Whether you’re a startup, a midsized company or a multinational corporation, SNAXPO is your ideal opportunity to show off what you offer to the entire snack industry.

“SNAXPO is unarguably the most valuable few days of the year for a snack professional.”

Justin Spannuth, Unique Pretzel Bakery

“2019 was our first time exhibiting at SNAXPO and we were very impressed by the networking opportunities as well as the wide range of educational sessions that were offered. We are looking forward to displaying our packaging machinery solutions at SNAXPO20 in Charlotte.”

Jeff Porcaro, Midwest, PPI Technologies
