> SIAL MONTRÉAL GROWS IN NORTH AMERICA

In order to assert SIAL Montréal’s ambitions on the North American market, the stage was set in the Big Apple, July 8 of this year, to officially launch the fifth edition of SIAL Montréal. More than 25 trade journalists and a hundred American agri-food industry professionals attended the event and were presented the new edition of SIAL Montréal. Chef Marie-Chantale Lepage from Le Château Bonne Entente in Québec City was on hand to draw attention to

the rich culture of gastronomy that characterizes the province of Québec.
Moreover, since the creation of SIAL Montréal, our exclusive U.S. agent, IMEX MANAGEMENT, has devoted time and energy to expand our American customer base and develop its loyalty both as exhibitors and as visitors to our exhibition. In 2007, the number of U.S visitors grew by 64% compared with 2005, with some 32 states being represented! These are promising figures that compel us to aim even higher for 2008.

> NEW FOR THE FOOD SERVICE SECTOR

Visitors from the Food service-H.R.I. sector are increasing in numbers at SIAL Montréal. In 2007, they represented 20% of visitors to the exhibition. For the 2008 edition, SIAL Montréal will be introducing new points of interest specific to hotel, restaurant, catering and food service operators. To complement the food product offer, Set Canada, held in conjunction with SIAL Montréal since 2005, now welcomes for the first time the equipment, technology and services for the Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Food Service markets.
