key sectors include ingredients; food and beverage processing and manufacturing technologies; packaging; supply-chain solutions; and control and automation systems. This gives professionals an opportunity to explore technologies and solutions that can improve factory and production efficiency.
Automation and digital transformation in food factories
The exhibition dedicates space to technologies reshaping food production, particularly digitalisation, control systems and automation, alongside solutions that help businesses upgrade operations, reduce costs and improve productivity.
The products and solutions on display include technologies linked to robotics, smart supply chains, logistics and sustainable automation, reflecting the sector’s growing move towards smart factories.
The TawaSul Meetings Programme
SaudiFood Manufacturing 2026 offers the TawaSul Meetings Programme, designed to arrange pre-scheduled business meetings between exhibitors, visitors, buyers, suppliers and potential partners.
By matching participants’ interests, the programme makes it easier to reach relevant contacts and hold meetings focused on business opportunities, partnerships and expanding professional networks within the food and beverage industry.
Innovation Tours
The event also offers Innovation Tours, giving participants a direct look at selected technologies and innovations on display and their applications in food manufacturing and production.
The combination of the exhibition, professional programmes and business meetings reinforces its role as a platform connecting technology and solution suppliers with manufacturers, buyers and decision-makers.
Jeddah hosts the event in September
The 2026 edition gains added significance from Jeddah’s connections to trade, distribution and import networks, as well as retail and hospitality sectors. The city is therefore an important gateway for companies seeking access to Saudi Arabia’s food and beverage market.
Overall, the exhibition aims to support the growth of the food-manufacturing ecosystem, connect businesses with modern equipment, technologies and solutions, and open the way for partnerships that strengthen local production and supply-chain efficiency.
