The show was also a good floor to promote new varieties. Companies introduced varieties of products, which weren't ready for commercial volumes. Besides that many companies are trying to find new packaging that is easier for consumers and to promote healthy eating.
The last day is always slower than other days. However where it normally winds down after 1-2 pm. This time Sunday was still busy till 30 minutes before the show was over.
"Many exhibitors find this show professionally organized and that is thanks to our great staff," said Nancy Tucker, who was very happy with this record year. "This show is a show where companies can gain attention."
