São Paulo, November 2023 – Concepta Ingredients, a business unit of Sabará Group specializing in the supply of natural solutions for the food and beverage industry, is participating for the second consecutive year in one of the world’s leading events for the food industry: Gulfood Manufacturing, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Held from November 7 to 9, the trade show brings together companies from more than 70 countries across the Ingredients, Processing, Packaging, Supply Chain Solutions, and Control and Automation segments.
At its booth in 2023, Concepta Ingredients is showcasing Vegetable Butter and Açaí, Passion Fruit, and Brazil Nut Oils from its Arboreto line. The company is also presenting Virgin, Extra Virgin, and Refined Coconut Oils, as well as Coconut and Palm Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), which are suitable for a wide range of industries and applications.
For Commercial Director André Sabará, participating in Gulfood reinforces Concepta Ingredients’ strategy in the Middle East market and the importance of taking part in an event of this scale. “There are only eight Brazilian companies at the event, and we are proud to be participating once again, especially for the opportunity to build new connections, develop business opportunities, and strengthen relationships,” he notes. “We will showcase our products sourced from the Amazon, highlighting what is being produced in our country by a company with 100% Brazilian expertise,” he adds.
In 2021, Concepta Ingredients began operations in Dubai to serve customers across the Middle East and North Africa. Juliana Camillo, the executive responsible for new business development, highlights the progress made over the past year and the trade show’s importance in strengthening the company’s presence in the region.
“With our second participation in Gulfood Manufacturing, we aim to build on our work in the Middle East and North Africa, while continuing to highlight Brazilian ingredients and the work Concepta Ingredients has carried out over the years,” she concludes.
