France Highlights High-Value Food Tech Solutions

At Propak Asia 2025 – BITEC, Bangkok

French Pavilion – Hall 104

9 French companies to exhibit at Asia’s leading processing & packaging trade show

From 11 to 14 June 2025, 9 French companies specialising in food processing and packaging technologies will be exhibiting on the French Pavilion organised by Business France in Hall 104 at Propak Asia. As a key regional hub, the show gathers every year thousands of professionals from across Southeast Asia and beyond, including Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, China, Japan, Cambodia, and Singapore.

In the post-COVID recovery period, Propak Asia remains the must-attend event for industry players looking for performance, innovation, and sustainable solutions. The show reflects the dynamism of fast-growing markets in Southeast Asia, where food industries are increasingly investing in automation, safety, and eco-efficient processing.

Responding to Southeast Asia’s ambitions for modern, resilient food industries

Across the ASEAN region, the food and beverage industry is booming. Population growth, rising consumer expectations, and food sovereignty goals are driving countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia to modernise their agricultural and food processing sectors. There is growing demand for high-performance equipment that supports process optimisation, cold chain development, product quality improvement and environmental impact reduction.

In this context, French manufacturers offer high-value, concrete solutions tailored to Southeast Asia’s real needs. From automation and traceability to food safety, energy efficiency, and innovative packaging formats, they provide cutting-edge technologies that boost industrial performance while supporting sustainability goals.
