SIGEP is by far the leading international trade fair in the gelato world. It’s absolutely a leader in Italy, but we have seen its presence grow in all continents over the years. SIGEP is a can’t-miss appointment to us and the beginning of the gelato and pastry season each year.

Francesco Osti President COMPRITAL

SIGEP represents the ultimate show at this moment as it dictates future trends and, every year, attracts the main players in the gelato industry from all over the world. SIGEP represents the moment of the year when we talk gelato in worldwide terms.

Achille SassoliDirector of Market DevelopmentCARPIGIANI

At SIGEP you can find anything you need, from raw materials to final product. I think everyone will agree with me that “Made in Italy” is now a brand that means great quality. I will definitely recommend SIGEP because that is where you can find all the novelties, explore all the latest trends in the market and, of course, you can find very interesting business partners.

Elizaveta Krivorotko Development Manager CheeseberryRUSSIA

SIGEP is an important opportunity for us to meet up with our customers, but also to acquire new customers that we would hardly be able to reach otherwise. SIGEP is one of the key ‘tools’ we use to expand our presence worldwide.

Giorgio Agugiaro Manager AGUGIARO E FIGNA

If you want to get some new ideas, if you want to create or get some creativity going and see how other people approach things, you can’t absolutely miss SIGEP.

Gary WinklerPresident and Founder- Owner BROTHERS INTERNATIONAL DESSERTS CALIFORNIA - USA

“Made in Italy” means quality, innovation, design and lifestyle. I highly recommend SIGEP because you can see everything, all the trends that are happening in the market.

Key Karina Nakay Food & Beverage CoordinatorACCOR HOTEL BRASIL

SIGEP is a good platform, a good opportunity to find new products and to discover new developments or the novelties in pastry and baking.

LC GROUP - PERU

We and SIGEP… we grew up together. We’ve always invited our customers here and we have promoted the value of SIGEP in the world over many years. We have tripled our presence here because SIGEP no longer only speaks the language of gelato, but also represents the ‘sweetness’ of the Italian hospitality worldwide.Nicola Fabbri CeoFABBRI 1905

SIGEP has become one of the most important trade fairs in the world, if not the most important because this is where all people, colleagues and customers meet now.Davide Comaschi Director of the Chocolate Academy Italia CALLEBAUT

SIGEP is of inestimable value to us. We have been a part of the show for many years now, and we became a Main Sponsor for all pastry and gelato competitions. SIGEP is an integral part of the training course of our young pastry chefs and also of the most experienced.

Igor MaiellanoDirector Market VALRHONA ITALY

We have found a number of international buyers at SIGEP. We see coffee and gelato as two aspects of Made in Italy that complement each other and are appreciated all over the world. We have been exhibiting at SIGEP for at least 18 years now, or definitely since when the world of coffee was not yet represented at the show.

Maurizio GiuliMarketing ManagerSIMONELLI GROUP

SIGEP is worth more than any other show in terms of communication. To us, it represents the starting point of every new year as it coincides with the beginning of a new season, but especially here we can meet the entire world we are offering our products to.

Gianni BabbiMarketing DirectorBABBI

SIGEP is always a key meeting point with our international buyers. It is the most important trade fair in the gelato sector worldwide and it’s where, each year, we showcase the novelties of our products, for all markets. Cristina TosiDirettore ManagerMEC3

SIGEP is a very important showcase because it allows us to both learn about the latest markets and to consolidate the relationships we already have in place. SIGEP represents an absolutely winning combination to us and we will definitely continue to get involved in the show also in the future.Ennio ParentiniGeneral ManagerITALMILL

SIGEP is by far the official place where the entire industry convenes to explore the future trends and novelties of the coming years.
